The Cliffs of Moher's Dewy and Mossy Smell
Voyage by Nautica was one of the first batches of fragrances I bought online when I started getting more and more into fragrances. This scent is not a trivial journey or voyage. It will take you on a trip to a faraway land, and it has this cold green grassland, lake, summer vibe to it.
Unconventionally fresh, like a cool and crisp ocean breeze but not salty nor aquatic. So damn impressive and unique, it expertly captures the spirit of the ocean. For the sake of clarity, Voyage does not smell like the ocean, but notes such as green leaves, lotus blossom, and musk blend so smoothly together you will want to ride a boat along the coast when you wear this.
It is incredibly watery smelling yet without any calone and is one of the most fabulous wet scents I've ever smelled after CK Truth for men. Noteworthy, Voyage is practically unknown in Europe, and I have never met anyone who wore it. So this scent is unique here.

Voyage has a bold, masculine smell featuring a fusion of dewy moss and woody amber. It opens with crispy notes of fresh-cut apple and fresh green leaves. The green apple is not so healthy, ain't similar to Boss Bottled as an example, instead the green leaves dominate the opening with an aroma closely similar to cucumber peel. The lack of citrus fruits in this stage is a bit uncommon, yet the resulting accord is so dewy, wet, and fresh and gives a pleasant summer feeling. To me, it's more aromatic and floral than aquatic, but the green notes add it a lush, natural aquatic tone. There is also a slight metallic accord ain't as powerful as in Azzaro Chrome.

The heart possesses what is described as the sailcloth accord, which features hemp, air, and deep aquatic aromas, fused with drenched mimosa and water lotus. Here it starts to get a slender soapiness which is not from the sailcloth accord but, from the blossoms. The lotus flower is known for its soapy and powdery freshness. The best thing about this is that the soapy quality isn't quiet; to me, it's even more robust than the opening of the fragrance.

The warm, woody base is soft, and blends notes of moss, cedarwood, amber, and musk, which is excellent cause most aquatics with wooden bases tend to go overboard with moss and woods. The woody and soapy accords would give this fragrance an after the rain vibe to me if you were on a beach after it stopped raining. That is what it would smell like.

Overall, Voyage is filed as fresh, and there are no critical spicy notes. Yet, it has a very smooth aquatic aroma that makes it perfect for summertime daily wear., with moderate longevity and projection. Finally, I would say it is ageless despite being targeted as a teen scent. Come on, and it's just an excellent aquatic scent. I feel legit pulling that stuff, and I'm 50 something. I have many summer bottles in my collection, and sometimes I go back to it.

Voyage is another example where "best" does not imply expensively. Instead, there is an excellent Inexpensive fragrance for men available in the market, which you pay very fewer bucks and get high value for it. Bear in mind, and I am using the reformulated bottle with the plastic cap, which is made with lots of synthetic ingredients. Well, big surprises, perfumes are artificial, but Nautica Voyage does an excellent job of being a pleasant, mild, aquatic fragrance.

Good budget perfume
Nautica Voyage’s aroma is fresh and invigorating, thanks to the mix of natural elements like cedarwood and water lotus. But there’s so much more to this cologne than only that. The formula has top notes of green leaves, apple, and lotus and base notes consisting of cedarwood and amber. This balance of sharp yet musky accents makes for a finely balanced blend.Overall, this eau de toilette gives you a fruit-forward scent. The unique mix of natural elements also gives this fragrance an almost therapeutic effect (think aromatherapy relaxation). Cedarwood has a calming effect, while apples add sweetness. Given Nautica’s stellar reputation, it should come as no surprise that this fragrance is long-lasting. Expect a strong scent for about four hours after the first spritz. It will become more muted after that point — but you’ll still have a hint on you.
If you prefer scents that aren’t too weighty, this Nautica cologne is a great pick. The scent isn’t too overpowering, allowing you to wear this one whether you’re headed to the office, hanging at home, or — you guessed it — lounging on your boat. In short, it’s an all-rounder.

Love it! One of my most complimented summer fragrances
This smells like a classic marine scent, but more ... green (a bit weird to allocate a colour to a scent, but oh well).

I'd describe it as kind of a "walk through a forest along the coast". The green leaves and the flower notes take care of that mostly. The smell of green apple is also clearly noticeable, especially in the beginning (making it smell a bit sweeter for a while). When drying down, the marine smell emerges.

So in short: a clean, fresh floral marine scent (hence "aquatic floral") with a touch of green apple. Just be careful when spraying, because it's a bit of a sharp scent (especially the opening). On top of that, the bottle sprays twice when you press it all the way down (at least that's what mine does), so extra care is needed.

what's the reference point?
Maybe the true problem is that I don't understand why "aquatic" fragrances are considered intrinsically aquatic. Do they bear any more relationship to water than any other particular style fragrance style? I believe it's the triple whammy of conditioning: 1) This category of scent has been used in so many masculine shower, shave, and grooming products that men have been conditioned to affiliate them with water. 2) Water, water (and glossy advertising) everywhere. We’ve grown numb to the models’ antiseptic sweat of leisure and their stoic tolerance of the yachting life, but the water has seeped into our brains. 3) These aquatic scents are composed without any of the seamy bits that have made classical perfumes nuanced and suggestive: nothing animalic or indolic, no funky musk. No living reference point. Hence the fascinating marketing that has sold us on the scent of the ubiquitous but odorless water. Aquatic? Marine? Ozonic?! This word is one of the greatest ciphers in perfumery and advertising, proving the point that through careless repetition, a word that has no fixed significance gains a sweeping vagueness of reference at the same time that it loses any precise meaning. If I sound snobbish, I apologize. I’m simply in awe at the power of the marketing.

I found Nautica Voyage for quite cheap, hazily remembered something about it, looked up Luca Turin's review and then bought it. I love Roucel's Missoni, so wanted to try what Turin had likened to Missoni in what I had hoped would be that unicorn, that transgression of gender: the pretty floral for men. I can vaguely smell the similar componentry to Missoni, but it’s nothing compared to Voyage's derivation of Cool Water.

Voyage is Cool Water, minus. Minus the metal astringency that balances the non-specified fruit. Minus boldness. Minus refinement. Minus a nice smell.

Derivative not subversive, Nautica Voyage is one of the hordes of clones riding Cool Water's coat tails that Turin and most other perfume critics refer to at some time or other.

Much has been said about Voyage over time, fact is : I keep coming back to it every summer and have done so for the last couple of years.
I dunno about reformulations, but this review is for the older bottle with a metallic cap. But how does it smell? Well, without going into a scientific explanation you could call it a blue, aquatic, fruity and slightly salty scent. Nothing outstanding, but fresh without the usual citrus starting component and very uplifting. Opening with cantaloupe melon and apple, after a shorter floral performance in the heart (lotus maybe?) it stays linear most of the time, but later on it gets a little deeper with some (laundry like) musk with calone and woods appearing.

I can see that this scent is one that divides opinions here. Personally, I do get the slightly synthetic vibe this gives off, but honestly it still smells really fresh and with an exceptional performance for at summer cheapie, (I consistently get about 8 hours of performance with about 4 hours of projection) I find it really hard to be slagging this fine composition by Maurice Roucel which is also a steal for the price.

Clean, fresh and specifically tuned for warmer spring and summer days. This is a Voyage worth taking!

A praised scent by many influencers. Now I got to smell it myself and indeed, it is an amazing fresh-aquatic scent with a nice dry-down.
