Olfactive Studio Flash Back in New York ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 2 March 2018 5 Comments

Olfactive Studio Flash Back in New York

French niche line Olfactive Studio has launched Flash Back in New York. The new unisex fragrance was inspired by a photograph by Vivienne Gucwa. Flash Back in New York is a followup to 2013's Flash Back.

A TRIBUTE TO A CITY THAT STOPS FOR NOTHING, NOT EVEN THE FIERCEST OF BLIZZARDS.

It is in the wake of a snowy avenue, bathed in a warm nocturnal light, an illuminated Chrysler Building just visible in the distance, where Flash Back in New York gets its bearings. Its composition pays perfect tribute to this city that stops for nothing, even the fiercest of blizzards. New York is like fire under ice, and demands a composition fitting its excessiveness, its astonishing possibilities.

The element of surprise is one of the city’s trademarks. At once exuberant and full of contrasts, Flash Back in New York starts with an energetic blend of cumin, saffron, and sage. The first wave of emotion segues into a captivating heart note to the beat of violet and jasmine, and a note of Tuscan leather that lends warmth to the composition. The fragrance swiftly evolves into a slow and graceful movement toward a warm woody and addictive accord of smoked birch, papyrus, and vetiver.

Flash Back in New York was developed by perfumer Jérôme Epinette.

Olfactive Studio Flash Back in New York is available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

    Eeek! “Energetic blend of cumin …” Thanks, but no thanks.

      I prefer my cumin on the lethargic side too :-)

      That was my reaction too – cumin is a big fat no.

    Definitely want to try it but my best friend and I have determined that it may be the cumin note in Cartier Declaration that may cause the (pardon the directness) body odor smell.

      Oh, it’s the cumin, yes. Plus, the grapefruit.
