Blue Stratos (1976)
by Parfums Bleu

This is for the newest version of Blue Stratos...

Parts of Old Spice grafted to parts of Brut and virtually nothing else. And there ain't nothing wrong with that. Oddly enough, it seems to feel more dated than either OS (which I don't feel is particularly dated) or Brut (which I feel is), but it is undeniably a beacon of affability and honesty - It is an aftershave and it smells good. If you like fougere's and want to get into orientals, this is a superb gateway frag.

Longevity is around 5 hours, which is very good for an aftershave. The bottle is a minger but it's so cheap, who cares? Bravo!

A blue collar fougere that remains efficient despite its limitations. The brash alcoholic beginning is swiftly superceded by a bright aromatic episode, that is moderately long lasting. This linear fragrance is primitive stuff, but it does have a naive charm that justifies its popularity.Not a thumbs up, but very close.

I was all ready to come here and simply say "British Old Spice" for this greatstuff... only to find out that it was originally made by Shulton. I have some of the aftershave which is a liquid not a gel/balm. I prefer balms but this liquid seems to be a lotion of sorts and does not dry this skin. It smells wonderful: lemony Old Spice, a light oriental. And very "manly" as the girls say.

There's little point describing this scent - it's ubiquitous and is still being sold everywhere in Australia. Although I have a big bottle of the EDT, for some strange reason, I've always been more partial to the slightly weaker version in the underarm deodorant cans.

Mmm, I agree with some aspects of the reviews here. But I am affraid to say that I DON'T love it, but I DO like it.

It smells simple, smooth and clean, but more smooth than anything else.

Excellent training wheels fragrance. Nice. Good price, too. I think this was the first fragrance I ever owned (or was it Tabac? hmmm...)

Has a very slight, muted boozy quality. Very acceptable.

No way that it could possible offend anyone...
