What does Canoe (1996) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring, followed by autumn and summer, and the occasions that lead are daily wear, leisure and business. Voters call it masculine more often than anything else, though a fair share see it as feminine.

Bergamot and petitgrain open it with a green, citrus freshness. The heart brings lavender, geranium and fougère notes, with floral and spicy touches alongside. Musk and patchouli settle underneath, softening it into a lightly sweet, woody and powdery base.
