How Nautica Voyage Intense Smells: Notes & Development

Nautica Voyage Intense opens with Green Apple, Ozone and Aquatic Notes — an assertive first impression that carries across a room. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Lotus, Mimosa and Water Lily. Hours in, what remains is the foundation: Amber, Cedarwood and Musk.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Aquatic, Fresh, Fruity, Green — close enough to its inspiration to scratch the same itch.
