    Default Italian Floid Blue vs. Spanish Floid Vigoroso

    For those who have tried both, I have and love the Floid Blue, it is my favorite aftershave, with Pinaud Clubman a close second (and I am not an "old" guy). How does the Spanish Floid Vigoroso compare? If a person likes the Blue, is it probable they will also like the Vigoroso? Are they similar or two entirely different products? Maybe I should stop asking and just pick up some Vigoroso and see firsthand? What are your thought? Thanks in advance.

    I wish I could compare the two for you but I use Vigoroso and really like it. I've not tried the Blue.

    I have the Italian Blue, and both the Spanish Suave and Vigoroso. I love them all in their own way. The vigoroso has a higher menthol content over the suave, although both with similar, sweeter scents compared to the blue. The vigoroso/suave have a traditional barbershop scent You certainly can love both and I tend to use the Spanish versions with my woody scented soaps in the main.

    I have tried the Italian Floid Blue and Genuine. The Genuine, or Amber, has a warm sweet scent. I imagine that the Spanish version has a higher alcohol content.

    The Genuine is slightly sweeter than the Spanish version with less menthol kick.

    Ok, so I just ordered Floid Vigoroso. I am interested to see how I like it.

    Thank you for the replies, that's what I was looking for. I am going to order some Vigoroso. I am betting I will like it, but if not for whatever reason, I will give it to someone. Thankgs again!
