Nautica

Nautica was founded in 1983 by Ralph Lauren protégé David Chu. The brand originally focused on creating clothing that reflected the adventurous lifestyle of sailors.

Nautica began launching perfumes in 1992 and has since developed a successful line of fragrances, primarily for the active, adventurous man. Nautica's fragrances are generally fresh, fruity, and woody, often with elements reminiscent of the sea, adventure, and nature. They are positioned as fragrances for younger men who appreciate the power of nature and the ocean.

The perfumers who have worked on Nautica fragrances, such as David Apel, John D. Domitille and Alberto Morillas, have all created scents that capture the power of the sea and nature, focusing on fragrances that are accessible, fresh and dynamic for the brand's active audience.
