Blue Stratos100ml Eau De Toilette

Its a shame you can only attach a photo and not upload a scratch-and-sniff ;-)I'm old enough to have worn Blue Stratos way back in I think the early to mid 1980s. I don't commonly wear any kind of cologne / scented aftershave / EDT these days, very rarely even when going out. And I find many fragrances quite overpowering and even unpleasant. However Blue Stratos is a lovely light and fresh scent that I do find really soft and pleasant. The current iteration isn't quite as I remember it but its still very clean and fresh. I think its lost some of its cutting citrusy sharpness and seems to have more of a pronounced 'talcum powder' scent that is perhaps based on iris/orris notes. Its comforting and clean, but not as sharp and 'cold' as it used to be. I think for the price this is ridiculously good value and outperforms fragrances costing ten times the price. If you buy with your nose and ignore brand snobbery, this really is hard to beat.

This is one of a number of fragrances that became cheap stereotypes and the butt of jokes in the 70s and 80s, like Brut and Old SpiceThing is, it's 40+ years now since they were at their peak and they've aged well.They were popular once for a reason, they smelled good.This is a particularly "manly" smell. Not sweet, just brash and lemony. Reminds me a lot of the much trendier and expensive Acqua Di Parma.It's dirt cheap, smells good and lasts. Nobody knows it's an 80s stereotype by their nose alone. It either smells good or it doesn't. This smells good.

This smells very nice, not sure the smell lasts very long but seems good value for the price, i like it a lot.

Just a very mellow pleasant smell that doesn’t over power and is very pleasing to the senses - and who would have thought the aftershave I bought for my father when I was a kid becomes the one I start wearing now as I head into my well let’s just say later years of life no need to put a number on it. Lot of expensive brands out there Blue Stratos holds itself up against many of them and is a fraction of the price and Blue Stratos will be 50 I think next year - how many expensive aftershave brands last that long - they are a blink and Blue Stratos is a continuum - sorry all the above just means I like it - thanks

Smells very strongly, like something your unvle would wear at a wedding

Love this aftershave, will buy more when it runs out

Love it.Takes me back to my teen days.

Unique smell.Scent:Very adequate
