Charlie (1973) is a cheerful, accessible soapy green floral chypre for the masses. In the same vein as Norell, Chanel No 19, Ivoire, and Fidji— but a bit brighter & simpler. This was worn...

Lately I have been taking a walk down memory lane, nostalgic for the bad perm days of the 80's when we must have been oblivious to how many people inhaled our noxious fumes. I wore Charlie...

How is it I have never reviewed my beloved Charlie! I have worn vintage Charlie for nearly my entire life and I wear it well. It's very femme and always the right fragrance to wear whether I'm...

I was surprised to learn that "Charlie" won a Fifi award (the perfume version of the Oscar) back in the day. Though I was just a kid, I can still vividly recall the commercials for "Charlie" with...

My review refers to what is now being sold as "Charlie Blue", presumably the modern day formulation of the original Charlie. I am not a fragrance snob and am always on the lookout for a...

I wore this in the mid/late 70's in high school and during a grad school work study in England. I remember they had a whole makeup line to go with it. Smelling it always reminded me of that time...

Soap and Arpege. On me it's all tarry plum aldehydes and Camay soap, ending dusty/gummy, but that's probably because it's made so cheaply now. As a child I remember it being very harsh and loud....

A blast from the past. I wore the original Charlie back in the 70s. I loved its green florals then. I find that I still like them now. I'm not sure that this is the original formulation. It...

Charlie is one of the best drugstore bargains, IMO. Yes, many other Revlon/Jovan/Coty-level scents smell as cheap as they are, but Charlie is at this point a vintage scent, having burst onto the...

Oh wow. This smells very dated, and on my skin, it picks up a certian note, that I can only describe as a ''feces'' note, that no perfume should ever should.. I have tried this perfume more than...
