Ciara

Ciara is a bold, vintage-inspired oriental fragrance with an intense and long-lasting presence. It opens with sharp, slightly medicinal citrus and a distinct fruity note, reminiscent of raspberry and a sweet, almost syrupy quality that some describe as similar to caramel or cough syrup. This initial burst is powerful and can be overwhelming—so it's best applied sparingly. Over time, it softens into a warm, complex blend of incense, vanilla, balsamic resin, and smoky leather. The drydown is rich, slightly powdery, and deeply aromatic, evoking memories of old libraries, vintage shops, or incense-laden temples. While it carries a strong sillage and remains detectable for hours, its projection can be front-heavy initially, lightening into a more subdued, enveloping aura. The scent is ideal for colder months, particularly autumn and winter, and suits individuals seeking a dramatic, memorable, and deeply nostalgic fragrance. Its resemblance to iconic classics like Shalimar, Tabu, and Bal a Versailles is frequently cited, though it stands on its own with a more retro, bohemian flair.
