Zodiac Stratos

THE PICTURE SHOWING HERE IS NOT THE RIGHT VERSION, BUT THE GREY BOTTLE INSTEAD. Aside, nice fresh and fruity but not overly sweet opening, with a interesting smoke-ish/dry note that reminds me of earthy vetiver with a dark wood, not oud-stinky, but not for younger crowd. Develops well on skin, pleasing well rounded dry down, more woody and elegant, it has something very captivating. 8-10 imo, but, since i bought it in 15 usd, 9.5/10!!!

edit 7/15/25 Fragrantica has now updated the picture and notes to reflect the correct fragrance which is now the YSL Y elixir clone

I bought the whole Zodiac line since they were cheap and so far Stratos is the only one I've really used. It just smells like high end shower gel, simple, nothing very sophisticated but I like it. Very fresh. Costing something under 20€, I'd easily buy it again.

Is it just me or are most UAE scents overrated tap water? I've noticed some Gulf Orchid, Lattafa, Khadlaj, RVL brands and Paris Corner all soooo weak! This stuff I got on sale but regularly was quite a bit of money...and for what? Literally any dollar-store scent for several, several bucks less would smell stronger and more unique. Almost smells like old pennies in rusty water. It's so mild that a hundred squirts won't get anyone including you to notice it. If all of Paris Corner's products are this watery, count me out.

This is not a good one. Reading the scent pyramid, it has some summery notes (ginger, bergamot etc.) but I doubt it would be wearable in warm weather. The musk together with the patchouli create a very pungent smell that take over all the other notes completely which makes it unbalanced and hard to wear. Unfortunately, it's one of the worst clones i've ever smelled. I'll return to it later and see if I change my mind. Three months later, and it's still totally sickening. Avoid it like the plague. The Zodiac line has good scents though; Zodiac Solmaris is at least a thousand times better and I love that one, but this one... Totally rancid

Hi, I have both Zodiac (Grey Bottle) and Zodiac Stratos (Blue Bottle). Now, I haven't had the good fortune of having tried Blue Talisman. All I can say is both of these scents are quite similar on all 3 levels, just that Stratos is a quite a lot musk heavy throughout its wear. The somewhat skanky musk hovers on top of every facet of this wearable summer freshie. This makes it more of an evening wear and more apt for like spring wear. Some people may like the heaviness of this profile. And as mentioned above by CamiBar&Beverages, its Not for the Youth. You need to have a mature and developed nose for Z-Stratos. Whereas, Zodiac - the Grey Bottle is free of this heavy skank and so it makes this one a perfect Summer Freshie. Enjoyable for a daily summer wear. Yes, the projection and lasting on both of these fragrances is very good. Value for Money!

same vibe as Irish spring soap. clean manly and earthy and not sweet. Idk what its duping says its YSL Y elixir I dont remember Y elixir having this vibe but if I resmell it I will update this review. easy to wear clean non sweet vibes def not for everyone but its nice fr

Not blue talisman clone. Some of u need to stop reviewing period. You are misleading people into buying things they do not want.
