Revlon Ciara is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1973, created by Harry Cutler. Ciara opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Neroli, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Rosewood, Jasmine, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Cedar, and Vanilla. Revlon's Ciara carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Ciara is a divisive, full-bodied throwback capturing the wild, untamed spirit of the 70s. It's a statement piece, unashamedly vintage, and certainly not for everyone, but if you're prepared for its powerhouse embrace, it offers remarkable depth for its price.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Also Works:
Casual

Ciara is a beast with incredible sillage and longevity, making it far too overpowering for an office setting. It shines in cooler weather, perfect for intimate date nights or casual outings where its warm, resinous character can be appreciated. While too informal for strict formal events, its unique character could suit a relaxed, bohemian formal gathering.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a rich, sweet and smoky embrace, starting with a hint of bright raspberry and neroli, quickly giving way to a dominant core of syrupy opoponax and incense. This is supported by warm, balsamic amber, powdery orris, and a subtle, lived-in leather, all underpinned by a soft, musky vanilla. It's a complex, resinous journey, full of comforting warmth and an undeniable sense of mystery.
