Dana Classics – Canoe: Putting The Zing Into Every Morning

Dana's slick, suave power-boat of a male fragrance is regarded somewhat a veteran of men's aftershave for it's survival of seven
decades. Born out of the debonair 1930's in glamorous Paris; Canoe is yet another of the classic early Dana fragrances to have
been created by acclaimed perfumer Jean Carles. It's timelessness accounts for it's popularity among both older gents, and a
decidedly new and younger audience, many of whom are experiencing the sophistication of early 20 th Century fashions the
second time around.

Canoe is an oriental with a riddle-like list of complimenting fragrances, yet the discern is far from overpowering. If it had to be
defined, many would concur that Canoe is a subtle spice with a hint of citrus, and an underlying patchouli kick that adds to it's
masculine musk. Dana's Canoe is often described as belonging to the “aromatic Fougére” family of fragrances, all of whom are
characterized by a 'fern-like' base-note combination of fern, lavender and oakmoss. Instilled with the essence of the richly
aromatic South American Tonka Bean; a first nose of Canoe yields a heady waft of spicy cinnamon, sweet vanilla and even
almonds! Cedarwood, slightly milder and woodier than sandalwood, influences a distinctively soothing base note, enlivened by
the citrus zing of lemon, and the energetic blend of clary sage and lavender to top it off.

Canoe: The Personality

Fans of Dana Canoe Cologne are uniformly divided in their opinion of the musky fragrance, with some agreeing the lively
citrus burst and subtle sweetness dry down to a distinctly energetic, and sporty style of fragrance. Conversely, some users
concur that Dana Canoe is a subtle spicy musk, with very gentle floral overtones, even likening it to some of the limited
summer fragrances which reappear annually. Bourbon Geranium could have some influence upon the floral notes, since the
indispensable aromatic oil is often likened to the scent of roses. Rather than impact the fragrance with feminine tones, Bourbon
Geranium contributes to the sweetness of spice and smokiness, that many regard as the finest characters of the fragrance.

Canoe: The Man

With a suave, citrus burst upon first splash, Dana Classics Canoe is undeniably a fresh and awakening scent. Jean Carles (the
perfumer behind the third creation from the House of Dana) was an iconic fragrance enthusiast, attributed with the grouping of
base notes into specific combinations and categories – a system which is still in use today. Aside from his more scientific
achievements, Carles was also an expert in the creation of a fragrance for a particular profile or personality.

With Canoe, the target was to create a fragrance that could be worn from day to night, by the suave, sophisticated outdoor
sporting gentleman of the 30's. His creation certainly lived up to the brief. The complex blend of contrasting spice, citrus and
sweetness combining to offer an energetic, yet slightly sultry aroma, designed to withstand strenuous sport and still exude a
noticeable sillage at the close of the day.

Timeless Versatility

Canoe fans are unanimous in verdict that the cologne sets itself apart from many modern counterparts for one reason –
versatility. Colognes ARE meant to be noticed, yet not to the extent of some brands whose emphasis upon packing in the
patchouli leads to an eye watering, throat tickling vapor. Canoe is fortunate to have been created at the hands of one of France's
premiere perfumers, whose defining work in the field of experimentation led to a striking balance of top and base-notes. The
subtle floral infusions, combined with spice and nutty notes contribute to a fragrance with that morning zing and masculinity,
that dries down to a musky, woody scent that works with the body throughout the day.
