All we miss and regret about once a beautiful country… Gracious, elegant, classy. Must be much more older, it was already legendary in early 90’s. And also all that I miss about once nicely bold perfumes. My friend were painting scarfs for Vakko, her atelier were nearby its headquarter in İstanbul and we all had handfull of its samplers which was a real treasure for us because at this time it was too luxurious and expensive for our student allowances 🙂

Is there anyone who remembers the vakko in cornish in izmir? When you open the door and walk to the elevators,usually a very chic lady would pass by and she would be wearing fur and smelling Katia. Yes this fragrance is so feminine and adult and its definitely a rich women’s fragrance. I will always love it.

I am not doing well with Katia…
You need to adore a very strong white floral bouqet to enjoy this, and Katia is pretty much an unadultered one at that.
It’s a quality perfume, longevity and sillage is superb, but the bottle & packaging could be way better for the price. They do an incredibly nice gift pack in Vakko stores however.
If I happen to find a lady who will appreciate this fragrance, I may think about gifting it. It’s a very mature frag (albeit I don’t normally make this distinction as it goes for perfumes); yet Katia begs for a definite accomplishment in life (like having gone beyond & done many things including grandchildren). Sexuality doesn’t apply here, but it’s neither a virginal frag.

Had it in early 90s, fun and floral and misky, don’t know if I would like it today.

While I love hyacinth so much, this perfume didn’t quite work for me. It seems quite heavy, overpowering.
Then maybe it is because I love mild, non intrusive, floral scents.

God I grew up with this perfume all around me!! Old fashioned, pure floral. To my nose, the hyacinth, rose, mimose, and musk were the most prominent. Has monster sillage and projection. I’d buy it on my next visit to Turkey as well. If for nothing else than the sweet memories of the old country… :o)

my mom’s fragrance. katia is quite heady, strong floral fragrance. hyacinth is the dominant note. i think it is suitable for autumn or winter. pure nostalgia for me

this perfume was launched much earlier. I remember, I bought it for my mum in 1992 in Izmir, Turkey. the Vakko for men was also at that time.
