Chypre – This is the French word for Cyprus, and it is pronounced as "sheepra". It typically describes fragrances that have sparkling floral and citrus notes laid over dark and earthy bases of patchouli, oak moss, woods and labdanum. This is a fragrance family, but fragrance families are largely subjective so a variety of different fragrances may fit into this category.
Cistus – This word is used to describe Labdanum perfume scents.
Citron – This is a type of citrus fruit tree that is often known as the cedrat lemon. It is not actually a true lemon, but it is related to both limes and lemons. The citron note is derived from the peel of the fruit, which is used in perfume scents.
Civet – A civet is a cat that resembles a fox and is related in family to the mongoose. The musk of a civet is produced through a gland at the base of the tail. Most modern perfume scents actually utilize a synthetic fixative that is meant to resemble natural civet musk.
Clary Sage – This is an herb that, when in essential oil form, is described as being both bittersweet and sweet in scent, and it has nuances of tobacco, hay and amber.
Clou de Girofle – This is the French word for clove perfume scents.
Coffret – This is the word for a gift box or a gift set. Coffrets may include a number of perfume scents, or a specific fragrance and accompanying body products.
Copahu Balm – This is also known as Copaiba basalm and is oil that is derived from the Copaifera family of trees. Copahu balm has a complex perfume scent that has been described as being mild, sweet and peppery.
Coumarin – This is a compound which can smell similarly to vanilla. It is typically derived from the Tonka Bean, however it can also be found in sweet grass, lavender and a number of other plants. It has been banned in the United States as a food additive because of toxicity issues, but it can be used in anti-coagulants, rat poisons and oddly enough, also as a valuable component in many perfumes and incense.
Cuir – This is the French word for leather perfume scents.
Cypriol – This is a type of essential oil that is derived from the Indian papyrus. Sometimes the Cypriol term is used in an interchangeable nature with the word papyrus when listing perfume notes.
Davana – This is an oil that is derived from the Artemisia pallens, and it is described to have an odor that is sweet and fruity in nature.
Elemi – This is a gum resin used in perfume scents that introduces a citrus like fragrance that is fresh, light and balsamic spicy.
Epices – This is the French word for spices, and is commonly used in describing perfume scents.
