Yesterday I did something that I have not done since I was a child- I made boxed Macaroni and Cheese. It was one of the only things I could make as a kid and during the summer I usually had three options for lunch- A sandwich, SpaghettiO's, or mac and cheese. Usually my parents bought the Velveeta one. For some reason even though I prefer to cook and eat "real food", I thought it would be fun to try out as an adult. I bought Annie's because it seems healthier than the other stuff and a lot of people really like it, it tasted like my college food days- I ate a lot of the Easy Mac that you make in the microwave. So nostalgic, but tastes nothing like real food. I bought two boxes, unfortunate for me. That's was a 90's thing. And so is this perfume.
Calvin Klein claims:

Made in Spain
I'm pretty sure this is the second Calvin Klein scent I've had. First one I tried was Euphoria, which I'm not a fan of. I am also not a fan of this. I think this was largely hyped as one of the first unisex scents which is not true. There were quite a few unisex colognes that came out as early as the 1700's and they are still around today. Ck One came out in 1994 and quickly became a best seller and sold millions in the 90's. It still sells in the millions today although considerably less.
When I first got it, the first spray I thought I was in love. I thought it was light and fresh and perfect for the upcoming summer. I wished I bought a larger size. The second day I didn't feel quite the same way. And by the third day, I downright disliked it. I'm typically not a fan of unisex fragrances. They just aren't for me. This just started smelling too masculine to me. Like a nice smelling boy. Something you might buy your teenage sons. I really, really dislike it on me. And it doesn't really last, nor does it have much silage. I can put it on and basically forget about it an hour later.
I'm not great at describing scents but I get a big hit of citrus. Lemon? But not lemony, lemon. Definitely smells like Bergamot. I do get the Mandarin notes too. And for sure the cardamom. A little hit of Jasmine. And those are the only notes I feel I really pick up. I'm surprised I can pick out so much!
The packaging is nice. I love the cloudy glass bottle that comes with a lid and also a sprayer which you can change out. I do like the cap more (it looks cool) but I keep the sprayer on it most of the time to make it easier to use it. I think I like it because it looks so unique and different from all my other bottles.
Overall, it just wasn't for me but it's not a horrible scent. I can see why some people really love it . It's just not my thing. I'm glad I gave it a try and I'm happy to add the bottle to my collection once I use it up.
