Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper statement maker for cold weather, a plush, peachy powerhouse that's adored by many but can be divisive. If you love a rich fruitchouli with beastly performance, you'll be hooked. If not, prepare for a syrupy, soapy onslaught.
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.

Occasions
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.
