CK One Calvin Klein 1994 Eau de Toilette

My colleague loves this scent. I finally wanted to test it myself and got a sample. I generously spray it on myself. Should I have done that more sparingly? I feel catapulted into my shower and am standing there coughing in an alcohol fog, surrounded by a masculine shower gel and shampoo that only my boyfriend uses. Then it continues with "what smells so sweaty" luckily the sweat smell fades and it becomes floral. The floral shower impression lasts longer, unfortunately, so does the scratchiness in my throat. Coughing, I wash off the CK One. It's not really my thing.
