Revlon Charlie Red Eau De Toilet Review

My Nana purchased me this perfume and I hated it. It was way to strong and I didn't find the smell pleasant. It kind of reminded me of old ladies or a spray that would be left in a toilet. Sorry Charlie and sorry Nana but it's a no from me!

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.

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.

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.

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 got this as a gift, and really gave me a headache. Don’t like the smell at all. Packaging also looks cheap. I love Revlon make up, but not a fan of the perfume.

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.

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
