“With each discovery, a man comes closer to finding himself,” according to the company.
The mixture of longitude and latitude guides the course of an adventurer. This set of coordinates connects a man to himself and the world as he travels with the freedom of action and choice. With each journey, a man comes closer to finding the answers to the mysteries of his soul, according to company ads.
The scent, created by Firmenich, has top notes of bergamot, fresh-picked tarragon, garden coriander and cool breeze accord. Middle notes feature black tea, aromatic nutmeg, natural patchouli and clean watermint. The drydown infuses Colorado tree moss, precious woods, warm musk and amberwood for a classic sensuality, according to company executives.
Unilever Prestige launched Nautica to meet men’s needs in the marketplace. As men have become more interested in appearance and functional products for active lifestyles, marketers have began to view them as important consumers.
