Parfums Bleu Limited Blue Stratos Aftershave 100ml Splash

Parfums Bleu Limited Blue Stratos Aftershave 100ml Splash is a long-running British men's classic — originally launched in 1975 by Shulton (the creators of Old Spice) and now produced under licence by Parfums Bleu. The traditional alcohol-based aftershave splash refreshes the skin after shaving while leaving the signature Blue Stratos scent: marine notes, citrus, rosewood and aromatic herbs over a clean musk-and-wood base. Familiar to a generation of British men from the iconic blue bottle with the white bird.

About Blue Stratos

Blue Stratos was created by Shulton in 1975 and quickly became one of the most popular aftershaves in the UK. After Shulton's original line was discontinued, Parfums Bleu Limited took on the licence to continue production, keeping the recognisable formula and packaging on British dressing tables. The aftershave remains particularly associated with the 1970s and 1980s for many wearers.

Who it's for

Blue Stratos suits men who wet shave in the traditional way and prefer a brisk, alcohol-based finish over a balm — particularly those who grew up with the scent and remember it from a previous generation. Best in autumn and winter, when the warm musk-and-wood drydown can develop, although the citrus opening keeps it usable year-round.

How to use

1. Cleanse and shave as normal; rinse the face thoroughly with warm water.
2. Pat the skin dry with a clean towel.
3. Splash a small amount of aftershave into the palms.
4. Pat across the cheeks, jaw and neck — avoid eyes and any nicks.
5. Allow a minute to settle; the alcohol opening will fade as the marine and woody heart emerges.
