I think it's a brilliant barbershop scent. My only regret is the scent fades quickly for me, even for an aftershave.It’s an European Barbershop scent. Talcum, Spices, Herbs & Menthol

To me, Floid - The Genuine, is a classic barbershop scent. What that means to me is it's a clean, masculine scent that I can imagine being applied by a barber following a straight razor shave. It reminds me of barbershops when I was a kid. That is opposed to, let's say, a modern, trendy men's cologne from a designer fragrance house.
I just got a 400ml bottle. I like it so far. Reminds me of Lilac Vegetal right now.
I bought a 400ml bottle of The Genuine from a Spanish seller on eBay. Italian bottle shipped from Spain. I want to say it was about $30 + $6 shipping. Took four weeks to arrive. Gorgeous bottle! I’m not a fan at this point but I’ve kept it, hoping it will grow on me. I can’t begin to identify the notes in it. I’ve read them and it’s just not what my nose smells. I like 4711 aftershave best right now. The scent doesn’t stick with me but it’s nice.
Thanks. Had it on my shopping list, but now I think I'll pass.

i'd be happy with 1/4 of that. I wish there was someone on here that had a business that would take orders and not expect 200% profit or something like a group buy.
You're not going to find 400ml for anywhere near that sort of money, even if you buy it from the city where it is manufactured. It is a little under 20€ for 400ml in most reasonable European retailers. So expect a decent hike for shipping, assuming you can find one willing to ship alcohol abroad.

No your right. I did just order me the 400ml it was $36 shipped from Spain, we'll see. Maybe if i dont like it i'll make someone a great deal on here but i'm sure i'll love it.
Who did you find willing to ship it internationally? I keep a list:
EU Retailers willing to ship Alcohol-based products overseas
There are a couple of retailers in the Americas that seem to be willing and able to ship aftershaves and other alcohol based products overseas (Smallflower and Italian Barber are the two that I have used). Are there any EU based retailers willing to do the same? Gifts & Care stopped doing it a...

Pasteur Pharmacy in NYC carries it. There are ways to save money, but you have to wait for a sale. They have 20% or 25% off sales on some holidays. Other times, they put items on clearance. For my orders, shipping was included at no charge as long as the total order was $35 or more. That's not difficult if you buy a few other things at the same time.
Put all that together and you would get a 400ml of the Floid for around $28-30. Plus, it would be shipped from a USA store and arrive in a few days.
Floid the genuine was or is the best scented aftershave I’ve had the pleasure of using. Unfortunately for me, I had an allergic reaction using it.
So now all my aftershaves are unscented.
It reminded me of barbershops (I live in Europe) and some how also of hair salons from when I was little. Just and old fashioned scent but somehow not dated.

This was the latest version? They did change the formula completely for the latest one.
Also you could try Varon Dandy for a similar scent if Floid doesn’t agree with you at all.
I got it last year(2023) for Christmas so I think it was the latest edition.
But thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check it out
