What Does Nautica Voyage N-83 Smell Like?
The overarching emphasis in the opening is a very fresh and pleasant aroma. Aquatic notes are the most prominent blended with a heavy dose of spicy mint. The mint has a more aromatic and green tinge than spicy, but it grabs attention better than the aquatic notes.
N – 83 doesn’t have much of a mid. There are touches of lavender and subtle spices. After these nuances are present, they quickly dissipate and take the scent into the dry-down.
The dry-down is predominantly sea-like aquatic notes and signature, Voyage musk. Compared to the original, N-83 heavily emphasizes freshness more than greenness.

Performance
Voyage N-83 lasts three to four hours on the skin with light projection. It pushes out a foot or less for the entire wear. Even if you move around more, this doesn’t project better as it is so light. This performance is with five sprays.
This is spring and summer wear. It doesn’t have the depth to push through the cold air. You’ll get six months of wear if you live in a four-season climate.
As for occasions, it is all. This is both a pleasant and wearable fragrance that won’t offend anyone. This translates to its excellent mass appeal and likability. There is nothing about Voyage N-83 that is decisive, along with the subtle projection, makes for a very alluring and attractive fragrance.
Final Words
There are no similar fragrances to Voyage N-83. Even the original Voyage is not, as it is a much greener fragrance.
The final burning question is, is Nautica Voyage N-83 worth it? No. This is one of the worst cost-for-value fragrances on the market. Many times people on fragrance forums will say a fragrance has horrible performance even if it is beast mode. Yet, Voyage N-83 is actually bad.
I appreciate what the perfumer tried to do with the notes blend, but the performance is a deal breaker.
If you Nautica Voyage N-83, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
