Charlie Red, released by Revlon in 1993, is a full-bodied floral with a fruity opening and a honeyed base. Floral is how everyone describes it; a sizeable minority also find it sweet, and fewer mention woods, musk or amber.
Peach and plum open it with a ripe, slightly tart fruitiness, while gardenia and orange blossom announce the white flowers early. The heart is a big, warm bouquet of tuberose, jasmine and rose with the creamy, banana-tinged warmth of ylang-ylang, so it is rich rather than dewy. The base of honey, sandalwood and musk gives a sweet, slightly animalic warmth that lingers.
Most wearers report it long lasting or moderate, and the sillage is moderate for about half and strong for a quarter, so it carries more than a typical day scent. Spring and autumn lead the seasonal votes and it is mostly worn by day. It suits anyone who likes a confident, old-school floral and wants it to be noticed.
