I finally found a vintage Charlie gift set for a decent price and buckled up for the immersion. First the aldehydes hit me, which are divine, then comes the grit. Woody, muddy, vampy. Ten minutes in Charlie is fully revealed and she is pure 100% badass. In my opinion she is not forward sexy, but rather says I am woman and I run the show around here. I feel like this would be an intimidating scent for the people who come into this woman's orbit. I think she definitely has a place in my life and on my shelf for days I'm in no mood for taking anyone's sh*t.
