Toilette water
Answer:
EAU
Hint:
French term for a light, fragrant liquid often found in perfume bottles.
Explanation:
"Toilette water" is a direct translation of the French term eau de toilette, a light fragrance concentration. The clue hints at the French word for "water," which is eau—a common shorthand in perfumery. Since crosswords often use foreign borrowings, the answer is simply the French term without extra letters.
