CK One Calvin Klein 1994 Eau de Toilette

Perhaps some of you still remember the perfume chain Yaska. I believe it was eventually bought by Douglas. But back then, when I was still a teenager, hanging out with my friends in that perfume shop for hours, it was always associated with special excitement for us 'chicks'. The saleswomen observed us with a mix of suspicion and amusement as we tried out so many fragrances... And we came home smelling of all sorts of things (and bought bath bombs like crazy, but that's a whole different memory...) But this scent particularly captivated me back then. And I was immensely proud when I finally had my own little bottle.

Recently, it was brought back to my attention through a sample sent from a perfume shop. As soon as I sprayed it, the past came rushing back: fresh, citrusy, clean, and a scent to feel good in, but not one to stand out too much. Absolutely unisex for me.

I believe it is also responsible for my ongoing preference for unisex fragrances even today. I wouldn't buy it for myself anymore, as the longevity is just too poor. But the sample was a nice trip back to my youth....
