Perfume From The Past

Charlie was a cheap perfume in the UK mainly worn by ****** as it excited the nostrils and ***** of young boys.
I am amazed that you have 2989 friends on EP, when you have only written 5 stories and posted two pictures and been a member since 10.09.2011
It shows how shallow EP is.

It's not an avon product. But wal-mart had it over the Christmas season. Not that you would care as yo uhave not been on here for 6 or 7 months (as of this writing)

Cool I am sure it is available still.

thy sell it here honey !! try www.avon.com

I believe I still have some that is unused totally.

I wear lady's perfume all the time even dressed as man.

Yea I remember Charlie. It had a nice smell. Men would wear English Leather and Jade East.
After my barber would shave my neck he would put Sea Breeze on it. Love the stuff. Good momeries.

I remember Charlie. I found an older fragrance my mom used to wear called Zen by searching for it through a store called Sephora. They don't sell it but told me who now does. Good luck!

Yes. The scent of that perfume was really nice and soft. Every once and awhile someone will still wear it and it brings back nice childhood memories. Those were truly the good old days!

When I used to be on business trips 20 years ago in Moscow I remember that if there was one good perfume, and it was home Charlie. My colleagues bought it there and took it home to their wives and girlfriends .. As a long time ago, but remember this, it were exciting perfume and exciting ages :-)

My first ever girl friend loved Charlie..................your comments made all that come back to me ...............thanks for the wonderful memories you strirred D

lovely story.



thanks.

Charlie was my all time favorite even through High School. I wore it all the way up into my late 20's when i had my daughter..While i was pregnant my body changed so much now I can not wear any perfume.. If i could, it would be Charlie again!

my mom wore Charlie also. she has passed on, but thanks for that memory with mothers day coming up. I almost forgot that

which one?

Blue,Gold,Red,Silver,Sunshine, White, or

White Musk!

;) Its great you have that memory. I don't recall my mom *ever* wearing perfume; I however, *love* it and seem to have collected quite the assortment to suit my varying moods :))

I still wear Charlie, it is easy to get here, but I also love Sand and Sable.

When I was younger, my favorite perfume for a girl to wear was Wild Musk. To this day, I still recognize it if I smell it.

My mother use to wear Charlie I thought it smelled nice too.

White Linen...........try it if you can find it !

When I was much younger, I wore "!-cla-mation". I don't even know if it is stil available, but it was a lovely perfume.

Oooh i looooved Charlie! And come to think of it, I swear I have seen it here in Canada somewhere...brings back memories.. Loved this story..thx for the walk down memory lane!

White Linen on 'some' women...........if it works...I am puddy in your hands.

It's still one of my favorites. I usually wear it a couple times during the week. Easy to find where I live.

Gosh I remember Charlie!! And my Mom wore Taboo and Shalimar--- such distinctive scents!!

And even further back.... My first perfumes (ok, colognes,lol) were Avon's Sweet Honesty and later, Love's Baby Soft... And Jean Nate's lemony clean scent.....



Its fascinating how smells are tied to memories....



Oh and I've purchased from fragrancenet.com. Regular emails with free shipping offers and they have EVERYTHING :-)



Thanks for the memory jolt!!!

i had almost forgotten about charlie. my mama used to wear it too. actually that was the only fragrance mama wore besides vanilla fields. thanks for reminding me of mama, she has been gone for awhile now. they sell charlie in my area. maybe ill get some to remember her smell.

Ah, yes, remember it well. I can still even remember the commercial and the jingle.

Charlie red i loved when i was younger also - it is still available in my local pharmacy and my daughter uses it now!! Uncanny to say the least, sparked my memory when i seen your story!!

Hello Suzan :) Try online - fragrance.com should have it. I remember Charlie and used to wear it myself. I like vanilla and vanilla musk and also clean fresh scents that remind me of trees and forests :) I like the way you used a secret drop that only you could smell. I do things like that too. I like to refresh the scent throughout the day too. Polo is sort of a licoricey, spicey smell. I know it is for men but it is so interesting to me and smells good on me lololol .. I go by the scent, not who it is made for. I do associate scents with memories or people too, just the way i do with songs :) I like your story. thanks for posting :)

Brings back college memories!! I survived an attempted kidnapping once but was left injured and had to stay home. The biggest surprise was one of my professors showed up at my house to see me and she brought me a present and it was a bottle of Charlie!! I'll never forget that. It was all the rage back then and I remember the commercials too!!
