Nautica Voyage

For $15-$20, there is no reason that this fragrance shouldn't be in everyone's collection. Even as a fragrance snob, in my opinion, Nautica Voyage does exactly what it sets out to do which is be a perfectly pleasant aquatic scent that absolutely no one could possibly dislike, and it does it better than most. People talk about reformulations all the time, but the bottle I just picked up a few days ago smells stronger than what I remember, and the atomizer is surprisingly beastly as well. I sprayed it on my shirt this morning. Changed into my work clothes. Came home after work and put on the same shirt. It still smells like I just sprayed it. Does it smell the most natural? No. It's pretty synthetic, but smelling synthetic doesn't mean it smells bad. Most candy bars you buy at a gas station are filled with synthetic ingredients, but that doesn't mean they don't taste amazing. In terms of notes, what I pick up is a really juicy, almost candied watermelon/kiwi/green apple type of accord that dominates the overall scent profile, but in the background are soft watery florals, slightly salty mineralic notes, and clean musk. There is not a single situation that you can't use this for. Sure, there are probably better options for colder weather, but it's not like you can't wear a freshie during winter. It's perfect for casual use, but you can definitely dress it up. No one will ever complain that you smell like a fresh sea breeze no matter the occasion. You can pay 10x more for ADG, but at the end of the day, if you're just looking for a really pleasant aquatic scent, you can't go wrong with Nautica Voyage. And no, it's not just great for the price. It's great in general. I don't know how Nautica was able to create such a timeless classic, but I really don't care. I just love wearing it. Also, because it's so cheap, you can overspray to you heart's content without hurting your wallet, and you won't feel bad using it as a room spray either. Overall Rating: 10/10 This deserves to be in the fragrance Hall of Fame if there was one. True masterpiece that should stand the test of time. Don't act like you're too advanced for designer scents. Just buy this and enjoy!

Nautica. Voyage. Yes, it's about the sea, and yes, it's a voyage. An olfactory journey that transports you to summer, to sunshine, to a stay by the coast, where a gentle salty breeze mingles with floral and fruity notes drifting in from a nearby garden. The apple is there. The green freshness is there. The florals are definitely there, all tied together by a subtle salty undertone. When you first spray it, it can seem to disappear almost immediately, as if it were barely detectable beyond the skin. But that's deceptive. Give it a little time, and before long you'll realize it's still there. No, it's not a beast mode fragrance—that much is clear. Nor is it a huge projector. But it performs considerably better than it initially makes you think. Does it have a slightly alcoholic opening? Yes. But... do you really mind waiting ten seconds for that initial volatility to fade away? Synthetic? Well, do you honestly believe that the overwhelming majority of designer fragrances—and even many niche ones—aren't built around a large number of synthetic aroma molecules? If by "synthetic" you mean "cheap," then, strictly speaking, yes—it cost me just €12 for a 100 ml bottle at Primor. But there's absolutely nothing cheap or vulgar about the way it smells. This is an outstanding fragrance: beautifully balanced, effortlessly pleasant, free of any harsh edges, utterly charming, and incredibly versatile. That said, I think it truly shines in the summer and with a casual style. Surprisingly good. Wonderfully enjoyable. And ridiculously inexpensive.

Nautica Voyage, my beloved. I am thankful to have this perfume in my collection and equally thankful that it just exists in the first place. To descibe this scent in an image, you are eating salted cucumbers fresh out of the fridge, seaside or perhaps on the water. This is a very fresh-smelling perfume which is pleasant and totally inoffensive except for the few that don't like musk. For me, first comes the cucumber, then comes the musk, with aquatic/marine notes in the background and the drydown just being pure musk. Projection isn't notable for this fragrance. The freshness of this perfume is what I love the most about it, even taking a sniff of the cap feels like taking a sip of ice water, I'm not even joshin ya. Pricewise this is a no-brainer. $20 CAD from a discounter, are we in Heaven? Everyone should have a bottle, and I would say this is a safe blind buy. To the few that hate this, I understand that for some people it is a complete miss, but please purge yourself of hate. Visit your church, or maybe just try to keep an open mind. Do not forget that a low-tier apparel brand that sells quarter-zips for $20 took a shot in the dark with this perfume that ended up rocking the fragrance scene for a lot of people. 7.8/10 I love it, but it could do with better longevity and performance. PS the atomizer is TRASH. Always gets perfume oil on my hands when I use this!

Nautica Voyage in 2026. It's a summer morning, you woke up early enough before all the noise. It's too early to have your morning coffee so you go for a quick walk in the local trail with your bottle of water, you took the route which leads to an open field as opposed to through the woods. You stopped by the field and sit down for a moment, you can smell the fresh breeze as it comes by, rustling the grass and cooling you off from the piercing sun. The breeze also picked up something fresh in the distance, and in that moment, it's quiet. This is where Nautica Voyage takes me; to a summer morning in a field, calming, nothing loud about this fragrance. It takes me back to simpler times. Aquatic green freshness, like you're sitting in a soft windy field. This is safe to overspray, as you'll only smell fresher the more you wear it. Is it synthetic? Arguably so, but not too synthetic to the point where it's headache-inducing for me. I have a vintage formulation of this which I have been holding onto for years now. I love this fragrance, probably the only $20 scent that I love. In its category, I give this a 9.2/10

In my collection, like most of us, I have the Chanels, the Dior's, the Versace's, the Creed's, the 'D&G's'& the 'Amouage's' etc etc.. but out of all that I own, nothing in my collection really beats Nautica Voyage for the Compliments/low price/performance factor. This really is a masterpiece of a 'cheap' cologne. It is fresh, clean, masculine and very long lasting (I can still smell it after 10 hours of the first spray!). It's a super summer Watermelon/citris type scent that my girlfriend just couldn't (and still can't), get enough of whenever I wear it around her. Both Nautica Voyage and Mont Blanc's 'Legend' are the 2 most complimented colognes that I own. They are also 2 of the cheapest. Ironic that isn't it. P.s.. don't listen to the negative reviews on here.. these are the people that have spent lots of dollars/pounds on expensive summer colognes, only to find that they have been outdone by Maurice Roucel's brillance that is Nautica Voyage.. for the cheapest price. 10/10. No questions.

First of all: this is a FANTASTIC starter scent for people getting into fragrances (like myself). This is also my first. Voyage starts off with.... yeah about that: I've read all of these fancy ass reviews about how it smells like a breeze on a sailboat in Italy. I sprayed it. 5 minutes. I smelled my wrist. My brain? Absolute emptiness. No memories or deep emotions. And to be honest? That is exactly what makes this fragrance so amazing! It's just super fresh, clean and totally uncomplicated. There's no story: it just smells like you stepped out of the shower - fresh. For me as a beginner, it's the perfect daily fragrance for summer. It performs decently and it's almost impossible to overspray this thing - and if you somehow do it and think "Oh no! I just wasted so much of an expensive perfume!" Well, you didn't. This is probably a fragrance with one of the best price values you'll see. I'm giving Nautica Voyage Eau de Toilette by Maurice Roucel a solid 7 out of 10. Cheers!

Not sure how to explain this, but it smells synthetic in a GOOD way. I blind bought this and was kind of underwhelmed at first, but it grew on me and surprisingly gets me some compliments. This fragrance leans male, but a girl can pull this off more often than not. I register green apple, cucumber, and aquatic notes all the way down. The scent is not so much just fresh as it is *refreshing.* I feel cooled off every time I smell it. Performance is on the weaker side, it shrinks to a skin scent after a couple of hours. Not a bad thing for this scent, just know what to expect. I find myself dumb reaching for this, but strictly for casual outings. Voyage is not very suitable for formal settings imo. It *can* work in the office, but you probably have better if you own a few frags. TLDR: great as a casual dumb reach freshie. Reputation precedes it -- should be on the bucket list of every frag enthusiast.

ABSOLUTE CHEAPIE HALL OF FAME FRAG! This fragrance is just amazing, especially considering the price point. It's fresh...it's cheap...it's strong...it's green...it's clean...it's summer frag perfection! Absolutely perfect and refreshing for a hot summer day. I'm someone who tends to have a heavy hand when spraying my fragrances. And for any of you out there that are the same way...this is a must-use-caution-type of fragrance as it is VERY strong and VERY easy to overuse making it WAY too strong. Even me (and believe me, I'm a chronic over-sprayer)...I even use only 4 sprays MAX! It'll last you 7-8 hours and the projection is monstrous. Easily 6 feet if not more. Compliments galore if used properly! Scent Itself - 9/10 Projection - 10/10 Easily 6-8 feet. Longevity - 7-8 hours and lasts 12-24 hours on certain clothing. Overall Rating - 9/10 I absolutely voted above with a "love."

(Reading the above reviews about this particular fragrance from the Fume Snobs is very amusing.) This is one of the best cheapy-but-goodies out there. You just can't go wrong. What you're going to get when you spray this is a terrific apple-cucumber cleansing scent. Just so fresh and unassuming. I think the problem the Snobs are having is that it's not very sophisticated. The thing is it's not trying to be. Yeah, it isn't sophisticated but it's balanced and well made. Just perfect for after the gym or a beach excursion. And what's more it's great for MEN and WOMEN. A woman (who is into unisex scents) can totally rock this. Decent sillage and longevity and what's great is since it's so inexpensive (15-20 bucks for a 3.4 EDT) you can be more liberal with your application. Awesome!

I think this is one of the first fragrances I bought when I started dabbling in the fragrance world and didn’t know much. I saw a video of Jeremy Fragrance recommending it. I love the scent profile. It’s very fresh, clean, and I’ve received compliments when compliments mattered. Now all I care about is my fiancé, and I don’t wear it as much because I have other options I like wearing and she likes smelling - better. It gets a lot of hate online, but who cares what anyone says if you like it. Wear what you like and smells good for you and those closest to you. You can’t beat the price here and this really is a pleasant/fresh scent. I would recommend and this can be a life saver if you’re on a budget or in a pinch because it’s sold everywhere.

Amazing scent. Bought for 13 bucks. It's an EDT, but I'm not complaining for the price. I can afford to bring little decants and respray because of the price. When I think ocean, I think this. Inoffensive smell. A scent that doesn't go heavy on citrus like many other Summer fragrances. Sometimes I just want to let my nose rest from the citrus I constantly smell. My girlfriend and I rate it very high over other designer fragrances. I still reach for this as the default summer fragrance if I'm indecisive with what I want for the day. Must-have for starting off with fragrances for the hot weather.

I think It makes you cool to hate on inexpensive fragrances. How can this fresh and inoffensive scent make you have headache??? Come on it's not a heavy oud scent! Of course this is synthetic, It's an inexpensive Nautica fragrance not a F..cing 400$ Ultra niche perfume. You just give what you pay for. And This fragrance fantastic for the price. It's a timeless Classic that doesn't smell old and dated, It still works like magic. It's beautiful, Fresh, sexy. It performs decent for a freshie (Better than most of the Louis Vuitton fragrances which cost 10 times more).

I've been using this perfume for over 10 years, and this is the third bottle I've bought... it's truly amazing because of its refreshing scent of water and lotus flowers. Where I live, it's very hot, around 35-36°C, and this perfume gives me a pleasant feeling, like being in a forest by a cool stream. The only drawback is that it only lasts on the skin for 3 to 4 hours, but that's okay because it's so cheap at only $22, so I'm sure I'll use it for many more years.

Fantastic fragrance for casual spring and summer days. It’s top notes are listed as leaves and green apple but I smell strong cucumber and melon, which has a deliciously sweet and refreshing effect. Performance is surprisingly good for such a light, summery fragrance, with 3-4 hours of peak performance, then tailing off for a couple more hours. Overall, this is a great fragrance for summers days at the beach, the golf course or for mimosas on the patio.

I’m getting some nuttiness. I love the open. I love the dry down. It’s the plain white t-shirt of fragrances. I could wear this everyday. Forget how much it costs. Just get it. Don’t compare it a fine dining experience. Compare it to In-N-Out Burger. Buy it. Keep it handy. Take it on vacation. Create memories with it. The scent is current and relevant.

O Nautica Voyage é um daqueles perfumes difíceis de desagradar. Tem uma fragrância fresca, versátil e perfeita para o dia a dia, especialmente em dias quentes. Comprei às cegas pelo preço e posso dizer que, se você fizer o mesmo, há grandes chances de gostar. A fixação é razoável e a projeção é mais discreta, sem deixar um rastro muito marcante.

It's Nautica Voyage. People love it, it's dirt cheap and perfect for spring/summer. I personally get more Green Apple off the top than Cucumber, but I definitely smell both. It has a powdery smell after about 4 hours that I am not as big on, but it still smells great. Buy it on Amazon for 20 bucks and gift it if you dont like it, can't go wrong.

Aquatic and refreshing. Suitable for daily wear. Lasts around 5-6 hours for me, turns into skin scent after that. Projection is good for the first three hours. Best to respray in the afternoon as it dries down fast due to the hot weather. For a cheap fragrance, this is really good and recommended to try if you want to smell fresh and clean.

For me this is the Greatest Fragrance of all time, a true masterpiece. It starts off with a salty sea like scent, after sometime it becomes woody. But this fragrance is extremely easy to like and is blind-buy worthy as it is extremely cheap. For anyone starting out, this is a no brainer. Truly outstanding cologne

unbeatable for its price, also one of my most complimented. i overspray and never have performance issues (8-10 sprays) i put this in a easy to wear everywhere category, especially in school/work/gym settings. no one will hate on it. smells like fresh, clean and salty green sea. 9/10 with all things considered.

I bought a 5ml decant from an online perfume store. Used that small bottle in 4 occasions. Last was for our company outing on a beach. Lasted for 4hrs in my clothes despite searing heat and swimming in the sea. Not bad for a fresh scent. I'll definitely buy a full bottle of this.

Timeless classic. In my honest opinion it might be one of the best freshies out there, the only flaw that it has is that it doesn’t last that long. Amazing sweet green fresh apple scent, reminiscent of freshly cut cucumber with salty sea breeze. 9.5/10

I just picked this up for my husband at Ross for pretty cheap and I LOVE it! I don't think it smells very synthetic at all actually like a bunch of you are saying. It's a slightly sweet freshie that makes me smile and want to sniff on him all day!

I've had this for some years now and I've bought a 2nd bottle. Voyage is a perfect Summer fresh aquatic cologne to spritz on, on holiday. I honestly think the Lotus makes the difference here. It beats some costing 3x the price. Its just lovely.

Personally love this scent. I got a 3.4 oz with the metal cap for 17 dollars. People say it smells generic but I'd rather smell good generic than bad different or bad generic. It smells so clean and green. Amazing for the price.

Very lovely scent! It's somehow well rounded for a cheapie. This is also NOT an office safe fragrance, since this projects quite well. It's got a creamy fruity base with an outer shell of watered cucumber'ish. Just get it.

Gym? Nautica Voyage Office? Nautica Voyage Beach? Nautica Voyage Dinner? Nautica Voyage Funeral? Nautica Voyage Toilette? Dior Savauge Smell 9/10 Longevity 6/10 Projection 4/10

I been watching and hearing about it lately, so I thought it nice to buy it and check it. It feels so good to have it in my collection. For me it almost lasted 5+ hours.

Cheap fragrance that does the job perfectly. Highly recommended even as a blind buy. I bought it for 19€, and I would pay up to 80€ for such a fragrance. Rating: 10/10

It's good bang for the buck. It smells good to pretty much everybody. It doesn't last very long, but it's an EDT so that's to be expected.

Summer in a bottle. It's cheap but it smells great. Young or old, it doesn't matter. Buy and wear with confidence. This is a no brainer.

A good one for beginners, this must-try product is full of fresh green apple and aquatic notes, but it can't withstand high heat.

beautiful aqautic fresh scent nothing else to desfribe it ive gotten compliments over it, one of the top 10 best bang for bucks

I think they changed something Its not fresh and salty like before Now its more floral musky I started to hate nautica voyage

New batch way less cucumber but it lean to green apple, just way too good.. best summer fragrance all the time 🔥 9.5/10 ✨

Lasts about 5 hours with moderate projection and smells watery and fresh, love it. No salty cucumber smell to my nose.

One of the greatest bangs for buck in the entire fragrance industry, and the “frutiger aero” aesthetic in a bottle.

I found it at a great price, and I use it as a gym fragrance. It dosen't last long in delhi heat 😅

Fresh, clean, fruity and soapy. One of the nicest Summer perfumes. Very likeable and great value.

Smells very masculine, amazing, very much a gym/after shower cologne. Great value

To add to below. This is probably the nicest value Summer fragrance in the world.

One of the best and most affordable fragrances of all time by Maurice Roucel.

Legendary. If all you want is to smell good and get compliments, get this.

I guess they changed the scent now its less fresh and more floral

I mean what can I say about Voyage that hasn't been said. Put it like this. I've tried to stop buying it because I've been through about 7 bottles in the last 8 yrs of wearing it. I keep telling myself that I've outgrown it and that this bottle will be my last, but I reorder it about every year or so because you can't really get a better smelling scent for about $20 both at online discounters and at your Marshall's and TJ Maxx type stores. It's one of the only fragrances that I can suggest blind buying for yourself or as a gift, because for the price and scent profile, even if you don't like it for yourself, you wouldn't have to ask more than 2 guys that you know if they like it before one of them says yes and you can gift it to them for cheap. I slept on this fragrance for a couple of yrs before buying it in 2018. I initially thought it was over hyped and smelled like a Rite Aid/drug store quality scent, and it still does smell like a drug store cologne up close initially, but it's just too good of a value. There are fragrances that cost $70 that won't smell as pleasant as this. I used to be able to pick up the mimosa note, but I've worn it so much that I just spray and go and don't look for it. It's very musky, appley, ambery, watery and fairly sweet. You can end up smelling like the cologne guy with the amount of musk in this if you go spray crazy despite it being an aquatic, however since there's no spice, you can manage some of that risk if you apply it heavy. This stuff will also still endure during cold months. I do want to up my aquatic scent choices, and I'm sure that I will, but it's difficult to say no to this for the value - Like a GM vehicle with a sunroof, Bose sound system, metallic paint and strong V6 for $30000.

Nautica voyage...where to begin. This was my first ever fragrance, I always keep a bottle just for old times sake, and maybe gym wear, but in 2026 could I recommend. Of course. The opening is very green heavy, with a little green apple, as it drys down I get a more sweet floral type smell. I don’t think it’s hits quite as hard as when it first dropped, but I got some niche snobs to believe it was a LV, so I’d say it’s still good As my collection grew I obviously stoped reaching for it, but that being said I think it is one of the best fragrances, for the price. I think the 100ml I bought was $13 on aura fragrance. Incredible value for money, and even though it’s not the best scent, I don’t think it’s a bad one, and I have gotten compliments wearing it in 2026. I think with the dupe market there is a lot of good, even better options for around the same price point, but if you’re looking to get into fragrance it’s not a bad choice. And for the salty cucumber, I never even thought of that before fragrance TikTok made a deal about it, and it became a meme, that being said I can smell where they’re coming from, but it’s not polarizing to me, and I can still get behind it. The bottle is pretty amazing quality except for the cap, which is obviously very cheap, and the atomizer is average at best. All in all though, a 7/10 to me, just because of the price.

A clean, aquatic, and light freshie, perfect for anyone who wants to smell great without overdoing it. It’s the exact type of fragrance that pairs beautifully with the gym, workouts, the daily hustle, or even just lounging around the house—which is how I’ve been wearing it a lot lately. The opening is incredibly refreshing, bringing that ocean-breeze vibe mixed with green apple and damp leaves—that classic, crisp 'out-of-the-shower' smell. Over time, it settles into a smoother, cozy profile with a subtle touch of sweetness, while always keeping its sporty edge. Since it’s a lighter scent, the longevity and projection are on the softer side, but completely honest to its purpose. It doesn’t invade anyone's space, never chokes anyone out, and delivers exactly what it promises: a pleasant, versatile freshness for any moment. A great find for those who appreciate practical, wearable fragrances that work effortlessly in any casual setting. 📊 Quick Summary Longevity: ⭐⭐⭐ (Soft, completely expected for a light aquatic) Projection: ⭐⭐⭐ (Intimate, creates a clean personal bubble) Vibe: 🏃♂️ Sporty, crisp, and fresh-out-of-the-shower

As someone new to fragrance, I am getting more and more exposed to scents that I missed out on when they were popular. Nautica Voyage has been one of the few that is a completely viable blind buy (financially) and I was able to get my hands on this scent for $21 + tax. Y'all I don't know if I was a dog in a past life but it's been 5 hours and the smell is still strong! 2 sprays on the neck after a few testing sprays on the hand was all this needed to kind of overwhelm my senses. This fragrance starts STRONG synthetic, but fades to floral green apple. After the 1 hour mark I could get a bit of amber, woody notes, more floral and green apple. 5 hours later and I understand the salty cucumber comments. I still cannot tell if I like it or not. I don't see anyone taking offense to this, nor do I see this being a crowd pleaser. This feels best suited to put on after a shower, on a day where you might be outside a lot. Sitting in an air conditioned office, this isn't the scent I want on me for this long, but if you have a more active day to day, this could work.

Overall thoughts and scent profile: The fresh cucumber water scent profile that everyone claims is indeed accurate, but it in a kinda aquatic rather than salty way, in fact it's almost slightly sweetish. It's not super premium smelling or anything, but it's pretty good for the price. Would probably be a nice gym scent, or even a daily if you don't really need a super complex summer fragrance. Presentation and bottle quality: Cheap presentation, mediocre bottle with a mediocre atomizer, as is expected for the price. Performance: Mediocre performance, just like any other fragrance with the same dna, on skin you get maybe half an hour of decent projection, then it becomes a skin scent for another like 3-4 hours, slightly better on fabrics but still moderate overall. Blind buy factor: It's very basic and doesn't have any polarizing notes so I would say it's blind buy worthy if you're looking for a dumb reach fresh fragrance. Final rating: 6.7/10

Nose Note #1104 Well... I had a sample of Blue Moon Ginger Dash By Kilian first and then I bought this, not knowing about the similarity. It is quite embarassing in a way, a very expensive niche brand like that basically copying ... this? Blue Moon definately had much more beauty than this, somehow, it was a little stronger, richer and felt maybe more natural, although Nautica isn't crap in that sense, but ultimately Blue Moon was perhaps 90% similar to this... But just look at the price difference. This is really not bad at all. To me this smells like the utter most "basic" mens perfume. Like if you try to imagine a mens perfume you'll come up with this. It doesn't mean it's bad at all. It's by all means nice and pleasant. Just very simple, doesn't have any development. Performance is moderate, maybe even on the weaker side. You have to overspray. 7/10
