Voyage Intense

It's early, of course, but I love it because I love voyage, first of all. To me at this point in time, I can sum it up as voyage with a base of a leathery sweetness that reminds me of CH men (though it smells nothing like CH men). The sweetness and leather in there reminds me of CH men in an incredibly subtle way, but it maintains the fresh, slightly soapy aquatic vibe of voyage. To me, this is strange mix, but it might appeal to some. I don't believe in even factoring price into rating a fragrance, because we're here to smell the best we can, and most of us are willing to scrape up a few bucks to get something that will turn heads. That being said, this being so cheap is a bonus, but it is likely that you can do better unless this sounds like your vibe. If so, Voyage Intense is remarkably well done for its price, and I recommend anyone who loves voyage like I do should give it a shot. I'm not really into sweet frags at the moment, and the reason I got this so fast is because it just so happens that voyage and abercrombie fierce/fierce intense are my scents of choice at the moment, because I work at a hospital and need things that are fresh and can be worn subtly (and while I own a library of freshies and everything else, ironically voyage remains one of my top favorites with its unique aquatic and fresh vibe that smells normal and nets compliments). Side note: I think that voyage body spray that you can get at walmart is the best smelling version of this fragrance lol. Its just got a little something extra that smells so damn good. Maybe it's just the deoderant chemical mess that makes it smell so good, but it smells DAMN good. All that aside, voyage intense is an odd synthesis with its combination of sweet, woody, and aquatic, but if you're even interested, I'd say do it up, what the hell. EDIT: This stuff also has a super sick pressurized atomizer. Nice. And in spite of it being a strange concept for a fragrance, on second blush it does smell really good. I'm givin it a thumbs up and anyone liking voyage should go for it.

Price point wise its just not as good as the first, however i'd say that the scent is enough to justify the purchase (if you can get it for $25 USD or less). When smelling voyage intense i'm instantly brought back to the original voyage DNA but the cucumber note has been almost completely removed. Its a little more mature/smooth and honestly the dry down is incredible. This smells like what i wanted the original voyage to smell like. Perfect intense flanker to the original, performance still isn't the best since it's still a EDT concentration, but thats not a huge problem since i usually just bring a travel size 2ml with me whenever going out with any fragrance to re-apply.

I was a huge fan/user of Voyage from 2006-2015 so seeing this release at the same price point made it a must buy. It's Voyage but without the cucumber. It deepens the notes Voyage has and truly feels like an actual Voyage flanker unlike the countless flankers that came before it. I personally don't pick up on any leather notes. Overall a more mature Voyage. This was the right move by Nautica and should have been done long ago. Performance is just a bit better than Voyage but by no means amazing. For the price it's worth a try and for the Voyage fan this is certainly something you will enjoy.

I would say after giving this a full wear, i question people who say this is no different than Nautica Voyage. This is certainly a more mature, fresher, cleaner version. It is much more powerful, on the edge of beast mode. And it smells fantastic. I thought I liked Voyage, but this is an upgrade. And somehow, they maintained the affordability. Some say Voyage is an iconic fragrance. I say this is the new king. Try it. You won't regret it.

This is just damn good. As a fan of the previous iterations from Nautica, and as someone who started wearing Nautica back in the 90's alongside many other OG's, this stuff is just great. Nothing much more to say, really? If you like the DNA this should be a no-brainer.
