I have it: 33 I had it: 11 I want it: 68
Charriol Eau de Parfum was introduced in 2008, along with Charriol Eau de Toilette. Woody-oriental character of this fragrance is defined with juniper berries, orange blossom, mango, incense, frangipani flower, vanilla orchid, amber, tonka and patchouli. The perfume was created by Guillaume Flavigny, as a sophisticated fragrant radiance of ultimate luxury, combined of gold and gems. Its flacon is striking, circle-shaped, framed in Charriol's characteristic motive of spiral steel cable, with a relief in transparent glass. The fragrance is available as 50ml and 100ml (1,7 and 3,4 oz) EDP.

Charriol EDP is an impressively powerful scent yet it maintains its sensual qualities. The intense first spray immediately surrounded me with an orb of the smokey incense and the mild nutty-vanilla flavor of the tonka bean, totally luscious. I tried searching for the patchouli but failed to detect any on my skin, that is not necessarily a bad thing. The amber rears its head after minutes have passed giving this oriental-floral fragrance more of that warm and subdued sweetness. Positively enchanting.
I have a feeling that lovers of Shalimar will find Charriol altogether appealing. The drydown is reminiscent of the smokey and sweet Shalimar Fourreau du Soir. Longevity is not as good as Shalimar's, the scent lasted about 5 hours on my skin, but enough to garner compliments.
Once again - This si fantastic scent! Elegant powdery tonka bean incense. It's sooooo gorgeous and I always, really always get compliments when I wear it. Strongly recommend. You should at least try this beauty - choose a semi cold day or evening.
To all vanilla/TM Angel haters: don't go for this.
I have EDP.I'm shure I can smell some red pepper in it's sharp opening. Than relatively quickly it becomes smoky and sweet fruity fragance with some drop of bitterness inside. It's pretty loud, but more playfull than serious.
I like this warm smoky sweet smell - it's simply gorgeous, specially today when the weather is really bad - rainy,windy and cold. Thanks Charriol for warming me.
when i smell this perfume i feel something like vanilla and i love the way of this vanilla or caramel but there is no vanilla or caramel ...it is a mango :) anyway i love it and i think it is one of my favorite caramel scent or that my nose feelings :)
every time i wear this perfume i m being asked what i m wearing..this is the perfect one.
i usually wear it night when i m going to different parties and where is a lot of smoke from cigarettes..but i must say that in combination with that smoke the perfume is even better.
Whenever I think nothing can surprise me, a fragrance appears around the corner and punches me right in the nose!
2008. as the year of creation does not fit Charriol EDP because, besides the scent, it's bottle looks like something that would be found under a layer of dust (after you have overcome the fear of the dark and allergy to dust & dust mites), in a remote region in the attic.
opaque glass is cut so that it has an antique look, a heavy ring around the syringe and a metal cap seem like they are made of real gold, or at least covered with it. gold ring with rhinestones is very convincing and looks nice on the finger, even if, like me, you're not a fan of gold, and "all that shines''.
manly opening is without juniper berries and it starts immediately with amber cream & woodsy notes, and the ingredients are so well mixed that the first few hours of wearing it I cannot recognize the notes individually. the smell is just warm & resin-like, with ubiquitous refined sweetness; pleasantly strong, if there is such a category.
But slowly, hours later, I start to feel Tonka, and in this fragrance it must be written with a capital letter. Here, Tonka is wonderful, warm and wet with undertone of tobacco flavored almonds. Incense here is elegant, added with measure, accompanied by subtle notes of fragipani.
the smell is constantly creamy, but in the manner in which the cream smells like from a warm, freshly bathed and dried, female skin. the pleasure comes from a mix of mango, neroli and vanilla orchids (yes, pollenised vanilla floral scent), and the sharpness of patchouli is reduced to a minimum so it too is creamy.
my brain seeks similarities and finds them in the Estee Lauder Sensuous, Armani Sensi, Jacomo Art # 02 and Kenzo Amour Le Parfum. but not as if this is a copy in any way, because it smells older than all of the above, but like it took everything that impressed me with these smells and here it is connected into one harmonized body which, apart that it is an unmistakable Oriental Woody, it cannot be placed in any age group, not even in a time period nor it can be added to the opportunity that is appropriate for it to be worn.
For me, Charriol EDP is "all for one, one for all", yes, for me, it's all that.
This is a perfect example of how all the right notes sound so good in your mind but the reality is a symphonic disaster. Terrible scent - so disappointing. This perfume smells like one of those Coty drugstore wannabes. Total stinkerama...
I just received a sample of Charriol and currently am in lust.
The opening notes are reminiscent of a mens cologne, but a wonderful cologne. If I walked past a man that smelled like this I'd drool on him. Juniper berries, mango, and just the slightest aura of incense.
As the opening notes soften the flowers begin to creep out more, still with juniper in the background.
Gradually tonka becomes noticeable and Charriol starts to remind me of a well behaved Angel. "Well behaved" as in no danger of the patchouli wiping you out depending on the day. The patchouli here is a well blended accent. If I didn't see it in the notes I would miss the fact it's even there.
For me the opening notes are comforting. Like giving your man a hug right after he puts on the most incredible smelling cologne. That is what makes Charriol stand out from the other Angel and Euphoria style perfumes out there, even though the dry down is in their range.
Unique and well worth looking into.
Very strong woodsy opening, almost masculine, but comforted by just enough amount of sweet notes. I love juniper berries combined with mango and incense in this fragrance - very unusual, warm and seductive. Charriol Eau de Parfum is very innovative and up-to-date, very mature chic.
Very charming parfum. With woody notes and some of vanilla. Soft and warm. I'm in love with them from first smell :)
