Charlie White Eau De Toilette Spray 3.4 Oz / 100 Ml

I bought this as a semi-blind buy; "semi," because I've already loved Charlie original for decades. I got a bottle of the original delivered yesterday, then ran across a description of one of the flankers. "Aquatic," "green," "powdery"...? Yes, please! So I got the Charlie White in today. For those of us over 60s, imagine Estée Lauder Aliage and Coty Muguet de Bois had a baby. This is it! I never expected to love Charlie White this much. Now I'm on the lookout for shower gel, lotion and powder. Crossing my fingers that Revlon makes them...and never goes out of business (there had been some shaky financial times), or stops making Charlie and all the flankers!

I 'blind-bought' this (purchased without smelling first) and I'm glad I did. This is light and clean, what magazines call an 'effortless' fragrance. To me, an 'effortless' fragrance means you smell good, smell clean, but aren't making 'a statement' with your fragrance. I think most people would say this is a 'summery' scent. As a person who never wears spicy, heavy, oriental, etc., that means it's an all year scent. I'm old enough to remember the original Charlie from the 1970s and I bet it still smells good. It was woody and green, which is a nice change from all the fruity florals out there.
