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 one's a bit of a chameleon: a clean, floral, dry green scent that splits opinions. It's either an evocative, unique gem or just a harsh, headache-inducing green mess. You'll either love its desert-like aura or find it screechy and plain.

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
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its clean and fresh profile makes it suitable for casual wear and might work in an office setting if applied lightly, as some find it strong initially. However, its divisive nature and moderate sillage make it less ideal for formal events or intimate dates.
