Very fresh, inviting and light Opening of the green notes and green apple just like you are sitting in a high end bar and the bartender just happen to serve you most delicious green apple cocktail drink very refreshing and light which doesn’t hit your nose directly it is so calming yet enjoyable fruity yet airy scent.
Why I like the top notes So much - the green apple and green/leafy notes remind me of fruity and cooling sensation the feeling when you came to your house after playing in the high heat and you mother had just made the best cooler/drink for you it is so comforting in high heat.
The top notes last around 25-30 minutes
Many people call it salty cucumber water though I sense salty/oceanic notes but cucumber my nose can’t detect as I am writing this review but 2 months ago when I smell it in the winter my nose detect it.
The heart note is mimosa and lotus remind me of ponds powder the pink one it has same fragrance also the lotus is blended very well with mimosa coming one by one lotus note I think of I am in a boat visiting a lotus market with lotus fragrance (little feminine) and in the background I smell light airy notes That’s how I describe the heart notes lotus smell that almost feel like feminine and powdery mimosa juts like a pink ponds powder your mother use to apply when you are kid plus the mimosa in it gave a soft powdery/floral smell in the background.
For the base the first note my nose smell is light hint of musk it dries down to a skin like scent at the end musky throughout the dry down
It is great to wear it on you clothes more than you skin leave your skin for more evolved
Fragrances as it gives your clothes fresh out of the laundry vibe which is pleasant to smell if you are working or spending time with your girlfriend and family I am going to use it as a cloth
fragrance best suitable for clothes it lingers well on clothes it gives fresh out of the laundry feel.

My advice - Do Not Overspray It it can induce Headaches and will be cloying and metallic just 4-5 spray on pulse points.
Occasions to wear - Gym , Running Errands, Beach, Pool, Peak Summer (Afternoon), Post shower Chilling in the home.

About the built quality of the bottle (glass, atomizer and cap) - the glass bottle feels solid and heavy in hand with thick glass and the I like the font of NAUTICA VOYAGE give it s premium feel also the cap is plastic with metal covering and the atomizer it give a fine mist not a great spread but a good one.
Price - you will get it around for 1800-2200 INR way less if you get in for a discount
My final verdict - I have it for six months now and for most it is a entry to the designer fragrance territory same was for me as well but it is too linear and plain for the taste plus the lotus notes and powdery smell lean it more towards a feminine fragrance it is great for wearing on clothes.
