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 is a seriously divisive piece of kit. You'll either get a gorgeous, potent blast of old-school class, or it'll smell like an elderly relative's bathroom. Love-it-or-hate-it, but if you love it, you'll love it hard for its unique character.

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.

Occasions
Its bold, long-lasting projection makes it a bit much for the office. However, the rich, sophisticated notes and animalic undertones make it fantastic for dates and formal events, though some find it a bit too old-school for everyday casual wear.
