Floid Blue EdT. To me, this EdT and its aftershave sibling are simply uncomplicated barbershop scents and sometimes that's all I need to put a smile on my face and start my day.
NeoXerxes, please correct me if I'm wrong about the Blue being a barbershop scent but, from when I was young, I strongly associate that smell with the final touch of a haircut where the barber would slap a bit of aftershave on the back of my neck. I used to love that and Floid Blue brings back that memory quite strongly.

Freddy, I mentioned on a fragrance review somewhere that "barbershop" fragrances are only "barbershop" because of associations. Many of these scents are regional and based on experience. For instance, while you had the experience of Floid Blue being applied by a barber, some in France might have had a light touch of chypre applied, while in Italy Proraso or an almond scented product might be more popular. People there would consider those scents "barbershop" more than Floid Blue. It's an associational thing lol . I happen to agree with you though. Floid Blue definitely reminds me of a barbershop.
I should also add that Myrsol Blue gives me a similar feel.
