Nautica Voyage N-83

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, salty and mineral, like sea spray.

It opens on sea notes, peppermint and petitgrain, moves through lavender, cardamom and nutmeg, and settles on musk, cedar and sandalwood.

• sea notes: a general salt-and-air impression, invented rather than extracted
• petitgrain: the twigs and leaves of the orange tree: green, bitter and woody, where neroli is the flower and orange the fruit

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
