    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 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.

    I am a Floïd fan since ever and it is the only after shave I use. I have both the genuine (amber) and blue. I like the genuine better and I use it also in my clothes sometimes.
    Floïd blue is good but, as for scent, I like the genuine better.
