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

In Spain the Aqua Velva is also very popular, is the most sold aftershave, I think. The Floïd remains popular, but it has the look of and "old" product, and it's true it's a really old school aftershave, from the oldest school

Some people understimate the Floïd because its look of vintage product, usually the people who pretends to know how can be cool a man...

I know the new scents and products for the men, but, you can call me romantic, I like to have some stuff from the ancien cabient of my grandpas, if they were good for them they will be good for me.

Hello, Paul:

I find Spanish Floid a pleasant aftershave, best suited for mornings, but expect to apply it several times a day for its low staying power. The fragrance reminds me of sweet mentholated candy.

Spanish Floid is mentholated, yes, although I would not call it a "huge menthol burst," as the vendor describes. I've had far more menthol burst from Proraso, which I also tried once and moved on.

Overall Spanish Floid should be tried by everyone at least once. When my bottle empties, I will move on, happy that I tried this legendary of sorts aftershave.

Regards,

Obie

Great scent, and a huge menthol burst. Awesome!

This is true of the Vigoroso version, strong but not overwhelmingly mentholated. The Mentolado Suave is much less so. I sold my small bottle of the latter, and picked up a big 400ml bottle of the Vigoroso when I was in Spain last year! I think you will like it, Paul.

The small bottle (75 ml.) has been discontinued, if you have one keep it, they will be unavailable in the future

No, I think it was the regular size (150ml?). I guess I meant small in relative terms.

If and when I finish my 400ml bottle, I will probably get another.

i just bought the 150 ml bottle, it is not a very expensive aftershave.

thanks,

I have the Suave version, and I like it alot!

I ordered the Spanish vigoroso a couple of days ago. I have the Italian version which I love; but the only thing I hate is its price $35 for a small bottle..ouch. HOG

The Spanish Floid came in today. Obie was dead on with his mentholated candy description.

I quite like it, and I'm glad I picked it up... Now I just need the Italian versions!

sounds like floid is like chips, you just can't have only one
