Nautica in cooperation with Coty Beauty introduces their new fragrance Oceans, which is due to appear on the market in March 2009. Oceans represents a fragrant journey created by a special technology, based on water and rounded with fresh, green ingredients.
It is interesting that ingredients and packaging are biodegradable, which suggests that creators paid attention on preserving the environment. Perfumer of the house of Coty, Michel Mane was in charge of composition of perfume Oceans, which is water-based and allows for a concentrated oil load of up to 20 percent to be built into it, thanks to a new technology.
Such concentrations contained two to three per cent of oil so far, but Oceans contains 10%. This technology decreases skin drying and irritation to a great measure, when talking about alcohol-free fragrances like Oceans.
Oceans has top notes of ocean air and lemon tonic; a heart of sea salt rose, lavender reef and geranium, and a drydown of amber crystals, sun-drenched teak and regatta accord. The fragrance is constructed as an aquatic fougere.
The flacon is created as a signal flag, crowned with a silver stopper which has logo of the brand engraved in the top, designed as cleat on a sailboat. Theme of ecology which follows this edition, includes outer packaging being made of 30% recycled materials and can be recycled further (100%).
Oceans is available as 50 and 100ml edt, with 100 ml after shave balsam and 75 ml deodorant stick.

Base Notes
Nautica Oceans is very clean and extremely light. It's one of those fragrances that you'd wear if you don't really want to wear anything at all. On skin, it doesn't last long, but almost all day if sprayed on your clothes. With notes of ocean water, lemon, and sea salt, you're sure to smell like a day at the beach! :)

God bless!!!
Bought this for my Husband and I really like it and so does he, the staying power on skin isn't that great but he sprays it on his shirt and it stays all day, he has received many compliments even from other guys. its fresh and masculine yet subtle.
Just getting into fragrances, so forgive the naivete of my review. I really like the smell of aquatics. Also, the lightness of the scent works for my wife, who pretty much hates all fragrances that she can smell on me, so less projection is a virtue (to her, anyway). Started out my fragrance journey with Nautica Blue, which I liked initially but am now bored with. Smelled Oceans at Target (like so many others) and thought it was vastly more interesting than Blue. I love the lemon/floral/citrus. For me, it lasts a reasonable amount of time though it is not powerful at all. Very pleasant, fresh fragrance.
I like this. It's subdued lemon, fresh. Maybe not exciting & strong as I'd like but for the price i paid (under $8 an ounce at Marshalls) it's fair.
i like the idea of a water based perfume, i just think alcohol is fixing more the perfume than water. should work well in all the ismalic countries!
I really like this. I wish I could get more out to the sprayer. It would be so much better if you could just splash it on. The fragrance is lite and subtle but once you get enough on it is wonderfully Nautical and will last a regular amount of time. It's great stuff and no alcohol which is refreshing and totally different. The company Mane is Inovative and High Tech to be able to suspend higher amounts of oil in the water and capture the essence of smells like the sail with there breakthrough extraction technology. It's a pretty cool, interesting EDT. I really like it a lot.
Great name and I would like to try this. But just found Horizon by Guy Laroche and it's one of the freshest green natural aquatics out there. Nevertheless, gonna have a squirt of this one. *UPDATE* Just discovered Ocean Dream by GBH - beautiful!
A Warning, do not waste your money on this product, you will be disappointed, you cannot smell the top, middle and worse still the basenotes are non existant. I dont get the fresh in this and will not buy again.
I just picked this up last week after spraying four different summer fragrances as I went shopping for an hour. It was quite a tossup between Burberry Summer, Light Blue, and this one. I found the opening notes taking me to as the name describes "the oceans". I am so tired of everybody wearing Armani Acqua Di Gio, so I was looking for something in the same family but different. This did it! I was leaning towards Burberry Summer, but the longevity of this fragrance after four hours was incredible! I can still smell it on me in the morning on my pillow, but not in an offensive way. I think it's the Amber that gives its it's longevity without projecting all over the place. Absolutely love it and get lots of compliments. Wear during summer days,casual, and no matter what the temperature it'll still draw some compliments. I was very surprised with Nautica.
This fragrance lives up to its reputation. Only thing I do not feel comfortable about it, that I bought it at insanely high price of US$65 as it was not available on any store other than Nautica itself here in UAE.
I like this one, it's fresh, lemony, I could smell the sea salt and rose, it makes me feel like I'm on the beach, it's a good fragrance to use in summer, actualy it's a good one to sweat it in this Texas heat.
me encanta este perfume, es poderoso, intenso, y realmente recuerda los oleajes de grandes playas. Su proyección es bastante buena y su duracion impresionante para un perfume hecho con tecnologia a base de agua, su precio es razonable asi que. es recomendable. Eso si, sus notas de salida pueden molestar a las narices más sensibles. 8.8/10
Excellent Citrus,
Wished it lasted longer and was more powerful...
This Nautic Oceans is a very close (and better) cousin to Nautica Pure. Instead of being mineral musky clean, this Oceans is lightly zesty and clean with lemon peel. Oceans and Pure are very light of course like a skinscent because they stay close to the wearer without a projecting power whatsoever. This Nautica Oceans also reminds me of Regatta as Nautica Pure is White Sail counterpart. Spray all you want and it is not gonna overwhelming.
I recently bought this fragrance. It was a bargain at $20 from Marshalls. I'm glad it was such a bargain, because it didn't last at all.
The opening is a little strong on me, even though I was judicious in application. Heavy, lemony "freshness" on my skin which dried down fairly quickly into something slightly sweet, yet totally innocuous. Within 2 hours, the scent was completely gone. I got none of the briny/oceanic pleasantness mixed with lavender and I was really hoping for those, too.
At first whiff, it reminded me of Banana Replublic's Classic citrusy-clean scent, but after the lackluster dry down and the all too quick loss of scent, I think I'll stick with the BR Classic for the plain, Summer, office fragrance.
All in all, it's not a bad scent per se, it's just not particularly good for me.
I am not sure about my final conclusions about this cologne, but it is definately good.
It has something very particular about it, it is a smell that in my opinion ressembles no other fresh aquatic fragrance i have come accross. It is refreshing, nice smelling, it almost smells like some kind of lemon candy.
I am not sure about longetivity as I have not received any comments about it and i can not smell it on mysef because I am used to it.
I think it may be a keeper, my initial opinion was not very positive but I think it's starting to grow on me and I may continue to appreciate more and therefore perhaps purchase it again.
Definately something original, unlike Aqua di Gio which at least one man out of five is wearing.
It's a boring scent and smells cheap to me!!! Smell is somewhat OK. Don't like it
I sampled this when it first came out. Would I buy it? Probably not, is it a bad fragrance? No just boring! Would I wear it if I recieved it as a gift? Maybe! This is a very nice clean smell, stays close to the skin & last about 4-5 hours on the skin! Great for HOT days! Not the best aquatic, but it deserves a chance just like the rest. I would recommend to those who like close to the skin, clean, fresh, soapy scents!
I got this as a sample when buying other frags at the mens counter it smelled nice, a little lemony, salty with a hint of soft florals and seashore. Good, but there are better aquatics out there...or so I thought. I read up on it on the Net and discovered not only is it a new water based technology made with pure oils, recycled bio-degradable packaging but Nautica is donating a portion of the profits to OCEANA a non-profit organization fighting to keep the seas clean and safe for wildlife. How PC!!
Now I know some of you are thinking PLEEEZE! but there was a time when I did my share of damage to the planet and if buying a wonderful natural scent that is one of the truest aquatics I've ever smelled helps heal our Mother I'm all for it. I also noticed an atomiser somehow makes the juice more intense than a splash or a sample you dab on.
Ever the bargain shopper I purchased the 3 pc gift set (100 ml EDT, balm and bath gel) with free hemp dobb kit and received a mini Voyage travel set. When I first spayed it at home the lemon note was foremost(I love the white Amalfi lemon's sweet pungent essence) and like the PR said it has quite a tonic effect, mixed with watery (non-calone)notes:pure and lite. It bubbled on the paper strip and started to deteriorate it (don't forget-it's H2O based) and then it slowly faded away..what a rip-off! I thought, then while opening my free mini-set I smelt the dry salty rose, geranium and a smooth non-powdery lavender note rising in the air, not just on the strip; amazing! (PR says lavender reef, maybe this mysterious reef note slightly altered the lavenders otherwise powdery herbal nature). The finish is as soft and polished as the rest of this juice the crystallised ambergris lends a sweet marine feel to the base as teak (wood used for sailboats) and a regatta accord round things out. *Regatta is a boat show/race where everyone comes to the water to watch , relax and enjoy themselves. Here in PA we only have river regattas and when I ask someone what a regatta smelled like they said fishy water, suntan oil, sweat and diesel boat exhaust fumes(!!). Well this has none of that so I assume it is a TRUE regatta accord of hemp sails, fresh air, water-rich winds and a slight beachy tinge.* All in all a true work of art while being a decent product at a fair price and helps a good cause. Sure, there are other aquatics out there but none gives back as much as Nautica Oceans does...
Sillage: varies with scent development
Longevity: impressive for an H2O base
Overall: 4.5/5
I'm a BIG fan of aquatics and this release is that on so many levels. It is reminiscent of the original eau de colognes but with a modern twist; not in the scent, so much as Nautica's approach to its marketing and construction. For someone like me who has to drive many hours to get to a beach this is a great substitute. We humans are 90% water so this juice reminds me where we came from and flows through all our veins...the Sea.
Oceans triggers memories of when I raced in regattas back in the Caribbean. To me, it smells like a salty sea breeze combined with the scent of a sailboat main. I guess that's what they were shooting for with the "regatta accord" in this fragrance! I wear this sometimes after a shower or going down to the water. It's nothing that'll blow your mind away, it's just safe and simple.
Nice and summery but nothing grand. Problem with Nautica is that they stay within the box when making colognes. Summer is what they market and it is what they produce. A good cologne but one in a million at this point.
I AM NOW IN DOHA QATAR (MIDDLE EAST) THIS PERFUME CAN AVILABEL HERE IF YES GIVE ME NAME SHOP
This cologne is so familiar. I think I must have smelled it on many, many different men without knowing what it was. That being said, it is a very pleasant and non-offensive smell. I especially enjoyed the sea notes, salt, and lemon all mixed together. The overall impression is very aquatic, but also very masculine in character. The floral notes are not prominent to my nose, and after a certain point the aquatic atmosphere dissolves into a masculine accord vaguely resembling fougere.
To me, this fragrance is quitessentially male, maybe because I've smelled it on so many men in one department store or the other. A little too common for my taste. A real pity, because this is an aquatic that I wouldn't mind wearing myself.
something reminds me of this colonges smell........ i finally figured it out. its smells identical to clinique happy for women oddly enough.
Nice aquatic, fresh-clean-citrus-y & water based fragrance. Sometimes it smells like detergent lol! Btw did u find it's difficult to spray? Or just my nozzle?
I fell more in love with my fiance when I first smelled this cologne on him. It is so beautiful and fresh. It reminds me of laying on a dock at sunset..The smell of the water and wood..fresh summer breeze!
I really thought that there was tobacco (or something sweet) this. It's fresh and sweet, but not too sweet. Great for casual wear and for days when you don't want something heavy or thick.
i just purchase this fragance, witjout smelling it just because i read the last review i have nautica voyage and chrome legendm, and i was looking for a new one so guest_excellent i will trust in you, and i will write my real review as soon as i cheched my new fragance
I just purchased this cologne after smelling almost all the colognes at the department store. It came down to Nautica Oceans, Nautica Voyage, Chrome Legend and Neo.
I chose Oceans because it just had a certain smell I was looking for. Best way to describe is a clean scent, where a lot of others had more of a musky aroma that lingered strong. This cologne was subtle and not overpowering, it just smelled like clean Caribbean breeze.
i got to say this fragrance is great i've had random woman come and ask me for a hug and what fragrance am i wearing,i tell em its water pure baby...can i get another hug...
Hi, I got a sample bottle of the Nautica Oceans and after smelling it a few times realized the smell
puts me in a calm & happy state of mind and increases my energy level.I have no idea what the real reason behind this is,it can't be just a "good smell",there is something more to it.
I have ordered 3 100ml bottles for now.
I am very curious to find out if anybody out there has had a similar
experinece.
The name for Nautica Oceans is perfect. It put the setting of sitting right next to the ocean on a hot summer day and taking in a big whiff of the salt water and sand in my head.
The lavender, amber, and salt stick out to me in this fragrance and it's amazing. The citrus top note combined with the sea water make me love this. I think this being water based plays a big role in the overall scent as well. The aroma is so pure and thick.
The longevity is excellent. I can smell the lavender, salt, and amber on me all day. Or if I wear it at night I can smell it on me the next morning.
This is in my opinion Nautica's finest cologne. They truely outdid themselves on this one. I wasn't a Nautica fan until this. I'm so used to Nautica colognes being so generic and synthetic on me I didn't even want to give Oceans a chance. I'm glad I did :)
Most scents are alcohol based - this one relies on water, and it's a reminder what a sea smells like from a sailboat: teakwood, lemon tonic and sea salt rose
to me was very strange but in a nice way, the first minute i couldnt identify the smell at all..but was there.
i think in pure water, a clear liquid, a quiet and silence moment with water, peaceful, relax and very interesting fragance..
I would love to own a bottle of this one day. This was my review and findings after testing it one day.
This is a good creation since Nautica Voyage.
The beginning is brisk and tangy, like seaspray itself. You instantly feel its invigorating effect stir within you followed by the calm you feel staring at a vast ocean.
I do love the briney notes that accompany the lavender and geranium. After enjoying all of this, you suddenly get hit by something that makes this scent different or rather unexpected. The base notes whisk you away from the water surface and back to the shore where you smell warm beach sand cooling in the sunset and the cool unmistakable smell of pale driftwood that has dried on the beach.
This is an excellent scent that somehow tears away a bit from its designer fragrance category and leans more towards niche brands. It is not overdone, its simplicity only affirms its true beauty in the way nature itelf is not overdone.
Being a water based fragrance, the texture of the scent needs getting used to. It is gel like in texture and sprays on "foamy" and thick if you aim the nozzle too closely to the target.
The longevity is good, perhaps the gel like components do give better delivery and longevity to the scent.
It is definitely worth a try.
I love the new Nautica Oceans...
As a woman's point of view towards a man... I absolutley love it!!! Two thumbs up and then some!
One of the best lotions i have bought.
It is light and is not overpowering but still makes you stand out in a crowd, any crowd.
It makes you feel fresh and crisp and clean.
Its for the younger generation who don't want to smell old and dont want to smell like kids either.
Longetivity is great, no complaints at all.
Oh and theres no alcohol in it so its even better on skin and environment.
Dont know why anyone would smell tabacco cuz it smell nothing like it.
Its lemony and fresh.
Like a really clean feeling.
I'm a fan of Nautica Blue and White Sail. I like Voyage okay, although I thought it was nothing special. Unfortunately I didn't really like Oceans at all.
On me, the opening was VERY similar to CK Eternity, which isn't totally a bad thing. The dry down is quite different though. It was a little powdery smelling, and I really thought it smelled a lot like tobacco, even though I know there is no tobacco in it. Didn't like this phase of it at all.
Since I like other Nautica fragrances, it was worth a try, but I won't be buying this one.
