Thread: floid question...

I own all three versions of the Floid--the Genuine, Suave and Blue--and like them all.

The Genuine's fragrance reminds me of baby powder, the Suave somewhat like licorice and the Blue like a light version of Aqua Velva.

Spanish Floid has always been the hardest for me to describe when someone asked what it smelled like before committing to a purchase of a 300ml bottle. The Spanish comes in two versions--Suave and Vigoroso. Both have the same fragrance but the menthol kick in the vigoroso is much stronger. I quit stocking the suave a while back because people here in the states definitely prefer the vigoroso--about 3 to 1. There is also a blue version of the Spanish Floid which I have offered but it remains a challenge for my supplier to get. The Blue Spanish has a fragrance very similar to the Italian Blue but it also has skin mending properties that rival those of Swiss Pitralon.

Hope that helps a bit!

Hi everyone,
I post from Italy and yesterday morning i had a bad surprise. I went to the barber shop to buy the usual "Genuine Amber Floid" Aftershave 400ml bottle and, though i knew the label had changed, i found out ythat the fragrance itself was different, less alchoolic and less flavor with me. Is there anybody else who had the same? I am very disappointed beacause i use genuine floid since i was a boy and i dislike the new smell. Anyone?

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.

Floid Blue reminds me a lot of Aqua Velva, the bottle says it's from Italy. I was under the impression they stopped selling Floid Blue. Kinda' want to try the Floid Black, don't know if it's Spanish or Italian.
