Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aromatics Elixir

Aromatics Elixir is an uncompromising chypre that demands attention with its assertive, herbal-mossy character and vintage sophistication. Not for the faint of heart, but unforgettable for true lovers of classic perfumery.

Statement

Our Verdict - Charlie Blue Eau de Parfum

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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Aromatics Elixir

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

The mossy, earthy, spicy chypre structure thrives in cool to temperate weather, making this ideal for fall and winter. Spring works for those who love vintage florals and boldness, but the density and lack of sweetness make it less suited for hot summer days.

Occasions

Best For:

Formal

Also Works:

Date

This classic chypre's powerful sillage and complex character suit formal events and evening wear best. Its bold projection and vintage style can be polarizing in the office or casual settings.

Charlie Blue Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Also Works:

Date Casual

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.
