Jimmy Choo Flash Eau de Parfum

Product Information

I've given up attempting to compare twenty-first century fragrances to twentieth-century perfumes. In the case of Jimmy Choo Flash, I feel that the only comparisons which make much sense are with the predecessor namesakes. I find no resemblance between this juice and Dior Hypnotic Poison, which many Fragrantica reviewers do find. Of course, I have yet to smell the reformulation of that perfume... I like this, but it's nothing special. I am a huge fan of the original Jimmy Choo fragrance, but this is just 'meh'. By all means, I don't think that every new perfume release has to be something mind-blowing and unique, and I still think that Flash is a pleasant perfume, that can and is enjoy by many people. I'd recommend it if you like rich white florals, or are looking for a good, beginner tuberose scent.

The good news is that Flash is my favorite so far in this series. The bad news is that 1000 x 0 = 0. Okay, that was a bit of an exaggeration. This smells better than the average totally abstract chemical soup. I see that the designer was Christine Nagel, who has produced many fine perfumes. This is not one of them, but relative to the other Jimmy Choos, Flash is pretty good. I have the vial sample of jimmy choo's flash n also hypnotic poison eau sensuelle by dior...i sprayed both on my wrists..yesterday I sprayed HP eau sensuelle n today I spray flash.

After a while the notes becomes more apparent and I can smell the tangerine *Hmmm* a sugary sweetness (strawberry?) and a featherlight tuberose note that is sprinkled with a dash of pepper, but nothing in this scent is too harsh. It's a very well balanced creation and I love it because its fresh/floral/spicy and sweet without that it smells like a mess! WOW! So glad I gave this a shot, it is so much different from what I remember at the store years ago. Aim of the creator was to introduce the unique accessory which will be as desirable as Jimmy Choo shoes or Jimmy Choo purse. The flacon is created to accentuate games of light and colored in pale purple color. Photos of the advertising campaign were taken by Steven Meisel, and advertising face of the new perfume is Natasha Poly I'm going to use it in Summer nights,also spring and fall,day or night and winter days,it's a 4season perfume and better be used in mild weather.I can't see resemblances between this and hp,just creaminess and soft delicious powder in both of them but overall they are very different to my nose

The scent itself is probably one of the most distinct, exiting, recognisable fragrances I've owned. It lives up to its name as the scent comes in a flash, all ingredients blending together almost smelling like honey with an exiting twist of fruit. Once the drydown commences, the heliotrope pushes its way in. I can smell the slightly-sweet doughiness among the soft wood and persistent white flowers. The fragrance lasts for a moderate-to-long amount of time--maybe 5-7 hours. The projection is moderate at most. The opening is fresh and fruity, but I don't really get strawberries. Maybe some very unripe early spring strawberries from a hothouse, if I'm generous. The tuberose note is quite nice, mixed with the slight spiciness of lily it becomes very feminine and skin-like. But after a while heliotrope comes in and overpowers the other flowers. I like heliotrope, but its vanilla-almond aspect becomes too strong on my skin in this case. First it blends with the white flowers to a plastic doll smell and then it dries down to a very simple sweet scent. It's alright, not cloying or otherwise bad, Flash just misses that certain something that would make me buy it.

The perfumer of this scent is also the one responsible for NR, and I can definitely smell and feel a signature musky presence in this as well. Flash begins with with...well, a flash of pepper and citrus. For a split second, it reminded me of Clinique Happy. It's quite a blast, I will say. Once the launch settles, Flash produces a lot more fruit than I thought it would. I got a lot of strawberry among the white flowers. My tuberose detector is kind of subpar, so all I could smell was jasmine. It wasn't screamy, but it definitely had its voice raised. To my surprise,they both smells kinda alike...i've found that HP eau sensuelle was more to balmy,citrusy-spicy n flora-oriental scent on its initial spray....on the drydown,it turned out to be a bit sweet n creamy but not gourmand.. This has that (not Alien) but sorta like Alien strangeness, like sort of a spice or medicinal quality that just hits me right. That, and a lovely strawberry/creamy floral blended with the pink pepper. I should have known this had tuberose and lily, two creamy flower smells adding beautiful richness to the fruit.
