C-Thru Fragrances
C-THRU, a subsidiary of The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. has recently launched a new line of fragrances for young women that celebrates your expression of individuality through vibrant gem-styles and scents.
- C-THRU - A fragrance concept designed to pay tribute to individual personalities with signature colors and scents
- Available in 3 scents
- Ruby: A flirty and feminine scent of vanilla and fruity essences which evokes passion and confidence
- Blue Opal: A fresh and clean scent with hints of sandalwood that celebrates spiritual balance
- Purple Diamond: Infused with plum and black currant suggests mysterious intrigue
Approx. Price: 1.0oz/30ml (SRP: $17) and 2.5oz/75ml (SRP: $25)
Where to Purchase?: Available nationwide at Wal-Mart, Kohl’s and Target.
The Bottom Line: All the scents in this collection are very light, making it ideal for younger women that do not want to shell out money for the high end perfumes. They are all very wearable, but I have to admit that it does have staying power. These perfumes are similar to Bath and Body Works Body Sprays. Out of the three scents, Purple Diamond is my favorite - it’s the far stronger than the other two. If you’re looking for a long-lasting perfume, this probably isn’t for you. But if you want an inexpensive, quick refresher or a perfume newbie- this might be for you!
FAB TIP: Last time I was at Wal-Mart, they had this a gift set that includes these three fragrances for $19.99.

It might be something to try. I just hope that it
doesn’t have a strong lingering rubbing alcohol
smell, since a lot of cheap fragrances do.

Shop In Chic - Nope! C-Thru fragrances does not have that
lingering rubbing alcohol smell. The scent just fades quickly.
A Gal on A Budget - Thank You! =)

I tried the Ruby fragrance, it’s light and very nice, I don’t like heavy smelling perfume. I always by light clean smelling fragrances. Even my higher priced fragrances are always the lighter smelling one’s such as D&G Light Blue and Estee Lauder’s Pleasures Sensuous… so, good job, I love it…

I personally love the blue opal smell. I actually found the c-thru fragrance when I was in Romania. However, the scents were black diamond, emerald isle, and something else. I preferred emerald isle. When I came back to the USA I found that the blue opal scent was most like the emerald isle. I love it!!! I found it at Walmart, however they seem to have discontinued it now. I am so glad to know that I can still find it at target. Please never get rid of it!!! Thank you!
