Charlie Sunshine

It became available in my country when I was 18/19 and it's just summer in a bottle. This reminds me of long days spent on the beach after my final exams and looking forward to college. I was in love with life, had a summer romance, drank too many mimosas and went clubbing every night. Slept until 1 PM, had bacon and eggs for lunch while listening to smooth jazz, then jumped into the shower and head off to the beach again. I would wear this day and night and the sillage/longevity was amazing. Looking for a couple of bottles, but I'll have to find a seller that's willing to ship them to my country. I'm sure eBay should be helpful, though.

Really impressive, fresh, cheerful scent that seems able to hold onto all of its notes 20 years on. Balanced and fresh, not a screechy note anywhere. Energizing.

I loved this and red and wore them many times during the 90s. Was so sad when they discontinued it, wish they'd bring it back. It was juicy and fresh.

I just got this from an op shop for $4. It's aged well... it smells amazing to me! Reminds me a little of Diorissimo, oddly. Really high quality.

Yesterday I was looking through my collection and came across a bottle of CS, which had been at the very back of the drawer for a long time. I'd forgotten all about it, and so it was a surprise to find CS is all about citrus and a touch of pear. Not as sharp as Clinique Happy, CS is a nice, fresh scent, work safe and probably unisex, too. Sillage is modest, CS doesn't carry far but it does last fairly long. There are lots of citrus scents available, while CS doesn't break new ground, it is a decent perfume for relatively little money. It's not nearly as well known as the famous Charlie flankers, and may even be discontinued. I'm not a citrus fan, but given a choice between Happy and CS I'd take Sunshine every time.
