Navy-A Less Exotic Version Of Tabu To Use During The Sunlit Hours
Always a reason why some scents stick around and that's because they just smell good and Dana's Navy just does. It has staying power, and a little spritz goes a long way. It's inexpensive, and its scent will remind you of a musky, patchouli, amber with a hint of vanilla essence in the background. I compare it to the daytime version of Tabu, or the good girl version of Tabu if there is such a creature. Navy is just a nice scent that isn't overbearing. In its initial spray, there is some peachiness, followed by a hint of rose. These notes dissipate rather quickly. It's the drydown that I love. Once the basenotes appear, the muskiness definitely stays with the amber, the vanilla and a slight scent of cinnamon begin to intermingle. It's a very wholesome type of scent. The fragrance has staying power to last all day, which is wonderful for an inexpensive product. If you enjoy an oriental perfume, try Navy. You just might be surprised. It packs a lot in its scent that keeps circling around the base notes in a pleasant surprise all day long. An old favorite that I'll just keep handy for when I want to feel good about myself. It bears repeating that Navy is not so much a watered-down version of Tabu, but it is a less sultry version of it. If Tabu is your night perfume, then Navy would be the one you'd reach for during the day.

A sweet, oriental floral fragrance
Now I'm taking another look at an older miniature. I actually quite liked the scent of Navy, but the longevity on my skin is quite poor at around 6 hours. The sillage is correspondingly restrained.

The top note has a greenish, spicy and oriental scent of cloves, cinnamon, coriander, nutmeg and a little allspice. The heart note offers a sweet sea of flowers consisting of jasmine blossom, ylang-ylang, tuberose, rose water, neroli and orange blossom. The base remains on the sweet side and offers bourbon vanilla, amber and some musk.

I think this fragrance is not so well received because it is one of the more "cheap" ones. I think the fragrance DNA is really successful. Only the performance could be a lot better, but with the price you can spray it again.
