Hello, Victor:

Yes, it probably will be a hit with all the kiddies at daycare. You might like it, too. As I mentioned earlier, it's a pleasant fragrance, although candy sweet. Give it a try.

obie,

i think i'm mainly a bay rum or old spice man.. but perhaps if i ever come across an inexpensive bottle.. but first i have yet to try the lilac vegetal.

from which site do i order floid from anyway?

Victor:

Spanish Floid is not in bay rum's neighborhood. For that reason, you might not like it. If you like Old Spice, however, you might also like Spanish Floid. As for Lilac Vegetable, every shaver should try it as least once.

I bought my Spanish Floid from the Vintage Scent.

Regards,

Obie

thanks obie,

i have yet to order from the vintage scent.. but a semogue brush was on my "to buy" list anyway..

also.. on my last visit to the barber i noticed a bottle of gabel's lilac splash on the counter... and i've got to say.. i was not reminded of urinal cakes in the least.. i'll see how the pinaud offering works for me.

Spanish floid has somewhat of a sweet smell. It may be a little bit of a reach, but the closest I can compare it to is Trumper's Spanish Leather, which to me, doesn't smell half as good as T&H Spanish Leather, if that makes any sense.

Anyway, it's a good alcohol splash, but not much in the way of moisturizing properties. IMO, tt's probably the European equivalent of Aqua Velva, and if you buy it locally, is not priced much higher than AV. I don't know why the US importers tend to charge so much for it.

i think i will give it a try and buy the Spanish version.

thanks for your input

From what I understand, the Italian version has a cool and mentholated fragrance. In that case, I can assume it's nothing like the Spanish Floid.

I ordered some of this tonight. I couldn't keep putting it off any more!

here's how one vendor described it:

Great scent, and a huge menthol burst. Awesome!

Do you agree with this?

The menthol kick is powerful, I place it just after the Osage Rub's . It's the first lotion created for use as aftershave, I think that is well to remember the shaves of our grandpa's, and the product still is a good lotion and widely available in Spain.

so is it really the aqua velva of spain? i mean.. is it to the point where floid isn't taken seriously in spain.. just as aqua velva is not taken seriously in the u.s.?

(to the masses i mean.. of course we at srp all know the true power that is held in that nice 5 dollar bottle)
