Blue Stratos

Epic Journey Into the Bottled Yonder, 237 ------------------------------------------------------- Purchased mid-2019 Sprayed this 5 times at lower chest, 5 times rear of neck, 5 times front of neck. Need some staying power today and also something familiar and not brutally offensive. It sure has been a while and I still love it. Powdered citrus year round day and night good old-fashioned fun. This must have been more manly back in the day because all scents were more straight forward and basic, including the expensive stuff, that shortly after it became possible and acceptable for teenagers to wear. Smelling like your dad USED TO BE COOL. I know my brother loved my dad's Kouros and Paco Rabanne original and that's what he started with. Used each one for over a year, and that was a testament to how cool our fathers used to be. What the fuck happened to us? You've all been brainwashed by tiktok to hate everything on command, starting from things and people of the past. Stop that, it's silly. Anyway Blue Stratos must be within easy reach of any man and teen, this is now such a boy-ish scent it's endearing to whoever needs or uses it. I get so distracted by cheap niches and expensive discontinued crap that I forget where I came from and need to come back from time to time to appreciate the lot and the journey I went on to get where I am and how I'm so privileged to be venture beyond my old budget limits. Come home, boys. Batch: P090816 which would mean "produced 8 September, 2016".

Epic Journey Into the Bottled Yonder, 020 ------------------------------------------------------- 100mL EDT purchased mid-2019 Had the deodorant for a while in 2016 and/or 2017. Eventually found out it's actually an EDT after I last ran out, and after that eventually reprogrammed my mind computer that it's a real scent and not a refreshing deo. Holy shit is this good, one of the strongest dumb reachers of all. Powdery, blue, strong but somehow inoffensive. Not too nasty like deodorants become. Basically manly. I had the Key Sun Laboratories, and the EDT turned out to be by Key Sun too. Lasts forever, I still have my first bottle of Blue Stratos. Last I remember this isn't in the chemists where I am. Please somebody clone this into an amplified, hard-hitting version. It's not good enough honestly, used to be way better back in ye olden days.

My father is far from a style trailblazer. The man puts on jeans for special occasions en lieu of his jogging pants, but I digress. One thing I'll give him credit for. In an era when seemingly everyone around him gravitated to Paco Rabanne's Pour Homme (most of my uncles and his friends still wear that one) Dad kept it original and went for this stuff. I used to steal a bit from him here and there in my VERY early teens before I was gifted with a bottle of Stetson. I still remember the smell of Blue Stratos. It was like a young smelling fougere, if that makes sense. I've been casually searching online for some and it seems to have been discontinued. Although the odd time I find that it was for sale it was incredibly cheap so that gives me some hope. If you can get your hands on some, absolutely apply it. ESPECIALLY if it's an older bottle.

Wow for a $7 perfume it beats the over rated $15 nautica voyage from head to toe. It beats Davidoff cool water. Well to be fair it beats most designer fragrances priced in the $35 mark for either or all longevity projection and pleasantness and wearability as anyone can wear this at any age. Blind buying is safe except for the overly trendy people might not like it (I mean those people who tend to buy things either just because of the hype or prefer something odd smelling or even overly synthetic then need to stay away from this almost natural smelling classic). Blending/layaring this with severa! natural ingredients or even other perfumes could effortlesly transform this to a $100+ nich perfumes category!

Whenever I smell this fragrance, I think of a guy that is living in the 70's. He wakes up, gets ready to go out with his friends at the beach, but before leaving, he takes a bottle of Blue Stratos in his bag. When the friends meet, they hop in one of their hippie vans and head straight to the beach. The weather there isn't too hot, rather sunny, warm and windy - perfect time to give a few sprays of Blue Stratos! He sprays himself, grabs a surfboard and runs straight towards the wawes. That's what I think about this juice and even though it's nothing more than just a fragrance with some history these days, it's always fun to let your imagination run wild!
