Kananga Water

Your scent should be as personal as your style. When shopping for a cologne you need take in to account a number of factors. Do you need a strong or subtle fragrance? Something classic or modern? How does the way you smell work with your outfit? How does it reflect your personality even? Really though, there's only one way to get it right, and that's just to try them out and see what works for you.

Kananga Water is an woody, potent traditional cologne based upon the essential oil of Ylang Ylang. It originates from Jamaica and is also popular amongst the African community in London. Rather like Florida Water Kananga is widely used within voodoo culture where it is viewed as a kind of holy water.

I'd recommend Murray & Lanman's inexpensive variety. You can find it in most African hair shops or even on ebay. Dash a little on the face as an aftershave. It's particularly warming on a cold winters day. Only put a little on though. Kananga Water is powerful stuff, masculine in an old fashioned way.
