It has to be the nastiest smelling perfume I have smelled and sadly we all know people who wore it and still wear it. I like heavy scents, but this is just awful....the smell of baby powder and ashtrays mixed with fruit....RUN FROM IT

Somebody once said this smells like a uptown woman (I'd assume NYC) getting out of a cab and leaving a scent behind.
It is a serious fragrance and I am pleasantly surprised at how well it smells on me as opposed to Rumeur which gave me a blinding headache - I just couldn't pin down why. The insense and fruity combine to being quite feminine.
Lately I find I am fond of "heavier" fragrances. It isn't Organza Indence, but it certainly swings. I wonder if "Interlude" has retained it's effusive yet lovely odor.

This stuff is strong and woody smelling. Very sweet and woody indeed! It was popular when I was in high school back in 1979 so this has been around awhile. It has incredible staying power even though it is a cologne-amazing lasting power! I won't ware it anymore but im sure someone does.

a little over-the-top- and it was loved by a friend of mine who was also a little over-the-top :)

this is a very heavy, very sweet smelling fragrance. the vanilla and incense of the base really come through.

it's pleasant but not one of my favorites.

I agree with Aiona. This scent is immediately recognizable. It's my mom's favorite fragrance. She only wears it for special occasions, so for me it brings back really nice memories. A little bit goes a long way, though. This is a rather heavy scent.

I always loved this scent, but it seems to have gained a cheap smelling, alcohol smell. :( I want the old one back.

I loved Ciara when it was first released... how old do I feel ;-)
My foster mother wore it, and I just loved the rich, spicy aroma.
When I became an independent adult it was one of the first things i bought; a small bottle of the 200 strength.
I used it sparingly, and had lots of 'positive comments' from admirers ;-)
I think it would be nasty if used heavily, which thankfully was one thing I was taught not to do by my lovely foster mum.
I have purchased it again, and it seems to have been changed slightly. Still nice, but somehow missing something.
Recently I tried it at the perfume counter, and it still lacks that 'something'.
Even that original bottle, which I have kept all these years, smells richer than the newer formulations.
It's ok to wear when you're at work, but I wouldn't wear it out or on a special occasion any more.
As always, try before you buy, and use lightly.

Ciara is a scent that I should like; I like nearly all the notes and am a die-hard lover of Orientals. But for some reason I just absoultely HATE this scent! Yuck....too strong, too sweet, too.....much.

Goes on glorious, just edible and lovely. Dries down rapidly to a tamer version of Tabu, plus an unfortunate wintergreen note, like muscle-cream. I sure wish the opening notes lasted longer, but that mint note makes it sort of dreadful in the end and I had to wash it off.

This opens extremely spicy, but the drydown is powdery and sweet. It's sweet and original. It is very true though that it is very, very strong. A little will go a long way. Great for winter, it'll give you that cozy feeling.

For me, Ciara was one of those scents that I purchased in my late teens because I thought (hoped) it would make me look and feel like a grownup if I wore it. But I could never reconcile myself to the heavy "incense layered with creme anglaise" character of the scent, so I finally gave it to a friend of mine. She wore it constantly, and truth be told, was never really able to carry it off either. But at least she adored it.

This does have a lot of personality and it says I'm sexy, Independent and I bet you would like to take me home tonight.. Strong, but good... So cheap too, that is so nice to find these days... Sexy woman only...

I'm a fan of fragrances with a big personality, and Ciara is certainly is one of them! Sweet and sexy, this has gigantic sillage, but applied *sparingly* this is one hot scent. Men seem to love it on me. Try it if you enjoy fragrances like Opium - it's not nearly as sophisticated as Opium, but it has the same enveloping quality. For the low price, can't be beat.

This is a very unique scent. Very sweet and very strong. It is nice once in a while,it lasts well. Definitely one of a kind!

a bit vintage

wore this in high school - wow sure is sweet! don't think I could stand it at all now!

Un profumo molto particolare, molto forte.. pero' a me è piaciuto! L'incenso che mi avvolge è sublime.

Aiona

This is such a fascinating scent, to me. It's distinctive, and I can recognize it immediately, when someone is wearing it. It is not a fruity floral (like everything else being put out these days). I recently bought a bottle from Wal-Mart, of all places, and it smells quite different. I don't know if they changed the formulation in order to sell it cheaply. When worn too heavily, it can be suffocating, but it's not forgettable, that's for sure.
