Canoe vs Tabu

Dana Canoe is respected within the r/fragrance community as a classic drugstore fragrance with surprising quality and sophistication, particularly in its original vintage formulation. The community recognizes it as an undervalued gem that could have been positioned as a luxury fragrance, though it remains somewhat out of fashion and harder to find today.

Tabu by Dana is a classic vintage fragrance that maintains a devoted but niche following among collectors who appreciate strong, traditional scents. While praised for its powerful projection and nostalgic quality, it is often perceived as dated and polarizing due to its intensity, limiting its appeal in contemporary fragrance discussions.
