    What do reviewers say about Charlie Red and Classique?

    Built for the woman who walks into a room and doesn't need the lights to find her. Bold white florals, yes, but threaded with enough honey and cedar to keep it grounded. Not loud. Just certain.Charlie Red
    The sillage is not subtle. People will smell you before they see you. That's not a warning, it's the point. Classique is for the woman who walks into a room and changes the air in it.Classique
