this was one of my first fragrances I ever bought after watching loads of youtube reviews and had really high expectations for it. When it arrived, I sprayed it and didn't understand the hype behind it but still wore it everyday. Sooner or later, the compliments started raking in for it and then I kind of realised how simple yet amazing it was. Now onto my second bottle and will never not have this in my collection, along with perry ellis 360 red!
finally getting this bad boy all the way from uk....it was not available anywhere in msia....i think this is gonna be my most fave scent in this hot n humid weather.
Paid $65 for this at Lord & Taylor when it first came out in 2006. It was my first fragrance ever. Wasn't expecting to buy it, but the person behind the counter pulled me over and had me smell it. Still love this scent, and really happy it's now below $20.
4:08 had me laughing out really loud. Awesome review guys, great collaboration. Big fan of both of your channels so always excited to see a collaborative review.
NIce review guys. This one is a tricky one for me. sometimes I like it more than other times. Its a great cheapie for just a fresh and clean feeling which goes well in the heat. I use it for when I just want a soothing and smooth clean feeling that isn't sharp. The scent is very oceanic to me, very blue, very melon hair spray vibe with maybe a tiny hint of some kind of spice to it. if that makes sense. Scent wise though I don't think this stands out to me in quality or scent compared to others like maybe versace pour homme for example... i actually prefer the scent of that one better.. for me. Scent- 3.5/5 Longevity- 3.5/5 Projection- 3/5
Good review. Great value and performance for an aquatic. It has a synthetic vibe that George touched on that makes it difficult for everyday wearings. I think it is that synthetic smelling Apple note like Chrome legend. This is a fragrance that smells better at arms length, so others enjoy it more than you do. I use this strictly for summer and outdoors. Ladies like it and it is a compliment getter.
Philsfan08 I hear you man. I think chrome legend though, at least for me is a lot more synthetic smelling. I used to like chrome legend than after wearing it a few times i really got to dislike it.
Here in Texas, this one is an absolute gem when the weather gets warm. It is also unique in being a summer scent with no citrus. This is my young nephew's absolute favorite fragrance, and it is really good as a gift for high school or college guys.
Just bought this at Walgreens. I really like the scent. Something intoxicating about it, especially for being so cheap! Can’t wait to wear this in the summer 👍
Great review guys, as always! I have Voyage and I must say I agree with you. Best bang for the buck around, and everybody likes it. Can't go wrong with this one, perfect for the warm season, and work!
definitely a great Buy. I bought a hundred mil bottle for $9.99. actually like using it to layer with more musky colognes to give it an aquatic feel or a fresher smell. by itself it's still great . a classic for sure.
What a good video and great points about "design" 👍 Wearing Voyage right now after a few years -- I used to think it was too cheap to be enjoyable. Now my mindset is different and I'm finding it very enjoyable :) Same thing happened with Perry Ellis 360 Red.
I bought 100 ml. for $20.00 years ago and put it in my over 70 degrees rotation. George mentioned the collectors dream. a neighborhood store closed a couple of years ago and there frag dept. had a 50 percent sale among celeb Sents I found a D &G Pour Homme for $30.00 my best buy so far.
Can you do a updated video on Nautica Voyage? I think the fragrance has been reformulated since the smell I bought from Amazon has been significantly worse than smelling in store from around 6 months ago...
You guys need to try Bench Wired. That thing is a beast and has very longevity(8+ hours). It's has a very fresh scent. Unfortunately, it's only available in the Philippines. Very cheap fragrance
The best cheapie I bought so far was Midnight in Paris EDP. I got it for 25 quids roughly on Ebay UK and I was shocked by the quality of it. I'll definitely give this one a try seen that it's even cheaper than MIP.
I had an ex girlfriend of 5 years that I occasionally talk to recently tell me she smelled Nautica Voyage at the department store and it reminded her of me and that she loved the smell. Additionally, I'm crazy in love with Nautica Island Voyage. It's discontinued and it's like 100$ a bottle on ebay and the performance is absolutely terrible but the smell is even better there than Voyage. It makes you feel like you're on the best tropical vacation.
Great review guys! I owned a bottle of their Island Voyage and used about half the bottle and liked (not loved) it. Then as I got into the frag game, I kept hearing about this over and over and finally picked this up on my beach vacation last Summer (highly appropriate). I couldn't believe how amazing it was and definitely picked out the apple note, even with my beginner nose. And on the way home from vacation, I stopped for gas and held the door for a lady who immediately informed me I smell really good! Sadly that was the end of September and I've not had a chance to wear it since but come Summer I'll have it in the rotation :D
I've seen several times over the last few months that its been reformulated into a much weaker less "whole" version of itself. Can anyone tell me how much weaker it is or if it was just a rumor that has been spreading around? I have the original, it was the first thing I bought. But I'm trying to decide if I am going to be replacing it with a new bottle or if its been lowered in quality to the point I should move on to say Versace Pour Homme.
I have that already and I'm just starting to appreciate the darker wintery scents like leather , spice and tobacco ..my tastes are starting to change so I'm looking forward to buying a few winter scents (I'm used to wearing aquatics in winter argh) any suggestions for under 70 dollars ?
Matt topcat One of my favorite "leather-y" scents is Dior Homme. Really nice leather scent. I personally feel it's a special occasion/date night cologne, but everyone is different. Fragrance Bros did a review on it a while back
hi , great review ...I want to ask what you think is the winter equivalent of nautica voyage for value , design and scent ...I'm thinking ck one shock ..live to know your ideas
I bought this on the strength of its Internet reputation but this one missed by miles for me I'm afraid. Granted it's the reformulation so it may be an entirely different beast from the one you speak of. But to me it has an unpleasant salty aroma which evokes memories of having a really bad hangover when your skin and pores have that unpleasant smell from dehydration caused by a beer or 10 too many.
Really great review. I love that you discuss how a scent makes you 'feel'. Not enough YT reviewers do that. For fear of sound wussy I guess. I would happily pay twice as much for this fragrance, and I wouldn't say that for any other scent. Why do Nautica sell it so cheaply?!
+Adrian Fergus even at twice the price, it would still be a steal! Thank you for the compliment! I think explaining how a scent makes us feel is critical to describing scent, because it's connected so closely with emotions anyway
Another fragrance review with one of my favorite Brits...Mr. Phil Collins. LOL! Welcome back, George...just bustin' your chops! Anyway, I abhor this fragrance but loved the review! Well-done Bros!!
That's one of the reasons that I don't wear this amazing fragrance more. I own a business and when I go into meetings or talk to my employees and stuff I want a good powerful respect demanding scent. I usually wear aventus, Amouage man, or GIT. Nautica voyage is very good to just hang around with friends cuz it's very playful and energetic. Especially here in the high Vegas heat it really feels good. Hate the heat this makes it bearable.
WTF! I WAS WONDERING WHERE THE HELL YOU WENT GORGE!! I was just on your channel like fuck man where is he and BOOM! i just happen to visit frag bro and your here. good to see you man👍👍👍👍
Bros, I wore Nautica Voyage on a casual date in the park. While hugging the girl she told me "You smell good". After asking her "Do I?" She told me I smelled "like a man"
Warning to those of you who consider buying a bottle of Nautica Voyage based on this review. The fragrance is not so great anymore apparently... buyers have reported that Nautica Voyage recently must have been reformulated and that the newest bottles (with plastic cap instead of metal) contain a "watered down" version of the original with poor silage and longevity, alcoholic smell etc.
I told my friend 2 get this and when he has it on at work every1 bitches cuz It burns there nose after he puts on 4 sprays .... Then I put on 5 of Amen most people think it's great lol
this was one of my first fragrances I ever bought after watching loads of youtube reviews and had really high expectations for it.

+gugzay that's really cool. I love how fragrances can change our minds some times.
finally getting this bad boy all the way from uk....it was not available anywhere in msia....i think this is gonna be my most fave scent in this hot n humid weather.
I'm from Malaysia too. How to order from UK, sir?
This is one of my favorite gym scents
Paid $65 for this at Lord & Taylor when it first came out in 2006. It was my first fragrance ever. Wasn't expecting to buy it, but the person behind the counter pulled me over and had me smell it. Still love this scent, and really happy it's now below $20.
+viksra I just bought this for 13.99 . Times do change!

I love it!!! It's very fresh!!! I just picked up a bottle moments ago at TJ Maxx.I'm okay with this purchase.
definitely a great Buy. I bought a hundred mil bottle for $9.99. actually like using it to layer with more musky colognes to give it an aquatic feel or a fresher smell. by itself it's still great . a classic for sure.
Great point daver about the design vs. cost of materials! Love u george
+Brace Raid thanks! It's definitely a topic more people should talk about :)
What a good video and great points about "design" 👍 Wearing Voyage right now after a few years -- I used to think it was too cheap to be enjoyable. Now my mindset is different and I'm finding it very enjoyable :) Same thing happened with Perry Ellis 360 Red.

+James Baird awesome!
Best cologne ever.
Nautica Voyage!!! CAN'T GO WRONG WITH IT!!
Amazing review, this one has been one of my favorite ones of all time.
+ELEGANTE AROMA thank you, sir! How are you doing, hermano? Good to hear from you!
Can you do a updated video on Nautica Voyage? I think the fragrance has been reformulated since the smell I bought from Amazon has been significantly worse than smelling in store from around 6 months ago...
It smells good I have 2 bottles
is there any reason you don't have Perfumania and Fragrancex listed as recommended sites?
You guys need to try Bench Wired. That thing is a beast and has very longevity(8+ hours). It's has a very fresh scent. Unfortunately, it's only available in the Philippines. Very cheap fragrance
You nailed it fellas. Damn fine fragrance.
The best cheapie I bought so far was Midnight in Paris EDP. I got it for 25 quids roughly on Ebay UK and I was shocked by the quality of it. I'll definitely give this one a try seen that it's even cheaper than MIP.
+Filipe Oliveira MIP is a really good one as well. Yeah definitely check this out! It's really good.
Really like Voyage it smells great, its my go to fragrance.
I bought it for $20 at century 21
@Mark Ayres which one ? Metal cap or Plastic cap ?
Yes this is a great value and it last pretty long! But the best aquatic I feel has to be Invictus Aqua 2018!
6/5, not only for the price/quality.
Crazy that George preased this a year a go and now 3 stars?!
I had an ex girlfriend of 5 years that I occasionally talk to recently tell me she smelled Nautica Voyage at the department store and it reminded her of me and that she loved the smell. Additionally, I'm crazy in love with Nautica Island Voyage.

Which one u bye new formulation?
This is the best cheap fragrance I have in my collection, last all day on me and it smell great
yeah, it's really good.

Great review. Love the intro guitar piece.

Armani? Hopefully, that didn’t include Profumo, cause that one rocks.

Thanks kyle. .I have purchased dior homme parfum ..the original dior homme and dior homme intense since my comment was posted haha
Matt topcat lol, then you're already ahead of the game and have good taste.
thanks great taste or like these nuts a bit of ocd
Can you review Azzaro Chrome Legend? Voyage is ok but wouldn't wear it as it doesn't stand out.
hi , great review ...I want to ask what you think is the winter equivalent of nautica voyage for value , design and scent ...I'm thinking ck one shock ..live to know your ideas
Mont Blanc Individuel!
Haha I have both Nautica Voyage and MB Individuel as my only two scents for each half of the year.
Fragrance Bros. good answer. but I think mont blanc is much better
I bought this on the strength of its Internet reputation but this one missed by miles for me I'm afraid.

It's my fav.
The guitar wow so good
What would be some good upgrades from Nautica Voyage?
More nautica voyage...
Another fragrance review with one of my favorite Brits...Mr. Phil Collins. LOL! Welcome back, George...just bustin' your chops! Anyway, I abhor this fragrance but loved the review! Well-done Bros!!
I just bought 3x 100ml bottles (online) for only 10$ a piece.. i'm very curious about the smell... :)
And do you like it?
Damn.. that's one handsome chap playing guitar like a Boss! haha ;) Great review as always! enjoyed watching, some interesting points too..
Nice intro
haha, thanks bud :)
Thank you bud :)
+FragranceView haha definitely a great intro! Sorry I had to chop off a little bit.

+Abhi K. yeah, definitely more of a casual scent. Your taste for business scents is impeccable. :D
can George be the new permanent fragrance bro? it's the only way I see him reviewing again lol
+King Metta hahaha! I love his channel.
Fussball Meister no..? I love his channel. I just wish he posted more.
Another great review Daver !
5 out of 5 for me.
WTF! I WAS WONDERING WHERE THE HELL YOU WENT GORGE!! I was just on your channel like fuck man where is he and BOOM! i just happen to visit frag bro and your here.
good to see you man👍👍👍👍
Bros, I wore Nautica Voyage on a casual date in the park. While hugging the girl she told me "You smell good". After asking her "Do I?" She told me I smelled "like a man"
Nice!
Fragrance Bros. She's the second girl to compliment me while wearing Voyage on casual dates. Keep the good work, bro!
What happened to the guy who reviewed fragrance with him in early days?
This is definitely a great fragrance! Great job guys!
+RyzFragz34 thanks!
8:21 -- ironing laundry
Voyage is great
Is this better than Davidoff cool water?
hmmm, that's a hard one. I wouldn't say it's "better" per se, but maybe just as good. They're both about the same price, too, I believe.
I just can't get my head around the almost universal love for this scent. I think it's the very definition of average.
+Mick Porter oh well, can't win 'em all I guess. :)
Voyage is a great fragrance for warmer climate. Blue is my first Nautica fragrance that got me hooked.
Warning to those of you who consider buying a bottle of Nautica Voyage based on this review. The fragrance is not so great anymore apparently... buyers have reported that Nautica Voyage recently must have been reformulated and that the newest bottles (with plastic cap instead of metal) contain a "watered down" version of the original with poor silage and longevity, alcoholic smell etc.
+Brett Iwanowicz plastic cap or metal cap?
Great scent but poor sillage and projectivity imo
wow ... awesome guitar
Wow that intro was sick!
+Lars N Thanks! ;)
I told my friend 2 get this and when he has it on at work every1 bitches cuz It burns there nose after he puts on 4 sprays .... Then I put on 5 of Amen most people think it's great lol
4:08 Armani? LOL
10 out of 10 , only because of the price
great intro
nice review
Great fragrance at a great price... Thanks for that last clip too BTW... LMAO!!! Great job both of you as always... ^_^
+Xanovia Scents thanks!
not sure why these voyage reviews are in my list now. anyways, i think it smells like some kind of melon more than apples.
I don’t get the hype, i can barely smell it and it’s last only a half an hour😑
Mark Jones a fake of a extremely cheap fragrance? Dont think so
Absolutely fake, I have 5 bottle of this batch from 2014 to 2018,all give me long lasting minimum 6hour maximum 8hour in my skin
Smells like a unsweet melon,I don't get nothing unique about this. Boring laundry melon would have been a good name for this
+Zeeangelofdeath that's a horrible name. ;)
I'm sorry but it's so...synthetic smelling to me...just awful. It does project yes but the smell is so just generic and almost suffocating... :(
mehh its good for the money, but too chemically smelling
