Just putting it out there for any feed back...just looking for a new barbershop smell ..thanks
I never tire of Floid Blue. When I don't use it as an aftershave, I use it as a bodyspray. Very pleasant, light scent that lasts.
Floid blue is great for about a minute, then it starts to smell like a Doctor's office to me, not a fan. Try a sample first.
I like the blue, never tried the amber one.
I have three Floid aftershaves in my collection--Amber, Suave and Blue.
If you're looking for a barbershop fragrance like talcum powder I would recommend the Amber (The Genuine) or the Suave. They are the same in fragrance, but the Suave has more menthol in it.
To me, the Blue Floid smells like a lighter version of Aqua Velva Classic.
I had a bottle of the amber and liked it very much. Enough that it is gone. I'm eventually going to get another. Haven't tried the others.
I have Floid Blue and like it very much. I don't think it's a barbershop type scent, but it is powdery, and as others have said, it's somewhat like Aqua Velva, but better IMHO. It's good stuff.
Love my floid blue- my only problem with it is that the scent doesn't have much staying power- a few hours tops- ymmv.
I can smell the Floid Blue on myself all day long. It's not a strong scent and that's what I like about it. I hate those cloyingly sweet, over strong aftershaves or colognes that knock other people out when you are yards away.Quote:

Floïd blue is good but, as for scent, I like the genuine better.
Which one is the original Floid and what is the scent like?

I'm a huge Floid suave fan. It's menthol'y goodness is quite refreshing in the summer time.
I love amber. I use it everyday more as a face conditioner than a final aftershave. I find the scent wears off really quickly, so if something important is on I'll put something else on over it.
lately i have been using floid blue. i found a u.s. seller that had split the 400 ml bottle into smaller 100 ml sizes. i didnt want 400ml of any aftershave...i like to change them and the 100 ml bottle was perfect.
really a nice powdery type scent to it. even my young 6 yr old daughter said it smelled nice after i spritzed some on.
Floid Blue Baby! I love the stuff!
Floid Blue is great. As others have mentioned it is similar to Aqua Velva, which is awesome. They're in the same ball park scent wise. Since you're asking about Floid, I would say Floid amber is more barbershop-like I guess.
Much nicer than Aqua Velva to my nose. I can't tell any similarities.
Got my care package from West Coast Shaving today and got my Italian Floid !!! A huge bottle....and smelling GREAT !!!! Club man and Floid .....got it covered !!!!
You can't go wrong with Clubman or Floid Original...SWMBO loves the Floid Amber and I'm quite fond of it as well. It'll always be a staple in my selection of scents :)Quote:

The Floid gets the most use, especially now in the summer. It's just fabulous. I don't think it's particularly "healing" the way the Emeraude is, but it's got a great cooling sensation and the smell is terrific without being overpowering. The packaging for it is also first class. As I've gotten older, this becomes more important to me. It's a hefty substantial bottle with a bakelite top that means business. The opening in the bottle dispenses just the right amount so there's not much waste. Is it worth 40 bucks? I suppose if you can afford it, then it is. The 400ml bottle I've got now is about 40% full after about 4 months of use and while i don't use it every day, I've also given away a half dozen samples to friends.
Also tried the Floid Black when it came out and while there was this pleasant peaches/pears scent to it, there was also some other chemical note to the scent that I couldn't get past. Wore it at least 5 times and finally had to get rid of it. Others like it, so judge for yourself. Very different from the Blue.
anyone want to split some floid amber with me? i bought the 400 ml bottle but would split it with some people if you just want to try it.
100 ml bottles with atomizer top if someone wants to try it. Pm me for details.
Floid is my go to A/S at this time, I use Floid Black or A/S Balm my wife likes the smell of those. I have all flavors Floid and like them all the Amber has a sweet smell, the Blue has a powder smell, and the Spanish versions all but the Black have the same smell or that's what my nose tells me. I don't think you can go wrong getting a bottle.
I have a bottle of Floid Vigaroso. But I like menthol. Feels like ice on my face. It's so refreshing, especially this time of year. My wife says I smell like a barbershop when I wear it. But you can't go wrong with any of the Floid after shaves.
