叮。applying toilet water will protect us ? Eau du toilette perhaps? I think something got lost on the journey from French to English to Chinese back to English

Hi, thank you for the comment! You are right. "Toilet water" is the literal translation for "eau de toilette".

We have updated the translation in our dictionary:

花露水 [n] eau de toilette, Florida water

It's common for manufacturers to add insect-repelling ingredients into 花露水, but if course not all brands contain such ingredients.

Updates are available online on our website, they will appear in the app with the next update.
