For those of you who know it, the original Kanon was introduced back in '67. Recently, the brand was sold off to Palm Beach Beaute by its original owners, Scannon. PBB decided to add to the line with a more "modern" cologne, aptly named Norwegian Wood.
First, the appearance. This is a light amber coloured cologne, in a very unique bottle that has a massive wooden cap. The quality of the atomizer is very good.
Next, the cologne. This is very sweet compared to the original, with a ton of woods present. I don't think this is a "synthetic" smelling scent compared to most of the colognes on department store shelves today. Drydown is very warm, and it has massive staying power.
Finally, the intent. I think in making a cologne with this degree of sweetness, it was intended for younger men, perhaps for everyday wear. I'd suggest using it very sparingly, since its sillage goes quite far from the body. I've been told by the company that people who prefer a "classic" scent should try the original Kanon, and I'm inclined to agree. It has a more powdery, less sweet drydown, for one.
