Transcripts

what's up guys my name is Nate welcome

to the channel I've got Nautica Voyage

here and I'm going to explain to you why

I hate this fragrance this is terrible

now first off if you like the fragrance

good on you good on you you're not gonna

offend anybody with this not like Ood

for Glory so let's talk about some of

the notes in here you mainly got apple

and you get a lot of freshness there's

some green notes in here which is it's

really Pleasant it's very synthetic

though there's actually some Lotus in

here some cedar some musk there's a

bunch of different little nuances in

here the no breakdown like just from the

note breakdown it does sound like an

appealing fragrance it does and like I I

don't want to like you guys

it smells all right all right well I

gotta get back to work and that's the

end of the weather forecast you're not

gonna offend anybody look at that

atomizer it's like you're not going to

offend anybody this is why I hate it so

this is in pretty much every TJ Maxx on

the planet okay and when it's

Christmas Eve eve and you don't have a

gift for your 13 year old nephew Lewis

so you go to Burlington you go to TJ

Maxx you go to anywhere

and you see Nautica Voyage and you say

man he's a young man he needs to wear

cologne everybody does this so because

this is so cheap this is an Impulse buy

and what impulse buys mean is that

everyone buys them they put them at the

end of the checkout because it's so

cheap people will buy it hence everyone

smells the same it amazes me that Dior

Savage gets so much hate like the eau de

toilette Dior Savage but then this thing

is running around on every 12 13 year

old boy flaunting that they just bought

a new fragrance so that is part of the

reason and the other issue I have with I

mean I don't have an issue with it this

is so pathetic I don't have an issue

with this this is literally juice in a

bottle it's it's got a sprayer go ahead

buy it I don't care the other

issue I have I say that lightly issue I

have with this is It's So synthetic

there are so many different fragrances

on the market now and especially with

the rise of latava like this is not a

good example of it but bright Peach this

is twenty dollars and this smells so

much better than this so why why I'm not

saying that like bright Peach is

anything like this not at all but I'm

just saying that this is so easily

accessed this should never be in your

collection I'm ashamed to have it in my

collection so that is one of the

downsides that I find with this is it

smells so synthetic it doesn't smell

real at all it just smells like a shower

gel

like one of those cheap fragrances that

just gets poured into a you know a

bottle and called the fragrance like

this could be at Old Navy it could be at

one of those Jean shops where they just

sell jeans like have Nautica Voyage just

sitting up there the other thing too is

the whole nostalgic factor and that is

really true so

um it is very nostalgic for me too it's

very nostalgic for a lot of people and

that I'm not griping on it's always good

to have nostalgic in fragrances I

sprayed on dioram cologne last night and

I just remembered like a bunch of

different really good times that I had

with this the nostalgic thing is there

it's just Dirt Cheap every 12 year old

smells like this and this is a perfect

last minute Christmas gift because

people will go whoa you got me a clone I

never sprayed a cologne on in my life I

wear body spray synthetic boring bowls

there is so many other fragrances on the

market that are going to make you stand

out and smell unique if you take this on

a date she's gonna be like wow you smell

like my 12 year old nephew listen

Nautica Voyage just goes back in the box

and it gets shipped off somewhere else

these are just my thoughts let me know

what you think down in the comments down

below not a voyage it is great it's a

great spray on and go like you don't

have to care and it clearly shows the

way you smell smells like you just don't

care I do admire the nostalgic Factor

behind it

but if you're looking for a cologne to

smell good just find something better

thanks for watching the video guys we'll

see you next time
