Nautica Sunset Voyage

Nautica is one of my favorite houses and I have all the releases (except Latitude/Longitude; of which I still have the conditioning shampoo. The body lotion is/was fantastic a true classic scented MENS lotion and the cologne was also quite special, sadly now discontinued) All the ancillaries I have for most of the other releases are of very high quality. When I smelled NSV at my favorite fragrance counter I liked it but...not enough to buy a 100 ml bottle at full price. Its a shame so many seasonals and flankers usually only come in 100-125 ml bottles. I waited until it showed up at tha Discount stores and got a full sized 100 ml spray for a 1/5 of retail! Whatever I had on that day had worn down and by the time I got to the car and got it out I put it on and (Heavenly music playing) it was worth the wait... The citron ( a once widely used green citrus fruit also called "cedrat") and aquatic beginning was nice but sort of shallow ( this is also all that I got sampling it at the frag. counter and throwing away the teststrip) but about 15 to 20 minutes later the car started to fill up with the most massive lotus flower note that was deepened and sweetened by sensual freesia nectar that has changed my opinion of that flower completely, this was not the overpowering sweet volume on 11 flower so popular in candles and body products in the 80s, no, this was a seductive siren of a flower luring me on to the light woody and very beachy base that reminded me of the time of day when the sun is just sinking below the horizon amidst flaming red, orange and yellow clouds smeared across the sky by the Powers That Be. What a voyage...the only thing missing was the bonfire... The dry woods, the massive but very REAL smelling flowers along with the citrus-aquatic note opening can come of as somewhat feminine; however, it is not unpleasant...like a seaside flower garden releasing its most powerful scents just as eveing fades and night spreads her wings across the sky... Sillage: OK, gets greater later Longevity: Super Overall: 4.5/5 Even though this is marketed as a MANS fragrance I see no problem with women wearing it and think it should have been a unisex release. Scent is a deeply personal thing, I believe, and it should not to be regulated by the folks in research & development...Try it, it might surprise you. You might surprise yourself...

My mom got me this back ‘08-‘09. Wore it from time to time. It’s very nice. Definitely the Voyage DNA, but much sweeter and deeper. Still have half the bottle. It has macerated a ton and oxidation has congealed some of the material causing little floaties. The writing has largely rubbed off of the front of the bottle but the stuff still smells great. Makes me remember my mom. Gonna get a love from me!

Really hard to find but if you can honestly do not get it. Payed 200$ for this bad boy at 70% filled. Not worth every penny. If this was still like 30-40 USD then yes I'd buy again but the price NOW doesn't justify it. Its like a floral but like kinda a floral you'd find when you pick up a flower and smell it. Its good otherwise besides the price though, 8/10

nattoline and soleroc, I agree- this lovely fragrance has a very appealing smoky quality- it is subtly floral and animalic, and just exquisite- I definitely don't think this is an aquatic scent-

Hello All, Am I the only one that thinks that there is DEFINITELY more depth and complexity to this fragrance than what is posted? I get some smokiness/tobacco AT THE TOP!! I love this one. I love most of what Nautica has put out even though most people are biased, claiming that there whole entire line of frags are petty clones of each other. I completely disagree and have actually taken the time to get to know each one individually. Again, this one is great! I would even use it at night and also into the late fall months, due to the smokiness that I get from it. Sunset Voyage is great! Thanks all, and be good!
