Which Should You Buy?
Charlie Red is a quintessential 90s powerhouse floral that divides opinion. It's either an expensive-smelling, timeless classic or a screechy, dated air freshener. Love it or hate it, its strong performance and nostalgic charm are undeniable.
This is a gutsy white floral, not for the faint of heart. Expect a heady, almost 'dirty' floral experience with serious staying power. It's properly loved by those who want to make a statement, but could be too much for some.

Its potent projection and longevity make it less suitable for the office, but perfect for casual wear, especially for a bit of 90s nostalgia or making a statement. While some find it too 'loud' for formal events, its classic floral profile could work for certain occasions, and it's certainly not a sport scent.
