What do reviewers say about Charlie Blue and Love and Tears?
The 1973 formula doesn't ask permission. That oakmoss presence hits different, bold, earthy, and built for someone who knows exactly what she wants. Yes, it's assertive. That's the point.Charlie Blue
Love and Tears sounds like a romantic floral until you smell it. The opening is sharp, almost medicine-cabinet green, courtesy of galbanum and petitgrain.Love and Tears
