Kanøn · 2010

Citrus · Floral · Sweet

Eau de Toilette

Kanøn Norwegian Wood Eau de Toilette is a men's fragrance that sets the brightness of grapefruit and lemon against the soft warmth of sandalwood, cedarwood and vanilla. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, though the small number of votes means these ratings are tentative. It suits anyone who wants a scent that stays close to the skin rather than announcing itself. It opens with grapefruit, key lime and lemon, with aniseed adding a spicy edge. The heart of lavender, frankincense and jasmine moves into a floral, slightly smoky stretch. The base of sandalwood, cedarwood and vanilla settles into a sweet, creamy, powdery woodiness, with Haitian vetiver giving it an earthy depth.
