Nautica Blue (2006)
by Nautica

I used to love this scent, it's the first cologne I actually wore. I've since gotten into different preferences but I typically like to wear this every once in a while on a cool rainy day. At this point I feel that it's too candy smelling off the top to wear regularly, but not annoying for a day's worth here and there.

Funny enough, I bought this one online and got it as a gift a week later. I know what you're thinking. Its found at Target, Walmart, anywhere, and why would it be worth your time? It gets the job done. Any casual nose who isn't on this site is going to be pleased with some pleasant smell from the opposite sex. They are a lot less picky than you think. This smells like you got out of the shower. I know a lot of people use that but this really does. It smells like the color blue, so the bottle and name are no brainers. Lasts pretty long as well considering the price.

To my surprise, this one lasts a long time and is one of the best modern aquatic scents out there. The opening is fresh, sharp and you're transferred into the midst of the ocean, finding yourself drinking iced pineapple juice mixed with berry. The top note lasts longer than usual, and the middle smells great. It's cool, crisp, and very modern. The drydown is a bit sweet and musky, although not spectacular yet the top and the middle stages make this scent a good choice for summer wear.

Smells a lotta sweet first whiff, but unlike the other review, this disappoints me when it comes to longevity.
Only reason why I bought it is my sister (who's a student) likes it but can't afford to buy it yet hehe.
Good everyday, after-the-shower kind of scent but not one to impress, scent easily replicated by more mass-market brands.

So, I wanted to pick up a reasonably priced aquatic scent and came across this one for a very very good price. I tested it and caught a blast of icy berry which was quite delicious! I did however not expect much from the scent...not even expecting sillage or longevity and was I surprised!!!

Coming from Nautica, I think most people like me would not be expecting much...well, throw your beliefs out the window until you try this blueberry colour juice. Its fantastic.

It starts off with a berry punch which smells like a berry field and turns aqautic hours later. Did I say "hours later"??? Yes. This stuff has excellent sillage and longevity...I cannot believe it! It has gone 7 hours and just started to dry down. This is a great scent, one which people around you will like and one which you will like whether or not you like aqua scents.

If you find it give it a shot.

This fragrance is clean and aquatic, but somehow made me feel hungry and almost bloated. The smell is simple, and while it didn't work for me, others may like it.
