What does Charlie Red (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The top is built on orange blossom, plum, peach and blackcurrant, which give it a fruity sweetness. In the heart, ylang-ylang, jasmine, tuberose and rose fill out the floral body. The base of honey, musk, amber and sandalwood softens and sweetens it, leaving a woody, oriental warmth.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most pick spring and fall, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear. More than half of voters find it feminine, and some call it classic. Elizabeth Arden Red Door (Eau de Toilette) and Givenchy Amarige (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
