For as long as I can remember I have used some type of cologne/perfume. Even when I was a little girl I would sneak into my mother’s room and use her perfumes, which there were not many to choose from because she is allergic to so many scents. And this was not always a smart thing to do! So mother, being the wonderful mother she is, she would buy my on ‘little girl” smell good stuff. (I also do not wear colognes/perfumes around my mother because of her being allergic to so many scents. It’s a respect thing you know!)
But as time went by and I got older, developed and discovered “boys” I figured out really quick that the boys liked a good smelling perfume/cologne on a young teenage girl. And even better on a woman!
Once, after I was married to the father of my children, he decided that he wanted me to try a new cologne. However, keeping in mind that not all colognes/perfumes smell the same on all woman, yet sometimes they are the same or very similar, he admitted that the smell may not be what I was looking for and if I didn’t like it, it would not hurt his feelings.
So being the good, young wife that I was, I tried the cologne for him and came to love the smell instantly. And to this day I still wear it! And this is now over 20 years ago!
The Product, Cost and Packaging
Launched by the design house of Revlon® in 1973, Charlie Blue™, which is known as the original scent of Charlie®. Revlon® Charlie™ Cologne Spray makes me feel good about me! When I wear it, and it doesn’t take much for me, it carries a floral scent, yet not too strong. And Charlie™ last all day on me.
For a 3.3oz you will pay around $10.00 at Wal Mart. Slightly higher prices at places like drug and grocery stores and even more a Finer Department Stores. So certainly you should shop around for the best price. I mean in my humble opinion there is no need paying a higher price for the same product sold at discount stores! And sometimes you can even find it cheaper during holidays.
Also available in a gift packet with lotion and powder for around $15.00 to $20.00 depending on the sizes of the containers. Comes in a blue box with “Charlie” written in cursive writing on the front of the box.
The bottle is clear with a golden cap. Available in a spray or a pour. The cologne is gold in color.
Ingredients
When you smell Charlie™ you will smell a heavenly, flowery fragrance. The feminine scent possesses a blend of florals; geranium, jasmine, and rose, along with mossy woods, sandalwood, oakmoss, and musk. It is recommended for daytime wear, but I will wear it anytime!

How I Feel
As I stated earlier this cologne spray smells really nice and I love it! I am glad that my former husband got me this cologne when he did, for I have worn it ever since. And certainly colognes are hard to describe via a review, but I think I have given an accurate description of Charlie™.
I also have bought this same cologne for members of my family or friends. I like being able to get the gift set during the holidays and after the holidays I will buy some when all the gift sets go on sale to have for later on.
This cologne is not a strong cologne unless the person applying the cologne sprays too much! And that is the point I want to make, it doesn’t take much at all with this cologne to smell sexy and good about you.
Now I have to admit that I have a friend who wears this same cologne and she uses way too much in my opinion. And like I stated in another cologne review, people who wear too much cologne need to be taken out back and hosed down. I really think that people need to realize that there are people who are allergic and not wear so much of any cologne/perfume. And unfortunately there are people out there who think they must spray tons of cologne/perfume before leaving the house! Now I am not saying that a person shouldn’t wear what they want, just that they should not drown themselves in it! Truly, if you want to smell loads of cologne you can walk into any Department Store and have yourself a ball!
Revlon® Charlie™ Cologne Spray makes a great gift anytime of year. And there are other scents also available, certainly one to suit your needs.
I hope that this has helped in some kind of way.
God Bless!
