Fragrance information:

Ciao joined the Houbigant portfolio in 1980. A feminine fragrance belonging to the chypre and floral families. Released in eau de parfum.

Expect a very delicate sillage: a quiet, intimate presence. A subtle fragrance: the longevity is low, which suits its gentle character. France is where this fragrance comes from — and it shows. Ciao Houbigant unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The composition of Ciao unfolds as a living composition, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The signature of Houbigant comes through in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum sets a balanced rhythm of unfolding.

The internal accord map rests on these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Gourmet and Floral forming a compact and readable structure. Background accords such as Fruit, Musc, Wood and Powdery expand the olfactory volume in the background. The profile is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read. For persistence Low points to a sustained drydown presence.

From the first breath you detect spicy-green first notes: Basil, Caraway, Fruit note and Green Chord.

In the central layer you meet Black currant leaf, Clove, Hyacinth, Iris, Jasmine and Lily of the Valley carrying a velvety rose-iris direction.

From the group perspective the composition is built around Aromatic, Spicy, Fruit and Green. The framework further includes Citrus, Floral, Wood and Whiteflower.

In summary Ciao reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Low (1 to 2 hours)
2
Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Extremely inconspicuous

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
