company was started by Javier Serra, a former executive of another Spanish perfume house. Shortly after Dana opened, Javier Serra moved it to Paris, but when France became occupied by Germany in 1940, the company moved again to the United States. It harnessed the impressive power of global marketing to put its perfumes into the hands of consumers all over the world. The company was named after Danae, the mother of Perseus in Greek mythology. Her name is a symbol of feminine beauty. The company’s name was later changed to Dana Classics, and many of the original scents have been updated and are still sold today. After its first fragrance, Tabu, Dana would launch more than 40 scents over the next seven decades. Many of the original scents have been updated and are still sold today.
The most popular Dana perfume on our website is Love’s Baby Soft. Originally released in 1974, this Dana perfume caused quite the controversy with its advertisements, which featured innocent-looking models. The scent itself is a blend of both lighter and more sensual elements, with its fresh, spicy, musky, and floral accords. Geranium provides a lemony, rosy touch to the aromatic profile, joined by the heady essences of rose and jasmine before lavender lends its clean, almost medicinal, smell. Patchouli injects a dark and earthy aroma, enhanced by the sensuality of musk but tamed by the soft sweetness of vanilla.
Our most popular Dana cologne is English Leather. English Leather is a classic Dana cologne that has been on and off the market since 1949, and it continues to be a favorite because of its solid, masculine scent. Opening notes of bergamot and lavender mix with citrus and rosemary for a bracing first act. Middle notes of honey and rose mellow out the sharpness, but the base notes are the ones that last and envelop you in the signature scents of leather, musk, and cedar. The sillage on English Leather is impressive; you can apply this once in the morning, and it will take you through dinner.
