CIE by Jacqueline Cochran: launched in 1976. The Jacqueline Cochran company was acquired by Shulton, a division of American Cyanamid, soon after the fragrance was released and by 1977, CIE was the first new product out of Shulton's new Contemporary Fragrance Group.
In 1977, Shulton hired actress/journalist Candice Bergen to appear in its television commercials and print ads as a spokeswoman to promote the CIE perfume in much the same way as Faberge did with Margaux Hemingway. Candice Bergen's personality changes with the expressions on her face: “I can wear it when I'm Miss Bergen. . .I can wear it when I'm Candice...or when I'm just plain Candy. "CIE goes with all the things I love to do. CIE is soft. CIE is playful. CIE is unpredictable. CIE is me." The campaign lasted well into the 1980s.

So what does it smell like? It was classified as an aldehydic floral chypre fragrance for women. It begins with an aldehydic top, followed by a soft floral heart, resting on a powdery, woody base.
CIE is a carefully orchestrated blend of jasmine, rose and ylang ylang notes, accented with patchouli, vetiver and sandalwood. The effect is light and fresh as the first breath of spring, yet long lasting. An enticing blend of sparkling fresh florals accented with notes of crisp greens and warm spices.
