Soap, 1974:

"Revlon: "Cerissa" After the big success of "Charlie," Revlon has produced more fragrances with names which begin with the first initial of the first name of the late Charles Revson first "Ciara" and now "Cerissa" "Cerissa" is a floral bouquet.."

Soap, 1975:

"New fragrance by Revlon, Inc., New York, called "Cerissa," is available as a concentrated spray cologne."

Vogue, 1975:

"A new perfume (and since when wasn't perfume a tool?) is one described as "meant for women who are not afraid to be vulnerable to men." Charles Revson makes it. It's Cerissa — tender, pretty, and totally emotive. 1 ounce, $50."
