No. 17 Charlotte Rhys — a fragrance that speaks for itself. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the wood, floral, and citrus families.
Country of origin — South Africa. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
One of those fragrances you never forget, even years later. The official website of Charlotte Rhys — http://www.store.crabtree-evelyn.com.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of No. 17 unfolds as a layered story, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The signature of Charlotte Rhys is recognizable in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Citrus, Aromatic, Whiteflower and Spicy. The palette also extends to Floral, Wood and Musk. Within olfactory families the scent maps to Citrus, Floral and Wood.
In the top tier you catch sparkling citrus opening notes: Bergamot, Lemon, Tarragon and Yuzu.
In the heart you meet Lily of the Valley, Nutmeg, Reseda and Water Lily carrying a velvety rose-iris direction. In the base the composition is fixed through Cedar, Sandalwood, Vetiver and musk, reinforcing a warm vetiver trail.
The accord architecture is built around these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Musc forming a compact and readable structure. Background accords such as Wood and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
Taken together No. 17 reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best judged on skin.
