Not the best

I was working at the perfume desk for a week and had the biggest headache. I saw that everyone was buying this product, maybe because it was the cheapest. But my philosophy has always been that if you don't like it in store, you wont like it anywhere else. The store is where you like something the most. I reluctantly bought the product to see what the big rave about it was. Turns out, I had found the culprit that had been given me the intense headaches. The scent of this perfume is very overwhelming, sort of smells like a drunk person and made me want to gag a couple of times. The packaging is nice but, this is not a product I would re-purchase in the future.

Cheap perfume

I did not like this perfume at all. Strong scent, too overwhelming gives me headache. I bought it to try as it is quite cheap. Turns out it is too intense for me, I couldn't recommend this to anyone or repurchase

A Classic.

Oh my. Charlie Red. It was launched in 1993 and it reminds me of 1993. I was starting high school and this perfume was cheap enough for us to coat ourselves.

It's a nice enough smell, but I've grown up and so has my sense of smell. This is not an appealing scent to me at all.

its so cheap!

this stuff is amazing and its super cheap so you could pretty much use it as a freshener, (which is what I may have done for awhile there) as a body spray or as a perfume - its great!

Its got a nice smell to it and because I've smelt it so much over my life, whenever I smell it loads of memories come flashing back.

Cant go wrong with this one.

Ahh Good Ol Charlie Red

I have used this in my younger years, I felt very sophisticated at the time, and the bottle helped reflect that sophistication. The bottle was frosted, and once the silver lid came off I was greeted with the heady scent. I would definitely say the florals come through the strongest, and the longevity of this was so great. I would get compliments all the time, a lot of people asked me what I was wearing. If you are into your floral scents, this is ideal, but a little goes a long way, try not to over do it.

Good While it Lasted

I got this on my birthday from a neighbour when I was 14 years old. She used to sell all the Charlies and this was quite in at that time. For me that time it was like getting a Viva La Juicy for teenagers now. Revlon was a big brand name and when it ventured into perfumery everyone wanted a piece of it.

The packaging is very simple and nothing to hype about. Thinking back I loved that perfume and used to bathe in it. Iam so sorry for the people who used to be around me at that time.

The scent is pretty strong at the beginning, almost alcoholic. But by the end of the day it has mellowed down somewhat. But I still wouldnt buy it now as much as my 14 year old self liked it nor would I recommend it to someone. I couldnt really tell the notes apart as the smell of alcohol is too strong. For the price I would recommend trying Victorias Secret Body Sprays. I still love Revlon though and I think they make awesome makeup.

Childhood favourite

Charlie was one of my first perfumes I had tried. I made a purchase at the age of thirteen from my local pharmacy. I saved up to buy this. All my high school friends had it too. Revlon was popular back then . I had perfumes and hair care from this brand.

This box is a bright red colour. I was instantly captured by the bottle with charlie written on it. My bottle I had was 100 ml clear so you can see this golden liquid fragrance through it. This scent has warm musk with winter fruits pulling together a distinct fragrance.

I used to love layering this fragrance on my body and clothes. I loved wearing this during the day and night. Its a flexible fragrance that can be worn anytime. It lasted me up to three hours and then I needed to re apply.

It's extremely affordable in price. Would be great for any teenage girl as a starting out with perfumes. I wouldn't repurchase it because my scent taste has changed over the years.

Loved it even though didn't think I would.

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.

Charlie Red

Tried a spritz of this recently when looking at perfume. Once I let the perfume settle on my wrist it smelt quite nice. It was fruity with a musky smell to it. I found it faded a wee bit with time but it still smelt good throughout the day. A very affordable perfume.
