Fragrance houses

Nautica

4 fragrances, mapped across five axes.

What the Nautica range is made of

75% of the 4 Nautica fragrances Zenyra has mapped contain musk. A house can be described by what it returns to, and Nautica returns to musk more than to anything else — across 4 releases that is a position rather than a coincidence.

On Zenyra's five axes the house reads drier than the catalogue as a whole: sweetness averages 0.13 against 0.40 across all mapped fragrances. That is a wide margin, and it is the clearest thing the data says about this house.

One idea, or many

Nautica releases variations on a theme. Measured as the average spread of its fragrances across all five axes, the range scores 0.039 — narrow. Someone who likes one Nautica fragrance is unusually likely to like the next, and someone who dislikes one probably will not find the exception further down the range.

The median release year across the mapped range is 2006.
