About This Perfume
Think cool sea air with citrus, green sage: that is Nautica Life Energy. It opens with bergamot, grapefruit and spindrift, moves into sage, ivy and lily of the valley and settles on cedarwood, musk and vetiver. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
It is best in spring and summer and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days and the office. Released in 2015.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
