I have the Jean Phillipe reissued version of Chaz (same one pictured above, called “Chaz Classic”), and it is HORRENDOUS. It’s like a totally watered down version of Jovan’s Sex Appeal For Men, which was a good fragrance, but this is not. Even with 7 or 8 sprays all over, the scent disappears after about a half hour. Before that, it smells like a bad 70’s aromatic fougere with a lot of cinnamon and patchouli, poorly blended, cheap and synthetic smelling, then farts away to nothing after 30 minutes.
I have a feeling I would have liked the Revlon version of this, since I love 70s power scents. This Jean Phillipe thing isn’t even worth the 5 bucks I spend on it. Total shit.
My rating: 2/10

Had been curious about this one so I picked up a half ounce vintage bottle. Impressions… it’s a mostly generic, spicy musky type smell from the 80s. A little sour, a little soapy. Offers no surprises, nor should anyone expect it to. Performance is okay for the time, definitely not nuclear level for me. Neat to try but trying it is as far as I’m going to go.

A girlfriend gave me a bottle of Chaz EDT for Christmas during my senior year of college – the era of boot-cut Levi’s, Frye boots, and disco. I wear only fragrances I like myself, and I wore Chaz almost exclusively the rest of my senior year. Thus my evaluations are that it is an outstanding fall/winter nighttime fragrance. Because it was strong, I tended to wear it only for going out at night. Chaz always received a great response from my girlfriends and my friends’ dates and girlfriends. It is vaguely oriental with a deep, almost musky woody-citrusy affect that suited that era extremely well still evokes great memories, and remains relevant today, so I wear it occasionally even today. I take advantage of the fact that you can still find Chaz via web outlets.

I originally reviewed the Jean Phillipe version of Chaz, and liked it so much that I sought out the original blend that was sold by Revlon in the 70s. I managed to get hold of the original juice and it is a MONSTER! I’ve never smelled any fragrance so overpowering. It’s like the current version on steroids after going 16 winning rounds with Rocky in a leather jockstrap. Although the original adverts had Tom Selleck I don’t even think that he was butch or hairy enough to endorse this beast. It has a slight wiff of the current version but dries down to a very heavy/sweaty/boozy/soapy scent that will stop men, women, children and animals in their tracks. A nuclear bombshell of a fragrance that not only announces its presence by smacking you in the sinuses but also punches you in the stomach and stomps on your balls as well.
After wearing this for a full day I had to go home and have a Scotch and a cold shower. I think it will be a few more months before I’m ready for round 2.

Lots of dislike for this one but no reviews. Chaz was originally marketd by Revlon but eventually went out of production only to be picked up by the dead fragrance graverobbing company that is Jean Philippe. I decided to get this one after discovering that most of the newly released male fragrances are mainly aimed at 1) Frat boys who want to be gangsta 2) Frat boys who have just joined the corporate world 3) Fratboys who are clubbing in Vegas on the weekend. I figure these old fragrances must still be around for a reason, and I want to know what that reason is. And if smokin’ hot Tom Selleck endorsed it in the 80s, well, it had to have SOMETHING going for it!
Chaz arrived in its somewhat cheap bottle and box. No surprises there because it is cheap. But the big surprise is the juice. I LOVE it! It has a 70s light greeny/shaving foam vibe that I find really impressive. As a reference point, If you like YSL’s Rive Gauche for men then it is like a lighter version of that. I actually think its better because the green notes come to the front after a while and create a surprisiningly sexy scent that is light yet persistent. Longevity is on the weak side but at this price who cares? It’s now in my top 5 and this comes from someone who normally goes for high end and niche fragrances. Tom Ford has gone to the storage drawer for now.
I will try and purchase the original Revlon formula and report back. If anyone has sample I’d be really grateful and happy to swap. I’ve read some reports that say the original is even better and the current formula is but a weak imitation. I bloody well hope so because I think I might have discovered a trail to my fragrance holy grail!
