Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Nautica Acqua Rush Gold opens with a burst of fruit and citrus: pitahaya, grapefruit, apple, lime, bergamot and Italian green mandarin orange, with seaweed adding a marine edge. The heart moves to sea water and water lily, with jasmine, violet, pink pepper and nutmeg giving a little floral and spicy detail. The base of sandalwood, moss, amber, cedar, vetiver and musk adds woody depth beneath the freshness. Overall it is a bright, watery scent with a clean finish.
