Perfume: Revlon Charlie Red


There are colognes that get old-fashioned with the change of season, but this is one has become a classic. The best pick for a teenager with wild spirit, it’s also suitable for a sophisticated lady. Red alert, the girl’s coming.

In the early 90s, when I was a teenager, it was one of my favourites, as I considered it luxurious and glamorous for a ridicule price of around 8 euros of the time, so I was broken hearted when it stopped being made in Spain. But, by chance, I rediscovered in a trip to London in 2007, and still as fascinated as 15 years before, I included it in my hand luggage.

Jasmin, ylang, musk, orange flower, plum, and other ingredients come together for an unique blend, feminine and sensual. Charlie Red it’s the mysterious girl that would drive you insane without uttering a word, classy, sexy and exuberant, as models like Cindy Crawford or Cameron.

The complete range it’s made of cologne in sizes 50 ml and 100 ml and of 75 ml body spray.

Now find an exclusive deal in Boots (www.boots.co.uk), Duo Gift Set –including 100 ml cologne and 75ml body spray- for 9.99 pounds. Only for residents in United Kingdom.
