Blue Stratos Aftershave 100 ml

Lovely aroma and it smells amazing on my boyfriend. Would recommend

I was using it 30 years ago and was happy to find it online ! Thanks one of the fragrance at a very reasonable price .

I remember the advertisements on TV… sea birds flying high, a man hang gliding, rugged guy slapping Blue Stratos aftershave on his face and woman caressing him. The men always seemed “smart casual” and lived a life slightly out of reach.What do you mean that was fifty years ago? I’m going to have that life right now by liberally applying Blue Stratos!As a very popular product during the 70s and 80s, I was quite keen to try Blue Stratos again as part of my quest to accumulate various aftershaves of yesteryear. This particular one is inexpensive (unlike the accompanying lifestyle!) and comes in a fairly distinctive if not particularly exciting blue bottle with the sea bird logo.It has a fresh smell which falls somewhere between Old Spice and Brut… fewer spicy notes than Old Spice but not quite as fresh and punchy as Brut. It is quite refreshing and cooling on the face and neck after shaving and the scent lingers a reasonable amount of time for an aftershave (perhaps getting on for four hours). There is less sting from this aftershave than some others.The aftershave is part of a range of Blue Stratos products which includes a shower gel, a body spray and an eau de toilette. Combining them might allow you to smell like the 1970s or 1980s that much longer.Back in the day, there was a time that this was one of the few aftershaves that I owned, alongside Insignia. You didn’t necessarily get to choose the ones that you got for Christmas but I do have a familiarity and fondness for this one and am glad to have reacquainted myself with it.It doesn’t quite hold up to some of the other classics such as Old Spice or Tabac and in the modern era doesn’t have the nuance and complexity of some of the more recent fragrances. However, it was good for its day and I think still has a place as a fresh and pleasing scent for general use. But I still haven’t got that lifestyle they promised me!

Yes the real McCoy, takes me back in time just sniffing it. High Karate is next on my list of 's scents

Not sure if its the strongest smelling or if it lasts but it's OK for the price.

Wife tells me it smells good

I havent seen this since I was a young man and loved it then great memories.I tried this again and still good seems to be mail order only now but ok.

Smells lovely, not expensive but fragrance fades quickly
