Charlie Black

Revlon Charlie Black is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2009. The fragrance opens with Litchi, Cherry, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Almond and Caramel, and dries down to a base of Coumarin, Musk, Amber, and Vanilla.

Our verdict on Charlie Black: Acquired

Charlie Black is a divisive fruit-musk, adored by some for its unique cheapness and nighttime allure, but dismissed by others as a linear, masculine disappointment. Don't expect a delicate dessert; this is bold and a bit rough around the edges, definitely not for everyone.

About

Opens with a zing of mandarin, bright and sharp, before cherry and litchi add a juicy sweetness. The heart mellows into a surprisingly masculine musk, mingling with a faint almond warmth and a subtle, almost-there caramel. The dry down is a blend of coumarin's powdery-sweetness and amber's richness, grounded by vanilla and a persistent, slightly cool musk that gives it an unexpected edge.
