Tommy Bahama for Men

It smells like Nautica Voyage. But, there is more to the story. I bought a small 5-pack of Tommy Bahama scents as I love a few, like Set Sail St. Barts, so I thought I would try the pack because I found it for a screaming deal. Because the bottle is diamond shaped and ambery, I expected something dry and woodsy, but the moment I put on Tommy Bahama for Men, I realized it was totally the opposite. The sweet, summery, beachy scent smelled... familiar. What was it? After a minute I realized it smelled like Nautica Voyage! I was convinced they were identical. I went to my cologne closet, pulled out the Nautica, and sprayed them both on paper. Nope, not a clone. Not even close! Nautica Voyage is less sweet and in your face, but still in a very similar melony vein. I knew I wasn't crazy when I came to this site and found that many, many people had noticed the same thing. To the people who say it doesn't smell like Voyage, the fact that I came to the conclusion that they smell the same on my own, not knowing others had made the same comparisons, would argue otherwise. Sure, it isn't a clone, but without side-by-side comparison I was fooled. I like it, and I have worn it several times this summer. Great scent with excellent longevity. Redundant if you have Nautica Voyage, UNLESS you are a huge fan of Voyage but want a little variety now and then to appreciate the nuances of each, or you want something slightly sweeter and stronger than Voyage.

I don’t do decants in the summer. I just use the whole damned bottle ! I lift weights and work hard. And when it’s hot I spray down. If that’s you then this cheap bottle is your friend during the day. Or Get the big refillable decants . This old man has to show these 20-30 year olds how it’s done. Keep up now I miss the original so much. But this one here is Nautica voyage with all arohnd better quality. Blast of Melon. Smells so fresh. I can eat up a bottle of this in no time when it is hot. Spray spray spray and nobody will be offended. In fact I hear people all the time saying I love that smell. It’s melon. They want to know what it is but they don’t know where it’s coming from. I started spraying it just so I can witness it. And it never becomes a cloying nose blinding mess that pisses off the cologne Nazis. So I guess you can say it’s good for the office. But if you work like workhorse. Doing real man’s work. This stuff makes keeping the middle age man boobs off of you way more tolerable. Such a stress reliever during the sweaty season. I get this for $16.00 so why not. Last me most of the summer for me . It’s like the guys say down below. Weak. So go buy something else. That way there’s more for me. And I can spray spray if you don’t want it on you get the hell out my way 😂

One spray and wear in Macy's today, and I'm obsessed!!! What a wonderfully, sweet, juicy, fruity, spicy, ambery, tropical fragrance with a dry-down reminiscent of a true, saline ocean breeze, ala Blvgari Aqua. This fragrance, however, makes Blvgari Aqua smell positively foul. Masterfully blended, as one can individually distinguish all of the notes listed above as they swirl about in this orchestral symphony of a scent. A MUST BUY for warm weather as it dances magically, playfully, around the wearer, never too overbearing, obvious, or strident. Sillage is absolutely perfect for a warm, sunny day, however, I feel that longevity could be a bit better. Its ultimate transformation into a salty, fragrant, oceanic breeze makes this delightful voyage well worth the price of a ticket. 8.75/10 A juicy, balmy, sweet, sumptuous, expertly crafted fragrance from top to bottom, however one which could use a wee more wind in its sails. Bravo!!! UPDATE: Now that I own a FB of this, I must say, longevity is fantastic!!! I can detect it well over eight hours later, and as if finally fades it becomes a soft, sensual, lingering, beautifully rendered amber upon my skin.

I wore a sample of this to work last week. Honestly I put on too much. On of my female officemates caught a wiff and she was in love. She said whatever this is I needed to buy it. It kind of smells like clean natural body oder after a bath to me. I wasn't that impressed. I will try it again to see if my nose can pick up what she liked so much. Update 6/18/18: I just got a bottle of this in the mail. Upon my 1st spray it was a perfect match. It is fresh, and clean, manly and sweet. Not overpowering. Long lasting skin scent after 2 hours. I have been searching for a watery, fresh clean scent and this appears to be it. Where nautica voyage gives me a headache if I use more than 2 sprays on my wrists and I can't wear NV on my neck; this gem is much more wearable, no headache or sneezing from these awesome ingredients. It is exactly how I want to smell on a hot summer day.

Tried this at Khol's today, I can't comment on longevity or projection, but it seems like its probably pretty good as the bars above say. As for smell, its Nautica Voyage, almost 100%. The opening has a little violet leaf in in (which I don't like), but 10 minutes later its Nautica Voyage. I'm not sure if it being basically a Voyage rip-off is good thing or a bad thing. Its substantially more expensive (about double voyages price), but with the reviews saying Nautica may have been reformulated, this is a pretty good replacement if longevity isn't good enough on voyage anymore.
