Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet iconic, the original Charlie is a green, white floral chypre with old-school aldehydes. It's cheap and cheerful, but some find it a dated headache-inducer. Definitely sample it first, because this one isn't for everyone.
This is a love-it-or-hate-it green machine, a proper chypre throwback that will either transport you to a field of lilies or to a public loo. Utterly divisive, but at this price, it's a wild ride worth trying.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Charlie's strong sillage and aldehydes might be too much for a closed office, and it's not well-suited for formal events or sport. However, its 'independent woman' vibe makes it great for casual wear and dates, as long as it's applied sparingly and allowed to settle.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its soapy, clean profile makes it decent for casual wear, office use (with light application), and even post-sport refreshment. However, its polarising nature and old-fashioned vibe make it less suitable for dates or formal events where crowd-pleasing is key.
