Youth Zarkoperfume 2022

Youth always sends me back in time to my teenage years. Back then, Hollister was the non plus ultra when it came to shopping. Anyone who has ever rummaged through the dark, noisy, cramped stores knows the joyful tension when you first saw what color your shopping haul actually was in the daylight outside. But for us fragrance fans, the most memorable Hollister memory is probably the penetrating sweet and fruity scent of the boutiques. But the fragrance shelf also had a few creations to offer. One of them had the same melon and plum notes as in Youth, which is why it definitely evokes Hollister associations in me.

Youth starts fruity with peach and melon, but shifts in the heart between plum, subtle white flowers and vanilla notes. All in all, the combination is sweet, fruity yet airy and light. The result is a really light, cheerful, feel-good fragrance for relaxed days.

As this is a typical zarko synthetic molecular fragrance, it remains relatively linear. The sillage and longevity are very good, but not as strong as Zarko's Muse. Sprayed on in the morning, the fragrance is still easily perceptible in the evening. Youth is still noticeable, men in particular have regularly complimented me on the fragrance. So if you want a long-lasting, fruity compliment magnet and don't mind a hint of Hollister vibes, you can feel youthful again with Youth.
