I remember being over excited as a teenager unwrapping my first bottle of perfume from santa, the bottle seemed huge at the time. The smell is very earthy with some oriental spice undertone, it was on the cheap side so seemed to lack the body that other more high market perfumes have meaning it wore off pretty quick, this is why I don't wear it nowadays.

Reviews
On me this smells like a mixture of the original Giorgio beverly hills and the carpet shampoo they use in hotels - that fresh yet chemical smell that hits you when you enter a freshly cleaned industrial building. I actually wore this on and off for years as a teenager along with the rest of the charlie line, recently repurchased for nostalgia and really wish I didn't - it is horrendous on me and perhaps I just didn't realise it all those years ago! Unfortunately this is not the scent for me!
Tips: Try before you buy!
Charlie fragrance has been around for years. There are many colours in the range, I can think of 5. They all come in a box of the colour i.e Charlie Red comes in a red box, Charlie blue comes in a blue box. Being an Eau De Toilette this fragrance is not very intense or long lasting on the body. It is an oriental but with lots of floral notes as well. As this is very affordable I would suggest it for a younger person as a first "grown up" fragrance or for someone on a limited budget. Where I work it is on sale for under $10.00.
I bought this perfume blind because I liked the sound of it. At first it seemed too much - a loud floral. I put it away for a while and then tried again. I smelt roses and honey and now I love wearing it. It's a very comforting perfume
I used this perfume for a good 4 years before changing it (was ready for a change) and I always loved it. It wasnt too strong but lasted all day, its a warm musky rose smell.
Tips: A single spray is sufficient for a day.
This was given to me one Christmas when I was much younger. Someone had bought a bunch of Revlon Charlie fragrances and I unwrapped the red one. I hadn't a lot of experience with fragrance but when I smelt the musky floral scent on me it wasn't something I was crazy about. The top floral and fruit notes faded fast and then the sweet and musk notes hit in. I'm not too fond of this fragrance because I don't really like those notes on me. I did however, like the Silver one which is more citrus floral and very light. Both fragrances didn't last long on me so I wouldn't repurchase, especially since I have gotten into longer lasting, designer fragrances.
This was given to me many years ago by a friends mum who wore it religiously. I would always comment on how much I loved it and she gave me a bottle for my birthday.
At the time I loved this fragrance. It is a really girly scent that is warm and inviting. This lasted all day on my skin when I wore it (although to be fair I basically bathed in it).
As an adult now, however, I really dislike the smell of it. I can only surmise I don't like it just because I wore it SO much during my teen years, and I got sick of the scent.
I think the price for this is incredible and it is a really great perfume for someone that is just getting into fragrances, or for someone who wants something more than a body spray but who doesn't want to spend a lot of money on a fragrance.
I absolutley LOVED this fragrance (and still do) however I have kind of grown out of it a little so most probably wont use it again. Price tag is fantastic, you can pick it up at the Warehouse for not much at all. It is a really sweet floral scent that I love, but it can be a bit overpowering if you use a lot of it. It also doesnt stay for very long, I got a coupld of hours of wear out of it but for the price tag - who can complain?
Tips: Dont need to much, as it is strong.
This is such a great perfume. first started wearing it about 2 years ago? i love it to bits to be completely honest!
Thought wouldn't like it but you know what for a low price I love it !! Nice and low key . Also cute box and perfume bottle last for a while.
Tips: Spray here and there more is not needed.
