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. I assume Revlon knows their own products. 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.

Zane, I'm sorry to say...but, unless this is old perfume (like over a year old), it is not the old version. Being an Opium junkie for almost 30 years now, I can honestly tell you that I am heartbroken over the "new recipe". I'm not sure, but the so called new formula for this scent was in direct response to import laws imposed by the Uncle Sam a couple of years ago...so there might be a chance of getting the old formula from the Paris site...but I'm not sure they will ship it here, to the U.S. Hope this helps! And, if you find a way to get the original scent, PLEASE let me know so I can get a bottle.

I actually ordered the Parfum (the one that said "Parfum" in the description), and that is what I got, no matter what the picture was. I have to say, I really didn't pay that much attention to what the box said in the picture, only the description wording. So, if it says Eau de Toilette, I would tend to believe it. The Parfum is the very same as what I pay a lot more for at Macy's or Kohl's. The smell is exactly the same and it has the same longevity of smell when wearing it.

Dear Sarah,Good day. Cherry here.Many thanks for your interests in our product. Actually the item's name is printed on the package directly from the manufacture. So it's a little hard for us to do the secret delivery for you then. Hope you can understand. If anything else needs to know,just contact us freely.Nice dayCherry

I have no idea, sorry. Probably need to check out perfume bottle collectors on Google.

HEY Alsunusi! You know it's funny you ask that because, the first box I used and "FELL IN LOVE WITH" was the white box with I believe blue writing. The second box was the brown box, and it was horrible!!!! So, perhaps there is something to that. It's too late to call customer service at Phytospecific, but I will tomorrow and find out if there is a difference and what that difference is. Hopefully they have not reformulated the product or anything dumb like that. Thanks for asking!Eve

Yes, mine came in a little manila envelope and the actual bottle was wrapped up with bubble wrap. The bottle is very small, so it's easy to conceal it and put in your pocket or your purse without anyone knowing what it is. My recommendation is go to the mailbox alone, and open it outside and dispose of the packaging if you don't want anyone knowing that you have ordered this. FYI, I put it on, my husband did become aroused, but he commented that he did not like the smell. To me, it smells like baby powder, but he said it did not smell like baby powder to him. So, I guess it works somewhat but you have to put some perfume over it to conceal the smell if the targeted person does not like the scent.

Please...for all our sakes... We NEED to know what we are buying and from whom. I buy a perfume called SPELLBOUND... an Elizabeth Arden product.TWICE I have bought after market bottles. In the SAME bottles and the SAME box. Each time, the perfume was slightly different... scent did not last as long and the color of the liquid was darker. So please DO.... HELP KEEP BUYERS INFORMED. Thank-you for even bringing the topic to the surface.Sharron Brown Yachats, Oregon

The box and the bottle say Calvin Klein. It was very misleading. My husband had a bottle we bought at Macy's and I purchased this bottle from Amazon. When sprayed it smelled right but did not last or have as strong of a scent as the purchase made at Macy's. My opinion is that it was either watered down or a complete knock off.

It is supposed to be an amber/brown color (or at least it is from my doctor). However, I ordered 2 on line, one was the nice amber/brown color BUT the one I just opened this morning appears to have been diluted to a clear/yellowish color. The smell is also different and the top came off easily WITH the plastic still on the bottle. It is also supposed to come boxed IN a box with a paper insert. Don't think I will be ordering on-line again....

I have the same question in mind because if you click on this link that shows the "New Formula" blue label, it brings you to the page showing the old green label. This is if your buying from the seller named "whatSUPP". I just placed an order for one yesterday so we'll see what comes in the mail. I'll keep you posted. I don't mind if either one comes because the old formula was good anyway.

Hi Daphne! I've purchased this from Macys and other stores in the past and from Amazon too... The box comes sealed just like from any other store and the perfume has always been authentic in my experience... I personally think you should go ahead with the purchase and you won't be disappointed... Good Luck! :)

I never received the merchandise and had to go through Target as I needed it right away. They do have them at Target with the vibration feature. I ordered this and received perfume instead. I do not know if I would order from a private seller. First time ever doing that on Amazon and was completely dissatisfied! Be cautious!

My fear when I buy perfume at a department store is always, is this the real thing? I have learned that in many cases it is not; unfortunately you realize it after it's been opened. The one I bought in Bari, Italy, was, but now that I need to replace it I wonder where to get a good one. One of the expensive stores is probably the answer (Saks, Neiman, Nordstrom, etc...). The packaging shown online is the same as mine but that doesn't mean anything. Sorry I cannot give a more positive assurance.

When I purchase from Amazon, whatever product is advertised, I usually find that is what I receive; my last order of this product - (received 8/28/12) - advertised was, "eau de parfum", same box, same size and that it what I received. If the box says it's the toilette, then that is most likely what's in the box.Excellent perfume! whether it's the parfum or the toilette. Off course perfume works in conjunction with your body chemistry. Whenever I use this perrume, I get lots of compliments!

Not sure why Yardley quit making the original, but it may have been that violet just went out of fashion and younger buyers considered it a scent that only old ladies would wear. However, there have always be perfume fans who love violet (I'm one of them) and will try anything with that scent. I don't think I ever wore the original, but I like the current version. On my skin, it's a sweet, cool, green-smelling violet. It does have a somewhat nostalgic, melancholy "feel" to it. I have sampled far more expensive violet perfumes that didn't smell nearly as good. Personally, I wouldn't want it any stronger, but everyone's skin is a little different.
