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 isn't just another rose perfume; it's a dramatic, poetic journey from bloom to decay. Fiercely divisive for some, a masterpiece for others thanks to its geranium-heavy, realistic rose portrayal.
