The starting point of a line that Nautica would extend with Nautica Blue Sail, Nautica Blue Ambition and Nautica Pure Blue, Nautica Blue appeared in 2005. Nautica Blue, an Eau de Toilette composed by Maurice Roucel, belongs to the aromatic family and opens on bergamot, pineapple and peach, before a heart of jasmine, water lily and lily of the valley set on sandalwood, cedar and musk.
Fruity top
The opening combines bergamot, a citrus fruit noted for its sweet edge and freshness, with pineapple, an exotic fruit with juicy succulence. Peach completes the tier with its sugary flesh, velvety touch and hints of nectar.
Floral heart
Jasmine brings warmth, sweetness and a wild facet, characteristic of this white flower with animalic nuances. Water lily, an aquatic flower, offers softness and sensuality, while lily of the valley, rendered in perfumery through reconstituted accords, delivers greenness and freshness.
Base of wood and musk
Sandalwood gives a velvety, warm wood with creamy undertones. Cedar evokes the dry wood of a pencil and a resinous touch. Musk, with its warm, animalic nuances, likewise contributes a woody dimension that envelops the whole.
Aromatic family
Aromatics usually draw on herbs and the liveliness of citrus; here, bergamot carries this bright, fresh tonality. Lily of the valley extends this clarity through its greenness, while cedar and sandalwood give the accord a woody foundation.
