Thread: Amber Floid Aftershave

Hi all,
Got a sample of amber floid, liked the smell & so did the frau but didn't like the coating of powder on my face,does the floid blue do the same??? haven't been able to get a sample of that but i can get a full bottle although i've read it's getting rare due to it being discontinued.

I have a bottle of the Amber Floid and not really sure what you're meaning..I've yet to feel a powder coating on my face with its use
I love the stuff and SWMBO does as well

What do you mean by coating of powder is it just the way it makes your skin feel or does it leave a coating of powder on your face? I have both Amber and Blue and the Orange Spanish version the only thing different in them is the way they smell. When I first got the Spanish version it had a faint smell of baby powder but as time has passed I don't smell it anymore. My wife says the Blue has the powder smell but likes the smell of the Amber. It is to my understanding the Blue is to be discontinued.

once the aftershave dried and i looked in the mirror my face looked as if i had light talcum on.wet my finger & ran it up my chin & and you could see that there definitely was a coating on my face,loved them smell though.

Are you sure it wasn't dry skin from the alcohol as opposed to a powder coating?

I've never used it myself, but Catrentshaving was kind enough to bring his bottle and let me have a sniff I think I'll put it on my "must buy" list.

(Thanks Rob!)

honestly at first i thought it was dry skin,which i never get,it was like a white coating on my skin,i'll try it again but the coating kid of put me off it.

My other question could be where you got the sample from, meaning what type of container was it in or was there some residue in it?
I've used it quite a bit since and never noticed any residue so I'm kind of baffled. But I would have to agree with you, if any aftershave left a powdery residue on my face it would definately put me off as well.

came in a small trial bottle,bought about 7-8 different samples to try from connaught,used them quite a bit,good stock & prices & fast delivery.

I got to try the Floid Genuine (Amber) today and I enjoyed it very much.

i agree....floid amber is really a nice aftershave. once and a while some vendors and ebayers sell 100 ml decants of it if you want to try a smaller sized amount. google/ebay floid Decant and some come up for sale every once and a while.
