Which Should You Buy?
A truly divisive icon that's not for the faint-hearted. Charlie Blue is either a magnificent, budget-friendly classic or a dreadful scrubber that conjures images of dog poo. You'll love it or properly hate it, there's no in-between.
This one's a proper divisive beast. Go lightly, or you'll regret it. Overspray and you're smelling of cat wee; apply just right, and it's a green, floral dream. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, a real wildcard that demands precision.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong performance and assertive mossy-woody character, Charlie Blue is best suited for casual wear where its boldness can shine without overwhelming. Its intensity makes it less ideal for office settings, though some find it acceptable for dates or more informal evening events where a retro flair is appreciated.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and excellent longevity when applied correctly, it's a bit too much for a typical office environment. The unique mossy-floral character makes it intriguing for dates and formal events, though casual wear is possible if applied very sparingly.
