What does Nautica (Cologne) smell like?
Lemon, lime, bergamot and tarragon lead the opening, with neroli and coriander adding a light spice to that crisp start. Toward the middle, geranium and jasmine bring a soft floral touch. In the base, musk, amber and cedar stay in the background. The overall impression is aquatic, green and slightly sweet.
Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick it for leisure and daytime, with sport and business next. It reads masculine. Acqua di Giò pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) and Nikos Sculpture Homme (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
