A PIECE OF AUSTRIA, CAPTURED IN SCENT
CWC is an independent niche perfume brand from the Salzkammergut region in Upper Austria. Since 2021, the brand has stood for authentic unisex Eau de Parfums that translate Austria’s landscapes, culture and way of life into scent.
At the heart of CWC are GREEN STAG and GREYFLAME. Their names refer to decorative lines of GMUNDNER Keramik and carry them forward in olfactory form: GREEN STAG stands for alpine freshness, clarity and vibrant nature; GREYFLAME for warmth, depth, sensuality and cultural elegance. Both compositions have a fragrance oil concentration of 20% and can be worn individually or together.
The 75 ml editions are finished with handcrafted GMUNDNER Keramik. This turns the perfume into a lasting object: refined, distinctive and unmistakably Austrian.
