About
Flash Back by Olfactive Studio is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance for women and men. Flash Back was launched in 2013. The nose behind this fragrance is Olivier Cresp. Top notes are Rhubarb, Grapefruit and Orange; middle notes are Granny Smith apple and Pink Pepper; base notes are Vetiver, Cedar, Musk and Amber. Olfactive Studio launches the fifth fragrance of the collection named Flash Back. The new fragrance is inspired by a photograph by Laurent Segretier. Flash Back by Olfactive Studio takes us back to our childhood with its evocation of an olfactory reminiscence, that of the enveloping rhubarb tart, yummy, soft, succulently fresh. This tangy, vibrant fragrance unites subtly green notes of rhubarb acidulated with fresh citrusy notes of hesperides fruits in the opening, resting atop a base that is powdery, warm, lightly spicy and ambery. The base notes of vetiver and cedar give a woody sensuality. Top notes: rhubarb, orange and grapefruit. Heart: Granny Smith apple and pink pepper. Base: vetiver, cedar, amber and musk. The new fragrance was composed by acclaimed perfumer Oliver Cresp. Flash Back by Olfactive Studio is available as an Eau de Parfum in 50 ml/1.7o z and 100 ml/3.4 oz sizes at select distributors.
