What You'll Learn
Navy perfume's ownership
Navy perfume was originally created by CoverGirl in 1990 as a women's fragrance. A men's fragrance was later released in 1995 (or 1996, according to FragranceX). CoverGirl is the only perfume ever made by the company. The perfume brand was eventually acquired by Dana Classic Fragrances.
Dana Navy has received mixed reviews from perfume enthusiasts. Some describe the scent as "classy," with a "signature spiciness" from its coriander note. Others say it is a "pretty" bottle with a "nice" but "generic rose" scent. One reviewer describes the women's fragrance as "soft, a little warm, amber, spicy, [and] floral." The men's fragrance is described as containing "juniper berry, leather, tangerine, nutmeg, geranium, sage, water lily, water mint, lavender, siam wood, balsam fir, and musk."
There is some uncertainty about whether Dana Navy has been discontinued. One source indicates that they contacted Dana, and the company responded that they are "transitioning production to the U.S." and provided a list of perfumes they would be releasing soon, which included Navy. However, another source mentions that their "usual online stores" are out of stock, and prices on eBay seem to have increased significantly, suggesting that the perfume may no longer be in production.
Despite the uncertainty, Dana Classic Fragrances still appears to be selling Navy for Women on its website, indicating that the perfume may still be in production and available for purchase through select retailers.
