Well, nobody answered our question so I took the bull by the horn and ordered the product anyway. It arrived well packed, wrapped in bubble wrap and sent via ups. It is indeed the same original Charlie that I had used eons ago! The package says "Charlie Blue" but I can guarantee that what I ordered using the link below is the real thing: Charlie Blue by Revlon for Women, Eau De Toilette Spray, 3.4 OunceIt is a huge bottle (100 mL). What you see in the picture is exactly what I received. It says "Made in UK" in the box and at the bottom of the bottle. It also has a phone number that you can call if you have any question about the product. (UK:Questions? Comments? Freephone 0800 085 2716)Hope these information help.

Charlie Blue IS NOT THE SAME SCENT as Charlie Original.. I have BOTH Charlie scents and they are totally different. If it was the "Original", it would say "Charlie Original", NOT "Charlie Blue"...

If you look at Revlon's site, it is the same product. The original Charlie came out in 1973, and was later joined by multiple variations. I suspect the "blue" was added to prevent confusion. From what I've read, only the blue is available in the US (other versions are still available elsewhere), so it seems likely that the product that is manufactured for the US doesn't say blue anymore, while products made for other countries do. http://www.revlon.com/Revlon-Home/Products/Fragrance/Charlie.aspx - the bottle doesn't say blue, but it says blue in the description on the right.

If you type in Actazin this product comes up, but I have been staring at the label and can not find it on the list unless it is going by something else. Looked it up at product's website also and could not find it.I truly understand if you are confused.

Sorry, I have used Charlie Blue for years but don't know the answer to that question. Have just read the other answers and agree that the spray cologne is a much more delicate scent.

I have been wearing this perfume for over ten years; I would purchase new or have the bottle refilled at Macys. Because the deal at Amazon was so much better I gave it a try. It is, to me, exactly the same. I understand your concern. I was gifted a bottle of Angel from a kiosk at the Mall. This Angel was a different shade of blue and smelled nothing like "my" Angel. I will purchase from Amazon again. Good Luck.

Are they from different dealers? If it is this Berry Bloom, and it is colorstay, it has been discontinued but I can still find it sometimes at all different prices.

i called creed,and was told that amazon is not a authorized seller of there product, i too received this Arabic writing in booth bottles, the first bottle they sent only had a lasting smell of 15 mins what creed said was this could be old stock from the middle east all i can tell ya is amazon made good and replaced the first bottle that was garbage i had bought from norstroms a smaller bottle and i can tell ya that the perfume last a lot longer than what i received from amazon i guess they received a item that the shelf life was running out

To say that that they all come in a standard 3.4 oz. bottle is not necessarily true. I have bought this perfume and it is 100% authentic. You may even check the actual brands website and they have the 3.3 oz bottle size as well. Also this is not the only perfume that comes in a different size bottle. I have one by Carolina Herrera that is a 2 oz......which you don't usually see(its usually more like a 1.7 oz.). Lady Million by Paco Rabanne comes in a 1 oz., 1.7 oz. and the final and largest one is a 2.7oz. Which i have and it is fabulous perfume btw! Hope this helps :)

When I ordered this in the past, I found out that this particular site was extremely deceptive. While the picture shows 2 bottles, no where does it state in the description how many you are purchasing. One would assume you would receive 2 bottles when that's what the picture shows, but indeed, you only will receive 1! Also, "Cotton Fresh" is a different scent than regular, but regular is what you'll get! When I complained about this, all I got was the runaround, without any explanation whatsoever!

I wondered about that also whe I bought it. It's the same fragrance .... Not sure why the different color.

I don't think its the real thing either. To me When I order perfume from Fragrance .com or Perfume .com it not real. Its not the same as the department stores.

I love this perfume and so does my daughter, who's about your age. It's floral, but not really fruity. Why not go to a department store and test it out before you buy it?

The words "Charles of the Ritz Group" is nowhere on the bottle. It only says Jean Nate products and Revlon on the back

I don't think this one is the orginal. There are several Prada perfumes. The one pictured is a great perfume.

Hi Joan That's a good question...one that I struggle with also. It's hard to say because I once did some research with regard to the tell tale signs to look out for in the case of one of my favourite brands CK Obsession; and to be quite honest I kinda came away a little wiser but still not entirely sure I could pick a fake. Aside from faults in packaging, a fake will be made of watered down or substitute elements that lead the scent to degrade quicker over time. With this in mind I found the product I received had the exact same scent as the bottle I bought from the store, and it seemed to last throughout the day...so I was pleased, and I did receive compliments on the scent. If I may add one more comment, after shipping is added the saving between what I'd paid here at Amazon and what the stores were charging was marginal. Hope that helps you. :)

This is definitely the new formula. Ugh! The old formula was great, wasn't it? Since I bought this I have been able to find one that is close. It's even blue in color. If you have BJ's wholesale clubs in your area they make a generic that is the best thing I have found! Good Luck!

I just answered (re overall blue sheen). I'm adding this: I also saw a different colored version of the same product that is predominantly amber/gold instead of the blue. So look carefully if you want the blue one or the gold one. As I said, the blue one which I have is predominantly a light blue but dramatized with deep golds, ambers, red and black.
