Blue Eau de Toilette — Nautica
Eau de Toilette (EDT) from Nautica.
Scent description (editorial impression)
Cheap is part of the point. Owners bring up three-dollar testers and prices they cannot beat about as often as the smell, and one of them calls it a basic blue fragrance and warns you not to expect a lot. What they do smell is water and soap — a poolside shower, in one description — over basil and bergamot, plus a fruit note that starts an argument: one wearer opens with peach and pineapple, another takes his hat off to anyone who can find either. It is worn for running, for the gym and for work, and the staying power divides between two hours and a whole day. The one furious review calls it chemical warfare.
