About This Perfume
Revlon Charlie Blue comes across as dewy green bouquet over soft musk. It opens with bergamot, galbanum and chamomile, moves into jasmine, rose and ylang-ylang and settles on musk, oakmoss and sandalwood. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for nights out. Released in 1973.
Wearers report that it lasts through a full day, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and grounded for nights out.
- Sample first if: you are unsure about strong floral notes; this one divides opinion.
- Skip if: you dislike chypre fragrances.
Around $9.
