Revlon 1973 EDT
Charlie Blue
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 floral-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.What our verdicts mean →

Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best 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.
