New men's fragrance: Kanøn Norwegian Wood


Palm Beach Beauté, the company which acquired the rights to produce the classic Kanøn fragrance in 2008, has announced a new version of the men's scent, set to launch in 2010. The new fragrance is named Kanøn Norwegian Wood.

Palm Beach Beauté describe the new scent as:

...soothing woods and calming aromatics; a mans fragrance close to the source.

With its famed brand signature of highly-defined masculine character Kanøn for Men introduces Kanøn Norwegian Wood. A new mans scent which calms the soul through a specialized mix of perfectly-blended warm, natural woody essences. Impossible to resist and in one movement a perfect state of natural harmony and masculine presence.

The original Kanøn fragrance was launched in 1966 by Scannon.

this is great news !
Yes, I'm looking forward to sniffing it.
...isn't it good Norwegian Wood?
Does Neiman, Saks, or Sephora carry it ?
@silverbullet. I don't think anyone carries it yet. Will update if/when I find out.

Wait for the flanker 'This Bird Has Flown' ...
I wonder if Palm Beach Beauté has realized that "kanøn" doesn't mean anything in norwegian... The closest you get is "kanon" which means "cannon" or "incredibly drunk". Why not "tre" (wood), "bjørk" (birch) or "skog" (forest)?

For a Norwegian the name looks like a spelling mistake. If they plan on launching it in the Scandinavian countries they better get rid of the slash thru the O, at least then it makes (some) sense.
waiting to get it

Kanøn in Danish means "Canoe"... perhaps "Norwegian Canoe Wood"?
Kanøn in Swedish means "Gun".... weirder still...
And doesn't Kanøn in Norwegian mean "Canon"??

Yeah, I think this is just a bunch of logo and packaging creatives throwing random " / 's " (slashes) around in an attempt to make the whole design aesthetic more Scandinavian. And we Northerners are left scratching our heads... lol!
