Nautica
Voyage EDT
“A drugstore cologne with designer manners.”

The budget-aquatic benchmark and one of the most-worn fragrances in the sub-$30 category for nearly two decades — Maurice Roucel's 2006 Nautica creation. A green-aquatic masculine with a distinctive green-apple-leaf opening over a mimosa-lotus heart and a woody-amber base.
