Classic by Nautica is an eau de toilette that opens on aldehydes, lime and coriander and settles into sandalwood, amber and patchouli. It reads mostly green and woody on our scent profile, at a moderate strength. Its least common notes on our list are cyclamen and caraway, in the aromatic and woody family. Below are the closest on our list. Similar isn't identical, so try a sample before a full bottle if you can.
