Dana Navy is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1990. Navy opens with Green Notes and Peach, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cinnamon, and Coriander. Dana's Navy carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Navy is a divisive one. For some, it's a nostalgic trip to a warm, ambery past; for others, a harsh, dated misstep. If you skipped it in the 90s, you might struggle with its intense, powdery opening, but give it time - the dry-down often wins people over. Best to try before you commit.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Also Works:
Casual Formal

Navy's powerful sillage and longevity make it less suitable for office wear, as many users describe it as 'loud' and 'strong'. However, its warm, musky-spicy dry-down and sensual nature are well-suited for dates and cooler-weather casual outings, with some finding it appropriate for formal events if applied lightly.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

A potent blend of white and yellow florals, tempered by a rich amber warmth. Initial sprays unleash a formidable peach and green accord, quickly giving way to a heart of opulent jasmine, rose, and ylang-ylang. The dry-down is where Navy really shines, with a cozy, musky amber base, spiced with cinnamon and vanilla, leaving a lasting powdery sweetness on the skin.
