C Cindy Chahed, introduced to the world in 1996, sits firmly in the category of a feminine fragrance.
Country of origin — France. C Cindy Chahed unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of C evolves as a living composition, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of Cindy Chahed is recognizable in details that define the fragrance identity. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Green, Citrus, Aromatic and Spicy. It also reaches into Balsamic, Floral and Whiteflower.
Right at the start you catch grassy-green opening notes: Grass, Lemon and Mint. Exactly these 3 notes build morning coolness sensation that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.
In the heart you notice Coriander keeping a warm-spicy direction. In the final layer the composition is fixed through Amber, Cyclamen and Lily of the Valley, reinforcing a viscous balsamic trail.
The accord profile is shaped by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Spicy forming a compact and readable structure. Background accords such as Mineral enrich the profile without taking over. The stylistic positioning is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
In summary C sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best judged on skin.
