    What do reviewers say about Charisma and Chanel N°22?

    This one doesn't whisper. The opening hits hard and stays there, aggressive sweetness from cardamom over fig that takes no prisoners. If that's the draw, it delivers.Charisma
    N°22 doesn't do subtlety for the first hour. Aldehydes crackle, florals lean heavy, and there's an austere mineral coolness underneath that some find regal and others find challenging.Chanel N°22
