Is Ciara 80% stronger than the regular Ciara cologne?

Yes. The 80% denotes a higher concentration than standard Ciara cologne, so it projects more and lasts longer. Apply less than you would of the lighter version.

Is Ciara a good everyday scent?

It can be, but it is a heavy oriental with strong musk and vanilla. Most wearers treat it as an evening or cool-weather scent and use one or two sprays.

What does Ciara smell like?

It opens with raspberry, bergamot, lemon and neroli, moves into jasmine, ylang-ylang, orris and palmarosa, and dries down to musk and vanilla. The overall effect is sweet, resinous and powdery.

How long does it last?

The 80% cologne typically lasts six to eight hours on skin and longer on fabric. Longevity varies with skin type and how much you apply.

Is this the same formula as the original 1973 Ciara?

It is the same Ciara line, but reformulations over the decades mean current bottles can smell slightly different from vintage ones. Many buyers still find it close.

What size is the bottle?

This is a 2.3 oz spray bottle, a standard full size for the Ciara line.

Our take on the Revlon Ciara 80% Cologne Spray 2.3 oz

Ciara is Revlon's 1973 oriental chypre, a rich blend of raspberry, bergamot and lemon over jasmine, ylang-ylang and orris, resting on musk and vanilla. This is the 80% cologne concentration in a 2.3 oz spray, the stronger of the Ciara strengths and the one most longtime wearers prefer. It is a heavy, sweet-resinous scent built for evening and cool weather rather than a light daytime spritz. The 4.6 rating from 454 ratings reflects a loyal following; it is a legacy drugstore fragrance, so expect vintage character, not a modern designer profile.
