Ciara vs Opium (1977)

Ciara by Revlon is positioned as a classic vintage fragrance with a spicy, old-school character that sits in the same era as Tabu but leans more toward Bal à Versailles in overall profile. Community opinions suggest it's distinctly different from Shalimar despite frequent comparisons, with a more fruity and spicy approach rather than the incense-heavy powderiness some expect.
