Charlie Gold

I'm thoroughly underwhelmed! After devouring every review, I expected a rich and rounded vanilla/amber/cinnamon/caramel fragrance. Instead, all I get is an overpowering, pungent jasmine/oranges/aldehydic scent that's overwhelming and unpleasantly sharp. The sweetness is overshadowed by the sour notes, which left me with a headache immediately. While it does possess a sophisticated, mature quality, unfortunately, it doesn't resonate with my personal taste preferences. One redeeming aspect was its affordability, as well as its sillage and longevity.

I enthusiastically endorse Charlie Gold eau Fraiche for anyone who appreciates the classic Gold fragrance, as it presents a bright and lively sibling that I adore equally.

I confess that I was initially apprehensive about trying this perfume due to concerns that its notes might result in an overpowering scent... Far from it, actually! Instead, I'm delighted by the harmonious blend of Amber, Plum, Apricot, and Cinnamon. This masterpiece reminds me of the iconic female perfumes of yesteryear. The name "Revlon" is truly apt, as this fragrance shines with a golden glow.

Upon initial application, I detect a prominent sweet and fruity aroma reminiscent of peach, with notes that strike me as somewhat artificial or synthetic. However, as the fragrance settles over time, its character evolves, revealing a subtle floral nuance that renders it more appealing to my senses. Overall, this perfume seems geared towards an older demographic, given its sophisticated profile. Impressively, its longevity is quite impressive, lasting for several hours on the skin.

This is one impressive find! It bears a subtle resemblance to Nina Ricci L'Air du Temps, but with a refreshing twist - the spice, cloves, and wood notes are expertly balanced without any jarring aldehydes. It's as if someone created an edition tailored for younger women who crave modernity yet want a delicate nostalgic touch. Charlie Gold has remarkable staying power and matures beautifully over time, transitioning from sharp to warm wood and vanilla notes. And the value is truly astonishing - I acquired the 100ml bottle for under 7 Euros!
