Greater starter cologne for a young man!
I'm a 22 year old college student who hasn't really started to wear cologne. Well I'm about to graduate from school and I've got myself a big boy internship. I wear dress shoes and ties and I think it's about time for me to also grow out of my teenage body sprays (axe/old spice). I had very mixed feelings about cologne in general. It always felt like something only older men wear, like something that was too expensive. I've also had some bad run-ins with people who spray way too much fragrance and could clear a room.
I decided to check to see what kind of products amazon had. Nautica Voyage was and still is sitting at the Number #1 best seller in Men's Cologne, so I though I'd give it a try. I was not disappointed. Overall, I'm ecstatic about this fragrance. I'm not a scent connoisseur or anything but it smells great. I would almost describe it as taking a shower after laying out on the beach. It's light and airy, but also distinctly masculine. It's not overpowering in any way and I've worn it to work, school, and social functions without any objection. Be sure to only do a few sprays though. (I two sprays on the front of my wrists and rub it into my neck/chest).
My girlfriend loves it. Every time she hugs me now, she takes an extra second to smell my chest. I've also received a few compliments from friends (if they get close enough to smell it).
I was a bit concerned because of all of the reviews about fake products. I went with the default seller and everything seems fine. My bottle does have a plastic cap, but has a serial number on the bottom sticker. The smell also seems legit and lasts for quite awhile. The concern about the cap might just be an updated bottle design.
-Overall, I'm glad I bought it. For the cheap price, I consider it a great starter cologne. It's a fragrance that seems to work in almost every situation and I have yet to meet a person who hasn't liked it. If you find this review helpful, please hit the "Yes" button below. Also feel free to let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to answer them!
