I really wanted to like this. It has an evasive set of scents, dominated by nutmeg. But the more I wore it the more cloying it seemed. It's a wonderful quick hit, but then outwears its welcome.

Fragrance notes: Spices, exotic woods, strong coffee resins.
This is a very good, distinctive scent. It has deep spices and dark woods. It is very similar to MPG’s Eau des Îles. EdN is woodier, spicier, sweeter, richer. EdÎ is drier, smokier. They both are warm scents and yet EdÎ has an intriguingly cool aspect. They both have a very roasted espresso note that is quite charming. I didn't detect any tobacco notes. I can’t see owning both, and I prefer the MPG take on this. But Navigateur is a classy scent, to be sure!

This is perhaps the most wonderful men's fragrance ever produced by L'Artisan. I've been using it on and off for 20 years now and I just checked with the head of distribution in the US (from France) and she said this is NOT DISCONTINUED. and is NOT being taken out of the line. This is as of January 2009. I was shocked to read that it was discontinued here, and I went right to the store in SoHo in NYC to check for myself. I was told there is no truth to this rumor.

L'Eau de Navagateur! Spices. Blond tobacco. Coffee beans freshly ground. A blind 100ml buy, but one i will always be grateful for.This is a scent i have always imagined in my mind for a while. I thought i found it in Dior's Eau Noir, but L'Eau de Navagateur is IT. Its like a holy grail discovered. Deep, dark, always making its presence felt, but not overpowering. good sillage and reasonble longevity. I will always treasure this. Many thumbs way way up!

A very rakish scent, smoky seaside bar-meets-cool old used book store. Sour coffee and spicy nutmeg notes peppered with sweet tobacco/leather and a hint of old booze. The sourness has a pitch that may turn some off (my wife isn't crazy about it) and my guess is you'll either think its sweet spiciness provides a nice balance or just masks smoky weirdness. An rich, intriguing mix for a harder-partying Indiana Jones that holds up incredibly well throughout the day.

On my skin, it's the spices of Bel Ami, added with a bit of coffee, and a bit of a B.O. note. Great longevity, but wouldn't own this and Bel Ami.
