    Default 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.

    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!)

    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.

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