Thank you for your always good and thorough reviews and thank you for reviewing something people like me actually can afford to buy. Many greetings from Denmark.
Either my mother, or elder brother bought me a gift set of Blue Stratos, way back in the late 70s, early 80s. Memory lane Kellan . This is one I wóuld have never thought of again . Your right about the talcum powder smell . I did like it back then . Wow, memories .😊
The word Stratos means Army in Greek! why use flash packaging, that puts the retail price up, beyond the average man? I have brought it here in NZ, I used to have a full bottle of 50mL of the aftershave until someone stole it in March 2015! I loved it, as my dad used to have a bottle. Oh that's right he gave it to me, as his father gave it to him as a gift after my sister was born _(1974)_ When Blue Stratos first came out on the market!
Awesome review! I usually blind buy stuff you recommend because we have similar tastes! I just picked up a bottle of this! Can't wait to smell it! Yesterday my scent of the day was Lomani Pour Homme EDT and I really liked it! Thanks for the recommendation on that one too!
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey I'm trying to find one which smells like the opening of Denim Original aftershave not EDT.. just bought Drakkar Noir as it's meant to be similar.. any others you recommend? Aramis/Moustache/Polo Green?
You forgot to mention that this. Fouguere was made by Shulton i had once when i lived in Jersey back in the 70,s.Thanks for the presentation.Greetings from Puerto 🇵🇷 Rico.
Strange that I've never tried this one, but I don't really see it much in drug stores up here. I do like the name though. Sounds like a car from the early 80s. 😂 Or a rocket. 🚀
I first tried this back in the early 80s..liked it..remember it as marine on top with a powdery dry down with decent performance. Tried it again about 10 years ago and it was not the same. Harsh chemicall opening and an even worse dry down. Even at a cheap price..try before buy.
I have a new version and a vintage version, the vintage is a bit stronger, the new one is great also , I do prefer a vintage version if you can find it .
I struggle a bit with Blue Stratos. I really like its take on a an airy clean scent with lots of citrus, but there's an undertone of something cinnamon-y, which I absolutely hate in any fragrance. It may not exactly be cinnamon, but there's a hint of almost sweet spiciness of some sort. Do you get hints of that? It's difficult to put my finger on but I hope you get what I'm on about 😅
@@ScentsOfSouthJerseyi had 2 vintage bottles. sold 1 and none gone bad. thats the real shulton the current its another fragrance.they made 2 or 3 updates until they reach to this current version. in my opinion if theire not able to keep the same formulation just discontinue the fragrance. easy.

Scent memory is a real thing !!

Lomani pour Homme is so good for the price
How was it ?👍
@@spangledsky777 I haven’t gotten it yet. Should be here soon. :)
Lomani is for sure a banger
This brings back memories, my dad used to wear it. Nice stuff and I remember it being quite strong.
This one is very nostalgic for me. Got a gift set back in the 90’s, and wore it for a bit. Even the new formulation, it transports me back in time.
That’s always awesome when a scent brings back memories
Its a classic, love the design and blue bottle, hope you do more classic cheapies like Denim , Hai Karate, Mandate 👍
@@davidGPS95 mandate and denim have reviews ! Love both of them
I bought stratos, denim and hai karate for 18... They all disappointed to be honest

I think I did mention that in the beginning of the video but I may have forgotten idk lol
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Thanks Mike !
You welcome keep up the good work GOD BLESS 🙏

The name is great right lol
Oi bruv’, thank you for the video, fantastic as usual. 👌🏻
Thank you for watching!

Ehh it’s a clean freshie to me def cheap though lol
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey ..what's your Mercari page?..looking for Calvin.
Great review Kelan 👏👏👏
Thank you !!
Happy Friday
👍🏻
I recently picked up Blue Stratos for only £3.49 for 100ml eau de Toilette,😂
If only all Fragrances was so cheap
I have a new version and a vintage version, the vintage is a bit stronger, the new one is great also , I do prefer a vintage version if you can find it .
Got one but it was half skunked, smelled great from the bottle but when I wore it the smell was super pissy
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey yeah that happened to me with a vintage eau savage , also a paco sport they turned bad . Lucky this one is still good .
Never tried it but I’m getting Aqua Velva Ice Blue vibes from this. Is it close to that?
Yeah I’d say that’s a good comparison
I find this one is a bit meh. I don't mind the fresh, slightly aquatic opening but I don't think it meshes well with with the talc that follows.
Totally agree it’s a baby powder bomb 💣 in the dry down.
Yeah it’s an average drug store scent, the slight blue Aquatic is the only stand out

Hmm I don’t get cinnamon honestly
Hey where's me new video at, what's with the slacking? Geez.
I love a lot of classics, but this one is terrible. No redeeming qualities whatsoever.
😂😂😂 I’ve felt that way before about other classics
I had after shaving lotion in my college days. I liked this
It’s super clean
Dont mind getting this if u dont find the shulton version. the current one has nothing to do with the original vintage musky slightly animalic.
I got a 50ml vintage but it was semi skunked, smelled like piss when you wore it
