Has Blue Stratos aftershave changed?

[Peter Mount]

I bought a bottle of Blue Stratos aftershave recently. The previous time I used it was back in the late 1970s or early 1980s.

I got the impression it was somehow different now although I can't be sure. It still smells nice. My friend has the same impression about it smelling different now.

Has there been a change in Blue Stratos over the years. I bought mine here in Melbourne Australia.

Thanks.

Blue Stratos is owned by various companies, it could be it has been changed locally. Key Sun Laboratories have owned the Australian rights since 2006, Indigo in South Africa and Parfums Bleu in the rest of the world via local distribution.

It is a nice scent. I only have just recently started using it, so can't say if it has changed or not.

It was very popular in the early to mid 80s in the UK but it is rather difficult to find them nowadays unless order over the internet (same with Denim).

I recently found a shop selling them for £2 per 30ml bottle but not in the large bottle. Larger 100ml bottle should be cheaper but since they do not sell them that means the only place to get them is via the internet for around £6 per 100ml, but then you need to pay for the delivery cost of £3.50 which means it is more expensive.

Just picked up a 50ml bottle while on holiday in India for 150 rps. This local stuff smells different to the bottle i sampled back home in Ireland. More depth, and a longer lasting fragrance.

Any chance the Indian manufacturers are producing a higher quality scent to the rest of the world?
