Harry Cutler
Known from Ciara (Revlon, 1973), which combines bright fruity-citrus top notes of raspberry, neroli, bergamot and lemon with a dense, resinous base of opoponax, incense, leather, vanilla, musk and cedar, suggesting a style that contrasts sparkling openings with heavy amber-oriental drydowns.
About
Harry Cutler was an American perfumer who worked for Revlon and is credited as the nose behind Ciara, the classic amber fragrance for women launched by Revlon in 1973. Multiple fragrance databases, including Fragrantica and commercial listings, name him specifically as the perfumer of Ciara, detailing its raspberry, neroli, bergamot and lemon top notes over a rich base of opoponax, incense, leather, vanilla, musk and cedar. A Symrise feature on perfumer Susan Arslaner notes that Cutler was an avid collector of rare fragrance books, buying and trading them before retirement and donating part of his collection to the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) and to Florasynth.
