Chaz

Ciaz / Chaz Classic

Revlon 1975 Cologne

My first Revlon. Interesting brand by the way, which was launched in the 60s with some fragrances and then apparently tried to follow up unsuccessfully a few decades later. "Chaz" seems to be the flagship, as indicated by the numerous flankers that were to follow.

In U.S. forums, it is generally rated positively to enthusiastically. Well, Americans do tend to prefer the opulent, and given the year of release, the blind purchase of an OF was a done deal for me.

So what does it offer, the good one? "Chaz" is clearly a child of its time. Multi-layered, quite opulent, and of course it comes across as self-assured, but not arrogant. Not a powerhouse in the classical sense, longevity and sillage are rather moderate for its era. Fruity opening, characterized by bergamot. The heart note is passed through quite quickly, leading to a soft, mossy finish. Throughout, there is always a pleasantly subtle, but definitely present and above all absolutely unsynthetic sweetness,

All in all, a solid and well-deserved 90%.
