Watching that first video above makes me want to be a ''Charlie girl''! Looks so fun. Unfortuneately, the actual scent of this is very strong and harsh. I'm sure it was great in it's time, but now, it smells like a very outdated chypre. Floral peach with a strong, STRONG aldehyde overtone. This is not a scent for today's young teen. You'll need to try this one before you buy.. I think most people who buy this now purchase for nostalgic reasons, not because they like the scent and want to wear it everyday.

I never liked "Charlie". I was in my early 20s when it came out and it was clearly being marketed to women around my age. I tested it but never bought it. I like some inexpensive perfumes, but Charlie always smelled bad and chemically and, well, cheap to me on anyone wearing it.

My mother use to wear this scent because my father's name was Charlie. I saw it in a drug store a few year's back and bought a bottle on a lark. I get GREAT complements every time I wear it. Something about it mixes well with my body chemistry. I usually wear Halston, Chanel 5, Fidgi, and L'Air du Temps and I never hear anything. Put on Charlie and everybody loves me.

An evil little perfume if ever there was....words cannot describe it! & to market it for teens - what were they thinking...Chanel No5 for teens??! This has put me off aldehyde-rich scents for a long time. Totally fake. YUK!

I just could not picture a teen age girl in this day and age wearing this fragrance. Good gosh if you make your teen/pre teen wear this they will have no social life.

The scent is very dated to the early 1070's with it aldehyde and powdery floral woods.

This scent reminds me of the dinosaurs who's time has come and gone - Sorry Charlie!

I don't know why but to me it is really similar to L'air de temps by Nina Ricci.
Sweet floral, not for every body but if someone can carry carnations it would be a dream scent. Carnation is that spicy powdery note which some people seem to complain about in perfumes.
Charlie is confident and bold. There is no lightness about it. It exudes confidence but there is something innocent about it as well.

The original, and best "Charlie". Charlie "Blue", which is what is supposed to be the new version of the original is a bit paler version of this lively, seamless scent. An underrated classic.

I think it's a great scent for a young girl.
Specially the price is right for the youngster.

Ich habe diesen Duft geliebt. Blumig - aber doch irgendwie speziell.
Leider gibt es das EdT in Deutschland nicht mehr zu kaufen.

I have loved this smell. Florid - but anyhow especially.
Unfortunately, there is not the EdT in Germany any more to shop.

I got this as a Christmas gift when I was pre-teen and used it as a weapon of stink against my brothers. I think if I tried it again I might enjoy it because of the memories attached to it. I only remember how strong it was.

Strong, heavy, rich, woody and dusty fragrance with nice flowery top notes.

Growing up my mom used to wear this. To me (at that time) it smelled like dime store drool, one step up from Jean Nate.
Now that I am older I would give it another sniff.

Che bei ricordi questo profumo... una cascata di fiori.. dopo tanti anni è ancora uno dei miei preferiti.
