About the Product
Canoe cologne by Dana is an aromatic fougere fragrance for men that debuted in 1938 behind the nose of perfumeeer Jean Carles. It is a true classic scent. It is a very clean and aquatic scent.

Fragrance Family:
Spicy
Scent Type:
Aromatic, sweet, powder
Notes:
Canoe is a clean scent with top notes of lavender standing out clearly. It is nostalgic, with citrus mingling with spice and cedar in the middle notes to provide a sporty and masculine presentation. The hints of floral coming through the various notes help keep it from becoming too strong or overwhelming. Musk and oakmoss in the base add a touch of masculine energy that tame the sweetness in the other notes.
Suggested Use
For long-lasting fragrance that you can carry throughout the day and to minimize the need for reapplying, focus on your pulse points behind your ears, at the base of your neck and on your wrists as well as warmer areas of the body, such as behind the knees and inside the elbow. These are the best places to apply your fragrance since the scent intensifies by the warmth of your body.

I'm disappointed.
I used this in the long ago past. This doesn't have the aroma that I remember. I also note that the launch date for this was 1996. I used it starting as far back as the 1950s. Also, the bottle is different. Instead of round it is oval shaped. That makes me wonder. My last complaint is it fades away in a very brief time.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Kinda weird
It ostensibly is an original Dana product but I don't recognize it. I haven't even looked for Canoe for years, but I inherited a taste for it from my dad and used it for years and years. I tripped over this by chance and laid out a bunch of money for it. It has a resemblance to the original but I won't be using it.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

SIGNATURE FRAGRANCE ONCE AGAIN!
CANOE, after DRAKKAR «GOLD» (which is now sadly and unexplicably «gone forever» usurped by a ghastly imitation «Drakkar Noir») was my «go to» fragrance for years until it became difficult/impossible to find in the various cities where I was living. I bought 2 large bottles and will reorder while In still have a full one in reserve to be sure to not run out. If DRAKKAR «GOLD» ever returns ity would nbecome #1 but CANOE definitely #2.

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Classic Fragrance
Canoe fills the void between "your father's" after shave and the more complex "designer" fragrances of today. It is a classic scent, economical, and can be used any time, any day, for any occasion.

Barbershop Scent
This is definitely one of those scents that you either love or loathe. It's a classic, fresh, barbershop scent that has a bit of a punch out of the atomizer. It's almost medicinal in smell. If you like barbershop scents, then go ahead a grab a bottle. Otherwise, stay away.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Note to "nostalgia addict" review 6/6/21.
Started using Canoe in college. Then it was also available in less powerful After Shave which probably explains the above user's disappointment with the stronger Eau de Toilette version.

Not the same
I was so happy that Canoe is still available. But, I'm disappointed that it really doesn't smell like the canoe I used to wear. They claim it's the same formula, but It's much stronger and more woodsy. One's smell memory is one of the strongest senses. This did not pass the smell test. It's different. I'm sorry that I ordered the large bottle. If you are looking for canoe nostalgia...this isn't it. It's not bad, just a little to strong for my taste. It's not the canoe that I wore daily in my youth.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Blind buy
Bought this after finding out hai karate was a cheap knock off of this and another old time fragrance, smells lovely but I would expect a cologne to last most of the day, unfortunately this doesn't, shame really as it's a lovely smell.

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
