Revlon Charlie Red is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1993. Charlie Red opens with Orange Blossom, Violet, Gardenia, and Peach, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Revlon's Charlie Red carries a Statement verdict, a white floral-led wear.

Charlie Red is a quintessential 90s powerhouse floral that divides opinion. It's either an expensive-smelling, timeless classic or a screechy, dated air freshener. Love it or hate it, its strong performance and nostalgic charm are undeniable.

Its potent projection and longevity make it less suitable for the office, but perfect for casual wear, especially for a bit of 90s nostalgia or making a statement. While some find it too 'loud' for formal events, its classic floral profile could work for certain occasions, and it's certainly not a sport scent.

About

A vibrant blast of white florals kicks things off, led by heady tuberose, creamy gardenia, and sweet orange blossom, softened by an almost over-ripe peach and plum. The heart unfolds with a bouquet of classic blooms like jasmine, lily of the valley, and rose, underpinned by the exotic warmth of ylang-ylang and spicy carnation. A honeyed sweetness emerges in the base, mingling with smooth sandalwood, rich amber, and a clean, musky cedar.
