Fragrance Review: Nautica Classic for Men Cologne

Nautica Classic for Men was released in 1992. This is a clean fresh daytime casual fragrance which is extremely affordable. In fact, online prices range anywhere from $12.21 to $14.00! Regular retail price is $47.50. This fragrance is SO affordable that a 1.7 oz bottle can be purchased for just $5.00 online! So if you're looking for an affordable daily wear cologne, this is a great buy!

The scent of Nautica Classic is of watery florals and tones of aromatic chypre woods. This cologne is perfect for the outdoorsy, athletic, adventurous man. The scent lasts between one to five hours.

Founded in 1983, Nautica is a U.S. based apparel brand which features primarily men's sportswear. In Italian, Nautica means seamanship. The company derived its name from the Latin word "Nauticus" for naval. Their spinnaker logo represents adventure, action and classicism.

Nautica Classic Cologne for Men is housed in a glass sailboat shaped bottle. The Nautica logo is located vertically across the left front of the bottle. The bottle has a round silver cap. The sprayer is turquoise to match the turquoise fragrance inside. The lot number is printed on the bottom with a clear sticky label. The packaging is silver with Nautica Classic and the silhouette of black sails on the front.

Sizes: The Nautica Classic Cologne for Men comes in a 1.7 oz and 3.4 oz size bottle. You can also purchase a gift set which includes a 150 ml deodorant body spray and a 3.4 oz cologne.

• Top notes are aldehydes, lime, coriander, cypress, cinnamon, tarragon, clary sage, neroli, bergamot, and lemon.
• Middle notes are cyclamen, jasmine, caraway, rose, and geranium.
• Base notes are sandalwood, amber, patchouli, musk, oak moss, and cedar.

As with anything, there are some negative reviews about the one dimension of this cologne where it pertains to the notes; also comments are made regarding the overuse of these particular base notes. However, my husband has this cologne and I love it on him. He loves it too! It smells very clean, citrusy, fresh, and woodsy. So, to each his own. For the price, if you are looking for an inexpensive every day cologne, this one is a great buy.

• Eau de Toilette - A little bit less concentrated than Eau de Parfum. Lasts between four to six hours.
• Eau de Parfum - Longer lasting with more oil that clings to your skin. Lasts at least eight hours.

Don't judge a cologne by the first spritz which can give off an alcohol smell. Wait for the cologne to set before you decide whether you love it or not. After spraying a cologne it will change significantly over time due to its fragrance notes. What are notes? Notes are the recipe for the fragrance. For example, top notes last between ten to fifteen minutes. Top notes are what you will smell when you first spray a cologne. The middle notes come in next and will last approximately thirty minutes to an hour more. The base notes come in last and will stay on your skin for the remainder of the day. So, attempt to wear the cologne for a minimum of an hour, when the base notes come in, before you judge if the cologne is for your or not.
