Revlon Charlie Blue is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1973. Charlie Blue opens with Geranium, settles into a heart of Rose and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Oakmoss. Revlon's Charlie Blue carries an Acquired verdict, a mossy-led wear.

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.

About

Charlie Blue opens with a fierce blast of potent oakmoss, intensely green and earthy, quickly joined by the aromatic bite of geranium. As it settles, a clean, slightly powdery rose and jasmine emerge, softened by a touch of warm sandalwood and a musky undertone. The mossy spine remains prominent throughout, giving it a dry, vintage chypre character that’s both assertive and intriguing, evoking a fresh yet 'dirty' feel.
