    The first time I tried it, I didn’t like it.
    I thought: what a horrible thing. But this often happens to me, when the fragrance I test is diametrically opposed to the one I am using at that moment or the one I could be using since I like to change fragrance depending on the season or my mood at that moment, so possibly at that time I didn’t have the right mood to appreciate the grandeur of this little treasure.
    What happened was that one day I saw the announcement of this in a magazine and I make a comment about it in front of my girlfriend at that time (now she’s my wife).
    The funny thing about this whole thing is that she misunderstood the comment and she thought I like the fragrance, so she decided to give it to me as a present for my birthday in June.
    Then was when I really discovered Voyageur and also how different can be perceived the same fragrance depending on what I have already mentioned.
    I fell in love with Voyageur (and much more about my wife).
    It will always bring me memories of those crazy, euphoric and unbridled days of love between two young lovers.
    I will always love you Voyageur. I will always love you my darling.

    Perfumer Jean Kerléo, co-founder of l’Osmothèque, creator of the exquisite Patou 1000, must have dreaded having to make an aquatic men’s fragrance in 1995. What he created is at least an interesting comment on life post-Cool Water.
    Even in 1995 the release of an aquatic fragrance would have been met with tedium and low expectation. It was 7 years after the release of Cool Water, and while there had been hundreds of imitators, Cool Water was still king. In fact Cool Water created another slot to be filled in the roster of every perfume house. A new genre had been created! Each one needed an aquatic/calone/fougère fragrance in their line-up, and the challenge was to create one that met the expectations of the market and at the same time reflected your brand. Tough for Patou. Aqua-Joy anyone? Sublime Water?
    The crux of this dilemma is creating something to reflect your brand while at the same time appealing to the broad masculine market. This genre, the fruity masculine aquatics, had a cultish aspect to it and straying from the known was tacitly discouraged. Once a certain safe island of perfume is reached by men, change is considered a threat to self image.
    Kerléo’s solution? So far as I can tell, what Jean Kerléo did was to create a pleasant, recognizable citric aquatic top note, then fold it into a mossy, woody base. The result is a perfume that had recognizability in the form of a pan-masculine aquatic note, but had a warmer dry down than Cool Water’s chilly metallic vibe. It seems like a slapdash approach, a little of this, a little of that, stir and spritz. But I must say that this is the most appealing of the aquatics I’ve smelled. The top note is an aquatic collage, but it doesn’t appear to have been made by rote, and has a tangy citric astringency in lieu of a clanging metal note.
    The overall effect is that Kerléo has managed to make a demi-chypre out of Cool Water DNA. While Voyageur doesn’t have quite the classic ambery dry down of a chypre, the top note of grapefruit stands in for bergamot and a large helping of oakmoss does the rest.
    How tragic that the solution to this ongoing problem was a material that was being curtailed out by regulation. Voyageur was doomed from the start.

    I wanted to try Voyageur for quite a while. I love Patou pour homme and was curious about another creation of Kerleo.
    Voyageur gets mixed reviews and I’m somewhere in the middle. A bit boring fragrance. The top notes are forgettable. In the drydown there is something I like, fruity and fresh but it’s faint and weak. Too bad, I expected more of this!
    6/10
    Edit: tried it again today. It is lacking some excitement. However, I like it more now, it’s actually quite natural smelling. Lots of green. Maybe I should increase my grade:
    7/10

    The first thing I can say about this one is that it is not nearly as bright-smelling as I expected it to be. I get fleeting citrus notes and possibly some lavender at the beginning that are already getting overwhelmed by a very mossy base. In fact this strong base pretty much obliterates everything in its path, and thus the fragrance quickly ends up smelling deep and masculine, but dour (analogous to a murky brown-grey-purplish hue: puce) and not worthy of any compliments IMO. Perhaps this is how it was intended to smell as it does have an authentic marine/oceanic smell, albeit more like Bognor Regis beach on a cold overcast day replete with seaweed and other decomposing wooden debris, rather than the sunny Med. On a more positive note, the bijou deep blue bottle and silver lid are quite classy and elegant.
    I clearly remember I had the chance to buy Voyageur when it was launched in 1995 but rejected the idea due to its lack of excitement and interest. I feel that something is missing in its composition. Thus for a much nicer and more complete take on this kind of smell, I recommend you try Aqua Quorum, which has a remarkably similar deep mossy base but somehow manages to retain an appealing freshness and “joie de vivre” throughout its development with the judicious use of grapefruit and freesia.

    I use to wear it daily for many years!!! great scent!!! masculine and elegant!!!
    It´s very sad that it´s discontinued… I still have the metal ship, I put a glass on it and it´s now a candle holder in my room looking very elegant, it´s one of my favorites objects ever!!!

    A shame it is discontinued, a very nice floral, woody scent.

    They call this a ‘woody aromatic’, but there’s something so marine-like about ‘Voyageur’ (maybe the name is misguiding my nose). The bottle looks generic and non-descript — likewise smells the juice. Very basic — smells ‘unskilled’ if I can say so. A `Perfume School Confidential` kind of a thing.If you don’t like to stand out in a crowd, wear it.
