Dana Classics – Canoe: Rocking The Fragrance Industry For Over 75 Years

What do you call a fragrance that combines adventure with ardor; playfulness with personality, and is a homage to a master perfumer of the 20th Century? You needn't look far, and better still it comes with a surprisingly modest price tag. Queue Canoe, the signature fragrance from the House of Dana that encompasses the vital elements of masculinity, jostling key notes and a legacy stretching back over 75 years. The brain-child of critically acclaimed Roure-Bertrand perfumer Jean Carles; Dana Classics Canoe represents one of the first masculine fragrances from the House of Dana, and one which would ultimately set a trend for 'fragrances with a twist' for many years to come.

 

 

 

Contemporary, yet captivating, the luscious Fougére (fern) family fragrance is a heady concoction of citrus notes and complimentary clary sage, which slowly give way to a crisp, coquettish scent of blithe and lively proportions. Despite the full bodied compilation, Dana Classics Canoe is far from over-powering, more a gradating scent that slow molds with the body's own heat and personality. Avid fans of Canoe will freely admit they use the fragrance sparingly, however this is due to the purity of the fragrance concentration – cologne being the strongest concentration you can get, without any dilution.

 

 

 

The Female Allure

 

Whether you have been happily married for many years, or venturing onto the dating circuit three weekends a month; the adaptable character of Canoe ensures that it is versatile enough for all occasions. From the extensive range of Dana Classics sumptuous fragrances, Canoe continues to top the polls when it comes to its influence upon/ response from women. Husbands report their wives purposefully buying, just to enjoy the nostalgia of their dating youth. Single men complement the clean, yet musky nature of Canoe, which always seems to attract compliments of the female variety. There's something just so playful, yet wistful about this inherently timeless fragrance that continues to boost its mainstream edge, against some of the more modern couture houses of recent years.

 

 

 

Making A Splash

 

Diving into the scent head first, one will be pleasantly surprised at the subtleness of the obvious floral. Carnation and Bourbon Geranium set the foundations for a sweetness which gradually dissipates, as the heart notes jostle for your attention. Such mellowness paves the way for the seductive stage that combines patchouli and musk, with the lean-close allure of the Tonka Bean – itself an interestingly fragrant seed that produces a slightly bitter, yet sweet scent often misconceived to be vanilla. Interestingly, the coumarin essence taken from the Tonka Bean seed is widely used within the perfume industry, yet also as an aromatic substitute within tobacco products. It could explain why there is an element of the 'green' scent one associates with fresh tobacco leaves. Smoky base-notes in the form of cedar wood and heliotrope polish the natural essence of Canoe, even adding a little spice to the citrus kick for that bracing element that so many colognes lack.

 

 

 

Perhaps one of Canoe's key attributes is the sheer plethora of notes used within its pyramid. Modern scents to range between 5-7 integral aromas, whereas the daring concoction of Canoe blends a heady eleven. It could also explain why Canoe's sillage is comparably more extended than many other colognes, as patchouli and oakmoss are the perfect partnership for the building of other note groups.

 

 

 

A Venerable Classic

 

There are few venerable colognes still kicking within the fragrance industry; many having been discontinued, or even re-branded as their parent companies were taken over. Canoe is one of the few archaic fragrances that has continued to defy expectation, even competing with some of the most popular contemporary colognes on the market. Dana Classics Canoe still remains true to when Jean Carles signed off the first batch for retail sale, its character and personality still as refreshing and contemporary, as the year from whence it came. If you're seeking an adventurous aftershave or cologne with a kick, this could be a surprisingly worthwhile investment, and one which could become an addiction for the woman/ women in your life!

If you know much about perfumes, help me!?

I'm trying to find a perfume that smells like my favourite room fragrance. It states the fragrance consists of bourbon vanilla and grapefruit zest with under tones of coriander and jasmine. Any ideas of something similar?

or you could always buy Essential oils and mix them together and make your own perfume.
