When you love a cologne, you repeatedly return to the same scent. Nautica Voyage is one of those colognes which you come running to.
It has been a while since it was released, but its fandom is yet to decrease. Even though the price of Voyage is already affordable, sometimes it is common to look for alternatives so that you can enjoy the same scent with different twists.
I have been testing many colognes to search for the most alike ones to Voyage. And now, I am going to discuss those colognes.

The longevity of Nautica Voyage is great. It will last 7 hours on your skin. Man of any age can pull off Voyage.

Nautica Midnight Voyage
Top note is Mint;
Middle note is Pink Pepper;
Base note is Amber.
We always love when we get to upgrade from what we are using now. Having Midnight Voyage will give you a similar feeling. It is a newer version of Voyage. And the newer version means it is more modem.
As Voyage became a popular scent of Nautica, it made many flankers of Voyage. Not all of them are up to the mark.
However, Midnight Voyage has proven that it is a good flanker of Voyage. It has similar traits to Voyage with its own unique characters.
Mint provides a fresh opening, just like Voyage. The florals of Voyage are replaced with pink pepper, which brings the uniqueness of Midnight Voyage. And the cologne finishes with amber.
If you see the note breakdown, you will see that Midnight Voyage only has 3 notes, which means it is a straightforward cologne but very effective.
When to wear?
Midnight Voyage is less versatile than the original Voyage as it is strictly for summer and spring.

Tommy Bahama Maritime Journey
Top notes are Green Apple, Lavender and Guatemalan Cardamom;
Middle notes are Violet, Wild Orchid and Coriander;
Base notes are Clearwood, Moss and Cedar.
Maritime Journey, a release by Tommy Bhama in 2019, has many resemblances with Voyage. But, sadly, Tommy Bahama has stopped producing Maritime Journey anymore.
The opening of Maritime Journey is much fresher than that of Voyage. It is filled with crisp apple, lavender and coriander. Lavender brings calmness to the scent, like always.
As time passes, the cologne shifts to a combination of cardamom and cedar. With the fading of violet, moss and wood come out in the dry down. This cologne’s only two constant notes are lavender and apple, which makes the cologne fresh.
The fruity notes are missing here; therefore, the sweet aspect of the fragrance won’t be found in Maritime Journey.
With moderate projection power, you will get a longevity of 6 to 7 hours, which is not terrible. People around you will notice your scent. The performance is sufficient but not outstanding with the price you are paying for the cologne.
When to wear?
The light and fresh cologne is best for summer and springtime.
Why should you wear it?
- Much fresher than Voyage.
