Maritime for Him

This is a favorite. First the bottle speaks for itself. Secondly, the price is unbelievable for the quality. Third, it is so masterfully made. Fourth, there are not any annoying synthetics, unless you’ve got something against Abercrombie Fierce. The same perfumer that made Fierce also made Maritime, and many sniffers have noticed a similarity. So, here you have an Abercrombie type of scent appeal, and a Tommy Bahama aquatic vibe in harmony. Unfortunately, the Abercrombie element can be a bit loud. So, the harmony leans more to the free time and free life vibe. It works more for a party on the beach, but I think you could swing it with a self-confident business casual style. Although it may be too much for working in some more focused places. This scent works good for young men or for the guy who is grown up, but keeps his youthful spirit. This used to be higher on my list of favorites, but a better alternative is Chrome Pure. It has a similar style that is less loud and more versatile.

Smells like Fierce at the beginning but the dry down gives me aquatic floral vibes that go so well on a summer day or night.

Summertime, good vibes, drinks at sunset. Sexy, fresh and vibrant. Blue heaven..she smiled!!

First, to talk about Maritime Tommy Bahama, we must take into account that it is Eau De Cologne, i.e. the lightest version of fragrances. However, this cologne has the DNA of the legendary Fierce Abercrombie & Fitch fragrance, but in a very weak form and with almost no similarity. There is also some slight similarity to Legend Eau de Parfum Montblanc, both of which have deeper and higher gradation in aromatic notes. The fragrance here is not deep and not rich in notes, but it is a light summer cologne and is similar to most of the blue fragrances on the market. It is almost free of the refreshing citrus, sea water and salt notes that characterize most summer fragrances. Suitable for daily use with slightly below average performance, suitable for mature men and for morning and afternoon use, the scent of fragrance is predominantly clean. I really like the Maritime collection bottles, the fragrance bottle is very well made and looks valuable, and has a generous capacity of 125ml. Conclusion: An ordinary fragrance that does not deserve to be in your perfume library unless you are a fragrances collector only.

Call me crazy, but this isn’t far off from a cheaper, edc strength version of Creed Himalaya. Maritime has a more aquatic, slightly floral opening. However in the dry down they are surprisingly similar with the obvious caveat CH is richer and has a much better, longer lasting sillage. Maritime is slightly more powdery and rather obviously gets by with 100% synthetics. Other than that weird analogy this does have typical cologne performance. Big opening that dissapates quickly followed a few hours of lingering freshness before drying down and disappearing. Great for evenings, or for the office if you don’t mind its short lifespan. What my aunt would call a “church” scent. In other words, it’s not as summer weekend-only focused as some other Tommy B scents. In the end it does what a cologne should do, provide a quick blast of freshness without loitering.

At first I disliked this due to the opening, which immediately reminded me of JPG ‘Le Male’, which I cannot stomach. But after the initial burst, this fragrance quickly becomes its own entity and is surprisingly agreeable. Wet and woody, linen-y, and just a little screechy, I can understand comparisons to Abercrombie & Fitch’s infamous ‘Fierce’, though Maritime is far more mellow, and obviously an aquatic through and through. It is surprisingly evocative of a sea-soaked deck. Makes a good casual social frag. No one note really shines brighter than others; like most marine musks, Maritime is a tad overly blended and synthetic. INSANE longevity, however. Still smelled traces of this following a shower more than 12 hours after application.

This is an easy choice for summer nights. The pink pepper gives the aquatic a little bit of spice for nighttime wear. It could also be worn in the day but if so, better with a button shirt and pants rather than a t-shirt and shorts. As a 40-something male, I'd say this is slightly more mature and might be better matched on men over 30 than young guys at the beach/clubbing. If you're going for fresh but mature, this is a good call. Packaging 6/10: Pretty Cool Cleat & Line cap. Longevity 5/10: Standard for an aquatic Sillage 5/10: About arm's length Overall 6/10: No think go-to for Spring/Summer/Tropics wear in casual environments for those seeking a bit more mature scent.

It's floral, and citric, and green, and spicy, and woody, with some musk. Everything but the kitchen sink in here, but it all blends together in a nice, fresh, easy to wear summer fragrance. One of the first houses to really start using the now highly popular cleary sage note in aromatic aquatic fragrances. I wouldn't pick this for a special occasion or a date night, but if you want to smell good on a random warm afternoon, this would be a sensible choice. It's affordable and well received, and would be a good choice for someone new to fragrances.

Basically a dupe/alternative to Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce. Not my favorite DNA personally, but loved by many. If I had to describe it simply I'd say it smells like an aquatic Jolly Rancher with some florals. A bit scratchy, but overall very nice. Better than Montblanc Legend EDT, in my opinion... Way less synthetic. Performance isn't great though, 3-4 hours maybe. But then again, neither is the performance of A&B Fierce (which is also an EDC). Fierce is just smoother. Can't complain for the price. It's good stuff!

There's always been something about this scent I couldn't place but finally did, it has a passing similarity to Creed's Himalaya in it's muskiness. It's been over 2 years of "this smells like something I remember...." It's like a more synthetic, less powerful Himalaya dupe. I like it but sadly Tommy B refuses to make any fragrance in a concentration that can last more than a few hours. Although for what they are, and their prices through various discount outlets, they work in a pinch during the hottest months.

If you like Nautical décor the bottle is great. The cap shaped in a cleat with a traditional rope figure eight knot is great. Tommy Bahamas is hit or miss to me. I love St Kitts and St Barts was a no for me. Maritime is somewhere in the middle. It is a soft aquatic that comes across slightly floral. It is very clean and fresh. Easy choice for a summer day. Unfortunately it’s longevity leaves a lot to be desired. I would recommend but go heavy on the sprays.

Definitely a Le Male vibe at the opening, but that gives way to the lavender, pink pepper and florals. As it drys, the woods come through ...within 30 minutes...and this becomes a casual, mellow warm weather scent. A hair powdery along the way, but pleasant and somewhat musky. Don’t get the Legend comparisons; it’s not that spicy. Solid buy under $20. Performance is average for the house which is to say, average.

Not a bad aquatic fragrance. At first I didn't think much of this fragrance but it has improved a little bit, IMO. This is a softer aquatic, no crisp notes and suitable for most summer situations. It is safe and so it can be considered a little boring but not displeasing. Doesn't project well but lasts as a skin scent for more than four hours. Good price and a safe buy.

We just got it in our store last week and i have tried it about three times on. It is alot like mont blanc and all those but a bit softer,slighty powder smell to it. I had to spray alot for a good projection but most freshies you have to. Great for a chill day on the weekend, by the pool, very casual . 6 to 8 sprays needed if your outside

Less aquatic and more... I don't know...marine fougère? Really pleasant. Something about it feels like a cousin to Blue Jeans to me, even though they don't smell alike at all. I might buy another bottle someday.

Smells like a sweeter, more tropical Fierce. Super super good juice and highly underrated. Not even remotely a “dupe”. Typical fragrantica people having no clue what they’re talking about.

This is my third offering from this house. Awesome scent wish it came in stronger concentrations, although not bad for edc. Its light and fruity but masculine great for spring and summer

Revisiting this after giving it more of a chance. It is quite sweet and creamy, a little peppery. A good summer budget cologne. Good strength for what you pay for.

Good scent but go heavy on the trigger. Sweet fruity vibe great for spring or cool summer days.

Its a classical fresh marine saline scent with low-to-moderate performance. Nice for the beach.
