Baldessarini Nautic Spirit

A hidden gem if you want a different summer fragance (no citrus opening) with a non linear/flat smell. The opening is very aquatic and tropical, I got over all passionfruit/maracuya in that phase. Then start a nice sparkly ginger that reactivate the frangance with a creamy cardamom, kind of spicy stage. It still keeps the tropical feel and cardamom all the time but became more elegant and clean with the final musk/sandalwood till it fade. So a tropical-aquatic-woody/spicy-clean fragance, like being in a yatch achored by the pier of a tropical island.

I put 30 fragrances in my fridge in June. This one grew into my favorite. It's been cool this summer, so maybe it's luscious nature matched the weather. Not sure if I'd love this during a blisteringly hot summer.

Truly a fantastic fragrance! Fresh and fruity. Like a summer breeze on a tropical beach. One of my absolute favorites during spring and summer. I love the bottle design as well.

Got this today, sprayed it on my hand, now 2 hours later it smells very good, it does not smell cheap or generic to me, it has a warm fresh feel to it.

Baldessarini Nautic Spirit opens with a moderate projection of sweet fruity and oceanic accords. The passion fruit and mango are the two sweet fruity notes that are noticeable, the passion fruit is one step ahead and it is slightly more prominent than the mango. The seawater comes across as fresh oceanic breeze with a pinch of salt. The mid notes, curry leaf, cardamon, and ginger are the spicy accords, being the ginger the most noticeable of the three. The three base notes, musk, patchouli, and sandalwood are very shy, and, except for the sandalwood, they are overpowered by the fruity and spicy accords. The sandalwood adds a soft woody accord. The fragrance is relatively linear, the opening notes continue into the dry-down. Once Baldessarini Nautic Spirit has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a sweet fruity (passion fruit, mango) and oceanic (breezy and slightly salty) fragrance with spicy and soft woody accords. The fragrance feels casual, comforting, delectable, fruity, gentle, gourmand, inviting, mild, modern, natural, sweet, unisex, warm, slightly woody, and very pleasant.

A fragrance belonging to the aromatic-aquatic fragrance family. It is characterized by its fresh character, inspired by the atmosphere of the sea and sailing, reflecting the idea of escaping the daily routine for a sea adventure filled with freedom and relaxation. The mango note dominates the fragrance, but with a light, sweet, and receptive flavor. The seawater note adds a fresh, aquatic feel, evoking the sea breeze. Passion fruit adds a lively, slightly sweet, fruity touch. And a little bit of the scent of curry trees The rest of the notes are barely noticeable in the background. • Longevity: Slightly below average, ranging from 3 to 4 hours. • Sillage: Moderate, suitable for everyday use. • Suitable season: Ideal for spring and summer, thanks to its refreshing nature. • Suitable time: Suitable for morning and daytime use. • Bottle: Featuring an elegant, simple design that reflects luxury and masculinity. It is made of heavy glass with details inspired by the world of sailing, such as the Compass Rose engraved on the back. The colors used (blue and silver) enhance the nautical theme. • The packaging reflects a high quality inspired by shipbuilding materials such as wood, metal, and glass. Conclusion: I enjoyed wearing it when I purchased it and have actually worn it during my sea voyages, but it's not a fragrance I'd buy again.

Actually smells quite nice, more for someone over say, 25? Definately a slightly more mature, masculine aquatic/Fougere, casual but can be dressed up as well. Performance is on the low/moderate end. Starts off a bit "Generic" but becomes more interesting as it dries down bc of that nice, noticable-sandlewood base. TBH, Im not sure if I like it a lot, or if I think it's more "generic", and I've almost used the whole 2.5 oz bottle already!🤔. I've NEVER recieved a compliment for Nautic Spirit, but that may just be bc of the intimate sillage. Im actually wearing it again now after almost 6 months, and as I put my nose up to my arm where I sprayed, its smelling pretty darn nice! Its actually quite woody, musky and really pleasant. Anyway, I definatly don't feel its made a very big impression on me and so I wont be re-purchasing it, but again, it's NOT bad. A 6.5 outta 10 fragrance mainly bc of the poor performance. I suppose in the end, its pretty "Meh".

Baldessarini Nautic Spirit is a good summer scent that can stand up to extreme heat. I wore it today and the heat index got up to 108 degrees and Nautic Spirit performed well and smelled great. Yesterday, our temperature was almost the same at triple digits in heat index. While most fragrances don't hold up well in heat and humidity, Gianni Versace Man Eau Fraiche did exceptionally well just like Nautic Spirit did for me today. Bottom line is if you want a cologne that can withstand extremely hot and humid conditions, I can recommend 2 for you right now in Baldessarini Nautic Spirit and Gianni Versace Man Eau Fraiche.

On paper, this is very bright and sour fruits with a musky patchouli base and I can understand the previous reviews from others. On skin, this is all fresh pine with a familiar patchoulli base typical of Baldessarini scents (Night Vision, Black). I don't get the nautical reference. This could have been forest themed and green. This is a better performing Rochas L'homme Aromatic and Lalique L'Insoumis. Really good but quite confused!

I like it, it's understated enough to not be causing anyone any annoyance however I have got some compliments from people in close proximity (office, car etc). Sits well on my skin and is nice with one spray on your shirt/jacket Due to the fact that it is slightly unusual (it is fresh, warm, fruity, and spicy all at the same time) I would recommend trying before a blind purchase. Spring/Summer scent through and through

Of course this one is a perfume for the daytime and not really for going out at night. My opinion is, that it doesn't last really long but the smell is quite good. Unfortunately the duration of this one is really bad so I do not recommend this one. Its a good perfume if you think of the smell, but in the end it doesn't last long enough so its just a waste of money if you buy this one.

Blind Bought a bottle of this from Amazon for peanuts and was pleasantly surprised. A nice refreshing and slightly different summer time fragrance. Decent performance but you can also afford to overload with the sprays for the price. The perfect scent for everyday use when the weather heats up !

Definately a very pleasant, casual, very masculine Aquatic Fougere. Great for guys 25 years+. Moderate longevity/sillage. Ive never recieved a compliment, but I still really enjoyed wearing my now nearly empty bottle. Nothing mind-blowing, but nice for the $20 I payed for it at Ross.

Just got this and is quite nice; fruity, fresh, aquatic, woody, spicy. Not long lastic but very pleasant. Great vacation scent as well as office safe. Its cheap give it a try

Its definitely masculine. Id say for anyone over 30. Smells great. I grabbed it for $16 however even if purchasing for its going price it's still a good deal

A fresh, fruity, cheerful fragrance. A slight undercurrent of spices adds a bit of depth. Nothing amazing, but very pleasant and nicely presented.

Smells very synthetic but once dried on skin smells a little better

Fresh, masculine and friendly scent. Reminds me somewhat of the mango/fruity aspects of Polo Black, but in a slightly different direction. Prominent note (for me anyway) is clearly the mango, tweaked just a bit by a slightly sour passionfruit and that generic, synthetic "seawater" accord, all in good balance. Lurking somewhere behind all this, I do get an accent of spiciness -- I'd guess that's the cardomom and curry leaf, which does restrain Nautic Spirit from getting overtly adolescent in its fruity aquatic stylings. Projection is personal -- little more than a pleasant and polite skin scent. Longevity -- this is another one of those summer freshies you simply have to bathe yourself in to get any kind of longevity (or projection, for that matter). Overall, I really like the scent, but find the performance rather lacking. Inexpensive, though I'd still wish for a bit more punch for the price. Call it a "like" for me, but not a love.

I can't really put my finger on why, but this reminds me a lot of L'insoumis by Lalique, almost as if it's a fresh flanker of it. Doesn't make sense, though, because the notes are totally different. Maybe the curry tree smells like one of the notes in that? Who knows. Anyway, this a pretty decent scent. I was hoping I would like it more, though. The bottle is beautiful and the price is really good, which would've possibly put it in my "hidden gem" list, but unfortunately it's more in the "like but not love" category. The passion fruit can get a little cloying after a while. It's also a bit sweet, which is to be expected, but I probably would've liked it to be pulled back just a little bit. The sandalwood and curry notes are really interesting and nice, though. Performance isn't great. Becomes a skinscent after about 2 hours and is basically gone after about 4.

I have to update my previous take on this one. After having it for some time, it seems like this juice has changed somewhat. While I still get that whole mango+spice+sea thing in the beginning, there is a very distinct metamorphosis to Nautic Spirit as time passes. What I end up with now is a light, old-timey patchouli core, that teases at something like Guerlain Heritage, toeing that line between masculine and feminine. Still not too sure I love this, but I do respect it. It's no linear one note wonder.
