The story

Nautica Voyage launched in 2006 as an aquatic-fresh masculine tied to the brand's nautical, outdoorsy identity. Built around green apple, lotus and cedar with a clean musky base, it became one of the most popular budget-friendly men's fragrances in the United States, frequently sold at drugstore prices. Its accessibility and inoffensive freshness made it a default first cologne for countless young men and a perennial best-seller online. The success spawned numerous flankers including Voyage Sport, Voyage N-83 and Voyage Heritage. Its enduring appeal rests on delivering genuinely pleasant warm-weather freshness at a remarkably low cost.

Our take

A clean, breezy aquatic built on green apple, water lotus and cedar that punches well above its price. It is the go-to affordable fresh fragrance for warm weather and casual daytime wear.
