Amazing drydown with spices/woody notes. Projection 4-5hrs Sillage 2mts Stay on skin 7-9hrs.

A drugstore classic from an age gone by. This is about as old as I am and defined masculine freshness in the mid 70s. Best known for that blue bottle and seagull logo, it's kinda hard to aquire now. Originally released by Shulton in 1974, there is no perfumer credited with its creation, and it's passed through various companies over the years. I still like to break this one out every now and again for a touch of barbershop vibes. Might this be the original bluey? The scent was marketed with imagery of hang gliding & the ocean, embodying the 1970s ideal of the outdoorsy, adventurous man. Its incredibly clean, like a highend grooming kit from a vintage barbershop. It’s manly without being heavy or overbearing. It transitions from zesty citrus to a warm, woody base. Like a lighter, more wearable version of Kouros or a fresher take on Old Spice. It opens with a sharp, energizing burst of Lime, Lemon & Bergamot. The heart is a classic herbal blend of Lavender, Geranium, & Patchouli, which gives it that barbershop feel. The base is a lingering warmth of Musk, Oakmoss & Cedarwood, which maintains its masculine, darker dry down. As an Eau de Toilette its longevity is more like a splash cologne. You can expect 60 to 90m of good projection after which the scent bubble shrinks right back to a skin scent. Total skin time is about 5 hrs. Great for daytime wear, gym, or casual outings. Blue Stratos is a time capsule. It’s the perfect choice for someone who wants a masculine, dramatic, fresh scent that doesn't rely on modern trends like vanilla or heavy spice. A must for any collection My Rating 7/10 Scent 3 Longevity 2 Sillage 1 Y/N 1

Chilling at home today. I sincerely can’t remember if I ever wore this one before, I think not. However, I’m impressed. This is a creation of Olivier Cresp, and smells amazing. People compare it with Dior Fahrenheit, and I can feel the resemblance without the strong “gasoline” nuance, but just at the opening. It opens very fresh and clean, the citruses come across smoothly along with a bit herbal, soft powdery floral and sweet nuances. As it dries down the woody and earthy accords gives body and depth to the blend without darkening the aroma. This is an easy to wear, signature worthy, every day, office, and gym scent. It has moderate projection and longevity.

Good morning gentlemen. I decided to give this another go. 6 sprays instead of 2-3 as I did yesterday. Let’s see if it will last longer than 4-5 hours 🤞

Wearing a decant for the first time of Himalaya by Creed, the opening is fresh and citrusy, then turns oriental with the sandalwood at the heart, ending with that powdery & musky base. I really enjoy this one, it’s very well blended, perfect for spring/summer & a bit fall, more for the daytime but I can see this one as a good year round use. Easily a signature scent, perfect for the office/professional environment, casual and for any occasion. I’ve read & watch that doesn’t have good longevity and projection is decent for the first 2 hours, then turns into a skin scent. Hope you have a good Sunday Gents!
