I hate it, smells heavy and old. Nothing, but nothing youthful.
Charlie Gold is strong in its line and if you don’t like that family, you won’t like it. It’s a curious mix of spices and sweet. It’s not youthful, but not ‘old lady’ either; it’s more in the oriental line. I don’t see it as floral, but spiced oriental, and very spiced on my skin. It’s warm and intense, nothing for heat, spring, or summer; it’s for winter and cold days. If you like fresh or florals, it’s not for you. Smells very expensive, hard to think it’s so cheap. I love it, using it for a couple of years and it’s worth it. But with these intensities, test before buying because it’s not for everyone.
Charlie Gold is strong within its line, and if you don’t like that family, you won’t like this. It’s a curious mix of spices and sweetness. It’s not youthful, but it’s not ‘old lady’ either; it leans more towards the oriental side. I don’t see it as floral, but rather as a strongly spiced oriental, especially on my skin. It’s warm and intense—nothing for heat, spring, or summer; it’s for winter and cold days. If you like fresh or floral scents, this isn’t for you. It smells very expensive, hard to believe it’s so cheap. I love it, I’ve been using it for a couple of years, and it’s worth it. But with these intense scents, test before buying because it’s not for everyone.
I grabbed this today at an absurdly low price; it was the one that stood out most in the Charlie line. It’s intense and warm, opening with candied plum, apricot, and peach that quickly blend into amber and florals. At first, it seems so, but within minutes, waves of cinnamon and cloves hit, spicing it up and making it unique. You can also detect sandalwood, which adds elegance and sobriety. It reminds me a bit of Escada’s Incredible Me and Desire Me due to that sweet-floral mix, but this is much deeper, more potent, and spicier. Yes, 80s and 90s fruits can give off a ‘lady perfume’ vibe, but nothing could be further from the truth: Charlie Gold was the start of gourmands for young people tired of floral or oriental scents. It’s not oriental-floral; it’s halfway between oriental and gourmand. Watch your application—it’s brutally potent; I overapplied thinking it was an EDT and got dizzy. Not for this season; ideal for autumn, winter, or cautious spring nights. Nothing for hot springs or summer. Great projection and longevity. In short: sweet, cozy, potent, and a great price, don’t think twice if you have it.
Strong, intense, and sexy… The best of this Revlon lineup. Its price is incredible compared to what you get.
The only Charlie I really like. Caramel and cinnamon dominate. Ridiculously good longevity on skin and clothes.
Good amber and caramel fragrance with cinnamon at the start. You can smell the freesia and blackberry. Classic structure at an excellent price. If it weren’t so strong and sweet, it would be my battle perfume. I don’t see it close to Dolce Vita; the cardamom in DV makes the difference. But it’s a good perfume: creamy and warm.
Cinnamon, amber, peach, and caramel. It’s spiced, warm, and intense, a bit rough and classically cut. I like it for cold days. Its sweetness is far from current gourmands, though it was heading that way. I recommend testing it first because it’s potent, but it has excellent quality at an incredibly low price. Some high-end EDPs would kill to have the longevity and sillage of this EDT bomb. Scent 7/10, Longevity 7/10, Sillage 8/10, Value 10/10, Versatility 6/10, Packaging 4/10. Would I buy again? Yes.
Cinnamon, amber, peach, and caramel. Spiced, warm, and intense, maybe a bit rough and classic. I like it for cold days. The sweetness is far from current gourmands, although it seems made for them. I recommend trying it before buying; it’s potent but has excellent quality at a very low price. Some high-end EDPs would envy its longevity and trail. Scent 7/10, Longevity 7/10, Trail 8/10, Value/Price 10/10, Versatility 6/10, Packaging 4/10. Would I buy it again? Yes.
Oooh, what memories this brings back. I’d describe it almost like the personality of my friend Raúl L., who used it and maybe still does. Strong, intense, and complex aroma. You either love it or hate it completely. Ambiguous 😊
Pleasant for cold winters, warm and spiced with a touch of amber soap. Moderate trail, lasts about 4-6 hours with 6 sprays. Excellent price (100 ml EDT). Sweet but not cloying; thanks to fruits, spices, and caramel. I perceive cinnamon, orange, and amber in the opening, plus sweet fruits like plum and peach. Everything sits on an amber base that gives it the quality of a clean, classic oriental soap. The flowers round out the ensemble, making it romantic; I don’t notice them individually, they’re white garden flowers. Spices, woods, and discrete caramel (not gourmand). For me: 25% amber, 25% spices/woods, 25% flowers, 25% fruits/caramel. I don’t feel it’s talc-like as Fragrantica says. Edit: Time has passed and I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I’m not wearing it anymore. I think I’m detecting something from the past that I’m not in the mood for. I still think it’s good, perhaps just not for me.
Hi there! The opening isn’t alcoholic; it explodes with fruits: apricot, then peach, and plum. Accompanied by a precise caramel, not excessive. The opening is classic, but the dry-down is the best: cinnamon and clove appear, and the clove is noticeable to a marvel! That spice duo gives a 180-degree turn, making it interesting and addictive. Later, sandalwood and amber add sobriety, elegance, and sensuality. Let’s not forget the rose and musk; they give that perfect powdery sensation. Curiosity: when smelling it in the bottle, I thought it was Lancôme’s Tresor from 1990, but on the skin, they are totally different. It’s not an oriental floral; it’s a spiced oriental. The opening is feminine and classic, but the spices make it unisex. I, as a man, would try it cold. It’s impressive for the price; it doesn’t smell cheap and lasts 12 hours. The trail is heavy for the first 3 hours, then drops to skin level. Ideal for autumn and winter, perfect for Christmas with those sweet and spiced scents.

The sillage is heavy for the first 3 hours and then stays close to the skin. Ideal for autumn and winter, I imagine it for Christmas wrapped in those sweet and spiced scents.

Excellent perfume. Warm, spiced, and ambered. A delight. Good longevity and super affordable. Here the rule is fulfilled: good, beautiful, and cheap.
This perfume is well-made: it gives you the pleasure of smelling fine at a low cost. Discreet freesia and jasmine blend well with the fruits. Blackberry, plum, and peach form a syrup with cinnamon, clove, cedar, sandalwood, and amber. It’s talc-like, woody, fruity, and sweet. 😍
Without a doubt, Gold is much more atomic than Red or Blue; Charlie Gold doesn’t whisper. The opening is challenging, almost provocative: within seconds, a bitter, earthy orange with plum. But its projection is immediate. With patience, that sharp edge fades, revealing a juicy, sweet peach with amber, caramel, and cinnamon. The caramel gives the peach a syrupy tone, reminiscent of Kenzo’s Kashaka, though here the floral influence is lesser, and Gold is more earthy and spiced. It evolves into something attractive; the dry-down is fantastic. I love Blue and Red, but I admit Gold is rounder, more substantial, with excellent projection and longevity. It’s superior again at this price point.
I had never tried CHARLIE GOLD and it surprised me very pleasantly not only by the composition and sillage in its performance, in that trail it leaves, but because at a low cost you find a quality perfume even with the passage of time. Surely reformulated, it’s a great example olfactorily. Its opening is strong; I detected that plum scent and a ripe peach, also a warm cinnamon and woods that hold together in some way with the other citrus orange, rose, and jasmine notes, but not in an annoying way, but embracing it to rest a sensual scent, with presence that becomes elegant, pretentious in distinction, and doesn’t leave anyone indifferent if someone is near the wearer of this fragrance. I’ve tried many perfumes and this is one of those that, being really a trifle in cost, gives the sensation of being an expensive perfume, a high-end brand. I closed my eyes and wanted to remember my university years; then I was (among other fragrances) a huge fan of DNA by Bijan and it brought it back to my mind… I associate it a lot, maybe because of that power it emanates, maybe because before perfumes were truly perfumes, whereas now they advertise more with MKT than the real weight of the content in a bottle. Charlie Gold doesn’t need advertising campaigns, nor a turned bottle, nor an expensive packaging; it has its own soul and surely it will make you look elegant, feminine, and glossy more than many current ‘fruity-fruity’ ones where you pay a fortune and end up halfway. Highly recommended 100%! Surely this will accompany me this Autumn-Winter in many ‘many’ wears of these with coats, boots, and a hat 😉
This perfume is very special… it has a sweet, ambered fruity scent. It reminds me a lot of vintage and the scents of perfumes from before. The bottle is not pretty, but inside there’s a gem. I loved it.
‘Charlie Gold’ has a very fruity opening where the bitter orange, plum, and lots of jammy peach stand out. The truth is the flowers are there, I just don’t notice them. It has an old vibe and something plasticky that doesn’t convince me, but after half an hour it calms down and I like it more. In the dry down it leaves a honeyed caramel with cinnamon and clove, a bit of vanilla, and lots of amber, quite pleasant. It’s sweet, sober, potent, mature, feminine, and above all warm and cozy. It doesn’t feel cheap at all. Longevity is excellent, about 6h on my skin and the sillage is very noticeable. Impressive considering it costs $4 and is an EDT. The truth is it’s not my type of perfume and I barely use it because it’s special, since it reminds me of my favorite person, my grandmother. I don’t know if she had it or if it reminds me of her shampoo or soap, but when I smell it memories flood in… it’s beautiful and sad at the same time. If you’re looking for something in the style of Tresor, I’d check it out. Best quality/price ratio I’ve tried.
It’s the only Charlie I like; I don’t want anything with the others, lol. I bought it for its resemblance to Lancôme’s Tresor and it’s somewhat similar, but I feel it’s more mature, maybe adult? Or with less elegance than Tresor. Something curious happened to me: I sprayed a bit on the box and hated it, it smelled like fermented fruit in the trash, but on the skin… so good! Sweet like fruit and caramel, warm and ideal for winter. With little experience, it’s the first time I noticed that scent change; I learned you have to smell it on the skin and not trust strips. It lasts 4 to 6 hours, I get lost a bit because my nose gets used to it. In conclusion, without considering the price, it feels like a quality perfume, elegant, mature, somber, warm, and sweet. I think I’m a bit young for it; it’s very mature for me but doesn’t create dissonance like the other Charlies do.
It’s the only Charlie I like; I don’t want anything with the others ajajaja. I bought it for its resemblance to Lancôme’s Tresor and it’s somewhat similar, but I feel it’s more mature… adult? Or a touch less elegant than Tresor. Something very curious happened to me with Charlie Gold: I put a little on the box and I hated it, it was a nasty smell, no exaggeration, like fermented fruit in the trash. But when I put it on my skin… ahhhhhh, so delicious, a sweet fruit and caramel, warm, ideal for winter. With my little experience in scents, it’s the first time I noticed that scent change. I gained a point of experience and learned that you always have to give a perfume the chance to smell on skin and not trust yourself with strips. Its longevity on me is 4 to 6 hours, I get lost a bit here since my nose gets used to it. As a general conclusion, without considering its price, it feels like a quality, elegant, mature, somber, warm, and sweet perfume. I think I’m a bit young for it; it’s very mature for me but it doesn’t produce a dissonance like with the other Charlies.
I have to admit that the first time I tried it was a disappointment for my nose, perhaps because the weather wasn’t cold enough yet and I only perceived the extremely potent amber, so I decided to put it aside. Until the cold and the desire to give it a second opportunity revealed its delicious fragrance to me: sweet and ambered, floral and fruity, woody and spicy. A bottled wonder. Those cinnamon and clove notes intoxicate me, but what I found in its dry down that amazed me was the sweetest, richest, and most realistic milk chocolate I’ve smelled until today.
As the years pass (I’m 32), my nose matures, and lately I’ve been looking for elegant vintage gems; I’ve found several, this is one of them. I read a lot about this perfume and watched many videos trying to perceive its scent. In the end, I decided to buy it because it’s affordable and I could lose if I didn’t like it. I have to admit the color scared me: amber in a perfume as potent as that, that’s what my mom says hahaha. The smell at the first spray reminds me of Amarige by Givenchy, maybe a Tresor, a Volupté… mmm, if there’s something of them in it. Orange opening with neroli and amber with some green note like Amarige that makes it a bit strange but not bad; this softens until it becomes a powdery, soft, slightly sweet smell mixed with plum, that plum from my beloved JS Fancy. Longevity on skin: about 6 hours (wish it lasted longer) and on clothes the scent stays soft for a day, maybe more. It’s a good perfume for its price; in cold climates and seasons it will be like a cozy hug and I… I’m already ready. I liked it a lot. I love gourmand but I’m starting to like the classic sweet ones.
At first sniff, it’s overwhelming, with too much sandalwood for my taste. It’s a vintage scent but not elegant. I intensely perceive the woods and caramel, but not the flowers. I’ll give it another chance when it gets colder.

Scent: This perfume is autumn in a bottle. It’s a beautiful scent that embraces you with its plush sweetness of plum and peach, but the real warmth comes from its woody touch, all wrapped in caramel. It’s a warm and sweet embrace, delicate, it doesn’t reach gourmand territory. Notes: Plum with caramel and amber, slightly woody. Longevity: +12 hours on skin, I perceive it from morning to night. Sillage: Heavy during the first hour, filling a room; afterwards, for the next 4 hours where you walk, the fragrance lingers. Opinion: I love its scent and performance; they are excellent. This perfume stands up to many prestigious houses; the best part is you get it at a crazy price, for $8 you get a top-notch perfume.
A gem at a great price (too good, because it could cost more) and attracts a wider audience because sometimes consumers think if something is expensive it’s automatically good, and if it’s cheap, it’s bad. Charlie Gold breaks that logic. It’s a nineties fragrance that manages to smell good and perform well to grab attention and impress with its longevity. If you have a tight budget and want something that performs four times better than it costs… use it. I see it as quite unisex, leaning masculine due to the spicy notes. To me, it smells like half-synthetic vanilla, covered in caramel and a juicy ripe peach type of jam. Note, I don’t feel it’s gourmand (it doesn’t make me want to eat it). Worth mentioning that I feel it’s somewhat synthetic; that vanilla reminds me of vanilla furniture polish. I think it’s one of those perfumes that doesn’t perform the same way every time. It’s pleasant and from time to time you feel like visiting it just for the sake of it.
Peach, bitter orange, and amber. Even the photos of the notes scream ‘amber’. It happened to me like it did to others: at first sniff, I thought of Tresor, or Volupté if you’re in a hurry. But putting them side by side… nothing alike, very curious. It’s fruitier than floral, a total nineties vibe. Potent and long-lasting; some current EdPs would kill to be this good. It’s a flashy cheapie; at first it can seem rough, dry, and not elegant, but it softens. Not bad if you don’t mind that slight retro touch. I like it. I’ve never seen it in a physical store, and it’s striking that online shipping costs almost exceed the price of the bottle. Almost. It makes me wonder what circus the fragrance world is: trapeze artists, magicians, clowns, and Charlie Gold.
Peach, bitter orange, amber… even the note photos are amber-themed. It happened to me like others: smelling it made me think of Tresor, Volupté, if you hurry. Side by side, nothing in common. Very curious. More fruity than floral, it’s nineties to the max. Potent and long-lasting, some current EdPs would kill to get close to it. Flashy cheapie, though at first it may seem rough, dry, sweet, and not elegant, but it softens. Not bad at all if you don’t mind that touch of the past century. Personally, I like it. I’ve never seen it in a physical store, and it’s striking that online shipping costs almost exceed the price of the bottle. Almost. It makes me wonder what circus the fragrance world is: acrobats, magicians, clowns, and Charlie Gold.
