Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fakhar Rose Eau de Parfum

This one is a total dupe darling, and a divisive one at that. While some rave about its sweet, bubblegum-tuberose charm, others are running for the hills, citing everything from 'grape hand soap' to 'cat piss'. Sample first, unless you're feeling adventurous.

Our Verdict - Charlie Red Eau de Parfum

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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Fakhar Rose Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

Also Works:

Summer Autumn Winter

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its potent floral-fruity sweetness and significant projection make it a bit much for the office if oversprayed, though some find it office-safe with a light touch. It's perfectly suited for dates and casual outings due to its playful and feminine character. While it can work for formal events, its 'bubblegum' vibe might not suit every sophisticated occasion, and it's certainly not a sport scent.

Charlie Red Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Date

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.
