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. It lasts about 4 to 6 hours on skin, fills a room and is best in autumn and winter. Revlon's Charlie Blue carries a Statement verdict, a green-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 →

Charlie Blue Eau de Toilette is a Statement: a deliberate choice for its distinctive character, noticeable presence or particular setting. It lasts a moderate time on skin with room-filling projection. Full bottles from $6.95, from shops that deliver to you. Prices are before sales tax.
Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. Each note's timing follows its listed tier, where it usually sits across many published pyramids (from ScentPrism) and its vapour pressure. A note comes through as the notes usually listed before it fade, judged from how other pyramids order the same pair. The thickness of a ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.
