Nautica Voyage Men's Spray, 3.4oz

Yeah, I know. It's standard stuff in 2025... Honestly, the first time i smelled this- back when my favorite of the line was Nautica Blu (the original 90s version, not Blue Sail), I remember being massively confused by the lack of sweet, laundry musks that so characterized Nautica's other blue scent.. Funny how times change.. Now it's the last vestige of the once great (or at least decent- I'm prepared to admit to nostalgia, i wore the original Nautica chypre all throughout the 90s) fragrance portfolio of Nautica. It's the only one to last all day for me, to have an interesting, but certainly appealing, scent. As aquatics go, this is like the last one that hasn't been reformulated to death and yet i think it's still interesting. I used to compare it to Versace pour homme, and i find there are similar aspects to the way they wear- Versace is more complex (also twice as expensive)- there is an odd rose note right at the heart of that fragrance. I actually wear Voyage more.. It lasts longer, it holds against high heat better. The bottle is fine, not great. But despite the noise online surrounding this fragrance - the love, the hate- i find it timeless. Maybe that's why the brand has reformulated the other two tentpoles to death but left this one alone. I have little bottles of Nautica, Nautica Blu and Nautica competition, all great. I haven't garnered the courage to try the revamped Nautica classic. All that said, this is the only one they didn't mess with and it's easy to see why. I can't imagine a scenario in which this scent wouldn't work.. maybe deep winter. I bet it'd be fine even then.
