Charlie meets a new generation part 2
After I could get Charlie Red outrageously cheap and convince me, the curiosity had grabbed me and I looked around on Parfumo for the other Charlies. Since I have a heart for oriental fragrances, gold directly caught my eye and after I read that he is very oppulent, vintage and similar in style to Chanel's Coco (one of my favorites), I was really excited. Probably reading up on it was rather counterproductive in this case though, but more on that later. To my enthusiasm, Müller also offers the Charlies for a ridiculously low price and thus the golden one was bagged and taken.
At home, I could hardly wait to try it out and sprayed off. To my regret, the fragrance but unfortunately did not correspond to my image that I have made before. On my skin spread the strong scent of peach, but not really juicy, but rather scratchy like peach soap. Cinnamon and plum I detect, but very soft and subtle. It almost has gourmand traits at first, if it weren't for that soapy note that never really wants to go away and then makes the whole compote unenjoyable after all. As does the peach, by the way, which is ironclad until it disappears and is merely accompanied by all the other notes in the pyramid. On my skin, at least, it doesn't undergo any great oriental development that I was eagerly waiting for. For me, he is rather fruity-soapy-sweet - Just clean, somehow.
Bad is this fragrance by no means, but unfortunately I catch myself how I always look a bit wistfully at the bottle when passing and do not quite know what to do with it. At least currently, I wouldn't actually wear it personally, as charming as the vintage DNA of it may be. Maybe I'll try it again when it gets warmer, but until then Charlie Red remains the better Charlie in my opinion.
