Charles of the Ritz Charles of the Ritz for women

I remember reading once that back in the 80's Cher stated to the press this was the only fragrance she wore story is that she tried to model her signature fragrance Uninhibited after it?

I can't recall what Uninhibited smelled like to way back in the 80's and I never smelled Charles of the Ritz.

When I use GUERLAIN L'Heure Bleue, people ask me if I am wearing CHARLES OF THE RITZ

Charles of the Ritz Original was really an awesome scent. I have the fondest ..and best...of memories while I wore that. The only place I have been able to get it is at Martecci's Fine Fragrance who has recreated it. As for the Ritz Classic, which came on the scene a little later than the Original, Martecci's is in the middle of recreating it, and has some really great developmental samples available, most notably sample T and sample Z,and I would recommend them, but for them to get any closer someone out there (someone reading this post) will have to contact them and donate what they have left to them of their RITZ CLASSIC,e ven if it is jsut a couple of sprays. But, if that doesnt' work out, I will feel really happy with Ritz Classic T or Z.

My mother wore this when I was a child and I have very positive memories of it. As I remember it, the most prominent notes were tuberose, jasmine, cinnamon and vetiver. This is what got me interested in perfumes. Sadly I haven't smelled it in years and its been discontinued. I'm tracking down another bottle on the internet and will post a real review once I smell it again.

John Galliano for Women comes pretty close.

Does anyone know of a similar frangrance?

This is a very unique perfume, it could almost cross over to be a man's cologne in my opinion. This is almost masculine in scent. Sweeter than Cabochard but just as manly in my opinion.

Charles of the Ritz also had a Rose perfume which was very delicate and light in a satin polished metal canister. Released perhaps a year or two before this one.
