💎 Rich, Opulent & Timelessly American — Revlon Ciara
Ciara by Revlon is one of the most richly composed and historically significant American feminine fragrances ever created — a bold, opulent oriental chypre of extraordinary depth, complexity, and genuine luxury that stood alongside the great French orientals of its era and asked to be judged on equal terms. Launched in 1973 — the same landmark year as Charlie — Ciara was built on a foundation of natural ingredients of exceptional quality, anchored by a heavy, rich amber-musk-oakmoss base that defined the golden age of American oriental perfumery. Vintage formulations of Ciara are especially prized by collectors for their oakmoss-rich bases, natural civet, and ingredient quality that modern reformulations cannot replicate. These are genuine vintage bottles — the Ciara that collectors seek.
📖 The House & Fragrance History
- House: Revlon — the legendary American beauty and fragrance company founded in 1932 in New York City by Charles Revson, Joseph Revson, and chemist Charles Lachman; one of the most storied names in global beauty history and one of the great American fragrance houses of the 20th century
- Fragrance: Revlon Ciara — a bold, opulent oriental chypre of extraordinary richness and complexity; built on a foundation of natural amber, oakmoss, civet, and musk of exceptional quality; Revlon’s most luxurious and technically ambitious feminine fragrance; often cited as one of the greatest American orientals ever created
- Launched: 1973 — the same landmark year as Charlie; while Charlie spoke to independence and freedom, Ciara spoke to opulence, sensuality, and unapologetic luxury; a fragrance for the woman who understood that great perfume was an art form and wore it accordingly
-
The Strength System: Ciara was uniquely marketed in multiple “strength” levels — a distinctive Revlon innovation for this fragrance that allowed buyers to choose their preferred concentration intensity:
• 80 Strength — the lighter, more wearable everyday concentration; still rich and full by any modern standard
• 100 Strength — the fullest, most intense concentration; the richest, most opulent expression of the Ciara composition; the collector’s choice - Vintage Formulation: These are vintage bottles from the original production era — formulated before IFRA restrictions required the removal or reduction of oakmoss, natural civet, and other ingredients that defined Ciara’s legendary character; vintage Ciara is significantly richer, deeper, and more complex than any modern version
- Perfumer: Bernard Chant — one of the most revered perfumers of the 20th century; also responsible for Cabochard, Aromatics Elixir, and Clinique’s Wrappings; his work on Ciara is considered a masterpiece of American oriental perfumery
- Fragrance Family: Oriental Chypre / Rich Amber Feminine
- Concentration: Concentrated Cologne Spray — Revlon’s intensive cologne format for Ciara; richer and longer-lasting than standard cologne
- Country of Origin: USA 🇺🇸
💎 Scent Profile — Opulent, Rich & Magnificently Deep
- Top Notes: Aldehydes, bergamot, lemon, neroli, peach, green notes
- Heart Notes: Rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, orris, lily of the valley, carnation, geranium
- Base Notes: Oakmoss, civet, amber, musk, sandalwood, vetiver, benzoin, labdanum, cedarwood
Ciara opens with a luminous, slightly green aldehydic-citrus accord that gives way almost immediately to one of the richest, most complex floral hearts in American fragrance history — rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang woven together with orris into something genuinely opulent. The base is where Ciara becomes legendary — oakmoss, civet, natural amber, and labdanum creating a dark, rich, animalic oriental dry-down of extraordinary depth and longevity. In vintage formulation, the oakmoss and civet are present in their unrestricted glory — this is Ciara as it was intended to be experienced.
