Charlie(1973)

Created by Revlon's in-house perfumers, Charlie opens on peach, green notes, and bergamot, moves through a heart of jasmine, rose, and ylang-ylang, and closes on sandalwood, musk, and oakmoss. Marketed with groundbreaking advertising featuring an independent, confidently striding woman in trousers, it became closely associated with the changing image of working women in the 1970s. Charlie became enormously commercially successful, helping establish Revlon as a major fragrance player and demonstrating that accessible, well-marketed perfume could achieve prestige-level cultural impact.
