Nautica Competition

by David Chu

What's it like?...: Have you smelled Xeryus Rouge? Then you've smelled Nautica Competition. They're so similar it's rediculous. Both of their top notes are very sweet, which is from the kumquat fruit, but Competition has a burst of mint added to it.
When to wear it...: Well, not to the gym - THAT'S for sure. It's too thick of a sweetness - you'll begin gagging before you even get to your second set. It's more of a casual Fall fragrance.
How it lasted on me...: ALL day.
The bottle...: Kinda cool ~ It's a cylindrical bottle with a rubberized blue/silver outer shell. The black spray nozzle attaches to the bottle by way of a thick rubber flap.
Miscellaneous details...: Their bag gift-with-purchases are VERY high quality. They ALWAYS sell out ~ so get it when you see it.
In my opinion...: I rated it a 3 because of the quality of ingredients and lasting ability. Other than that, if I want to smell this sweet, I'll roll around in a fruit bowl thank you.
