Reviews →

Nautica by Nautica is a crisp, aromatic woody chypre launched in 1992. It opens with a bright blast of lemon and lime, balanced by herbaceous clary sage and a backbone of cedar and oakmoss. This is a clean, soapy, and unpretentious scent that feels like a crisp white shirt on a hot spring or summer day.
