CWC is an independent niche perfume brand from the Salzkammergut region of Upper Austria. Founded in 2021, it creates unisex Eau de Parfums inspired by Austria’s landscape, culture and way of life.

At the heart of CWC are GREEN STAG and GREYFLAME. Their names are taken from decorative patterns by GMUNDNER Keramik and carried into fragrance: GREEN STAG reflects alpine freshness, clarity and vibrant nature, while GREYFLAME expresses warmth, depth, sensuality and cultural elegance. Both have a fragrance oil concentration of 20% and can be worn separately or together.

The 75 ml editions are finished with handcrafted GMUNDNER ceramic sleeves, giving the bottles a distinctly Austrian character. Once the fragrance is finished, the ceramic remains as a reusable design object.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CWC · EAU DE PARFUM

What is CWC · Eau de Parfum?
CWC · Eau de Parfum is an Austrian niche perfume brand with two distinctive unisex fragrances: GREEN STAG and GREYFLAME. Both combine a clear sense of origin, a 20% fragrance oil concentration and a strong design identity.

Is CWC an Austrian perfume brand?
Yes. CWC comes from Gmunden am Traunsee in Austria’s Salzkammergut region. The brand draws on Austrian nature, culture and everyday life, treating Austria not simply as a place of origin but as a source of inspiration: clear air, landscape, craftsmanship, hospitality, culture and memories of special moments.

Who is behind CWC?
CWC was founded by Claudia and Christoph Wagner. What began as a personal idea combining fragrance and design became the CWC brand and CWC Handels GmbH, based in Gmunden, in 2021. It remains a personally run Austrian business.

What does CWC stand for?
CWC stands for Claudia and Christoph Wagner. The name grew out of a personal symbol originally designed for cufflinks for the founders’ wedding. That symbol later developed into the CWC signet and visual identity.

Why are the fragrances called GREEN STAG and GREYFLAME?
The names refer to decorative patterns by GMUNDNER Keramik. GREEN STAG is inspired by the stag motif, while GREYFLAME refers to the grey-flamed ceramic design. It is one of the ways CWC brings fragrance, Austrian craftsmanship and regional design together.

Which fragrances does CWC offer?
The core collection has two distinct characters. GREEN STAG is fresh, clear, green and uplifting. GREYFLAME is warm, deep and sensual. Together they express two sides of Austria: alpine nature and cultural elegance.

What is GREEN STAG?
GREEN STAG is the fresher side of CWC. Citrus notes, green accents, aromatic herbs and light woods recall alpine air, nature and the ease of a day in the Salzkammergut. The result is clear, lively and distinctive.

Is GREEN STAG right for me?
GREEN STAG suits people who enjoy fresh, green and citrus-led fragrances. Alpine, uplifting and naturally elegant, it is a unisex Eau de Parfum with a character of its own rather than a conventional women’s or men’s scent.

What is GREYFLAME?
GREYFLAME is the warmer, more sensual side of CWC. Spices, woods and softer notes give the fragrance depth, richness and an elegant presence. It evokes culture, evening atmosphere and memorable occasions without becoming loud or heavy.

Is GREYFLAME right for me?
GREYFLAME suits people who enjoy warm, woody and sensual fragrances with depth. Opulent yet refined, it is a unisex Eau de Parfum with a distinctive presence rather than a conventional women’s or men’s scent.

Which CWC fragrance should I choose?
If you prefer fresh, citrus and green notes, GREEN STAG is the natural place to start. If you favour warmer, more sensual and deeper notes, GREYFLAME may suit you better. The CWC Fragrance Set 2 × 20 ml is designed for anyone who would like to discover both.

Are CWC fragrances for women or men?
GREEN STAG and GREYFLAME are unisex fragrances. They were created for people who appreciate distinctive scent profiles rather than being defined strictly as women’s or men’s perfumes. Both develop differently depending on skin, style and application.

What does a 20% fragrance oil concentration mean?

How should I apply CWC · Eau de Parfum?
Apply to warm areas of the skin such as the neck, décolletage, wrists or behind the ears. Avoid rubbing the fragrance after application. Take care with pale or delicate fabrics, as perfume may leave marks on textiles.

Can GREEN STAG and GREYFLAME be layered?

How should I layer GREEN STAG and GREYFLAME?
