I've never heard of it either! Fascinating. What is it for? ;)

Here they use it insteadof sal volatile. :)

Wikipedia says:

Hungary water (sometimes called "the Queen of Hungary's Water",[1] Eau de la Reine de Hongrie,[2] or "spirits of rosemary"[2]) was one of the first alcohol-based perfumes in Europe, primarily made with rosemary.[2] The oldest surviving recipes call for distilling fresh rosemary and thyme[3] with brandy,[4] while later formulations contain wine,[5][6] lavender,[5][6] mint, sage,[3] marjoram,[4] costus, orange blossom and lemon

Interesting!
