About Charlie
Charlie is Revlon's legendary fragrance line that revolutionised perfume marketing and became the world's best-selling perfume within just three years of its 1973 launch. Named after Revlon founder Charles Revson, Charlie broke new ground not just commercially but culturally, embodying the spirit of the liberated women entering the workforce in the early 1970s. Unlike previous fragrances marketed around attracting men or enhancing beauty, Charlie represented independent, self-sufficient women comfortable with their own identity. The groundbreaking advertising featured models in Ralph Lauren pantsuits - the first time women wore trousers in fragrance advertising. Most significantly, the campaign featured Naomi Sims, making her the first African American woman in history to appear in cosmetic company advertising. Charlie's quality and innovation were recognised at the 1974 FiFi Awards, where it won both Women's Fragrance of the Year and Best Media Campaign - a remarkable double victory that cemented its place in fragrance history. The original Charlie fragrance is classified as floral-aldehyde, featuring top notes of citrus, bergamot, hyacinth, and peach, middle notes of cyclamen, carnation, jasmine and rose, and base notes of sandalwood, musk, vanilla, and oakmoss. Today, the Charlie line includes multiple variants with the UK having access to the full range including Charlie Pink and Charlie Red body sprays. These affordable body sprays deliver the iconic Charlie scent in a convenient, everyday format perfect for freshening up throughout the day.
