After reading that Blue was supposed to be closest to the original, I ordered it. I wouldn’t say it’s ‘not at all’ the same, but it’s definitely different. I’m no expert in describing fragrances, so I think the best way I can put it is that Charlie Blue (at least on me, with my body chemistry) does not have the same presence and depth as the original. It’s like notes are missing. It also finishes with more of a ‘powdery’ quality, which is something I generally don’t like; I prefer ‘clean’ scents. It’s not awful. I’ve purchased it and will use it, but I doubt I’ll buy it again.

I hope you find one that you like.
