Jérôme Epinette launched Flash Back In New York in 2018 for Olfactive Studio, a brand known for its sophisticated and nuanced compositions. This woody spicy fragrance opens with the warmth of cumin and saffron, giving way to a heart of clary sage and linen that feels both aromatic and powdery. The base notes of leather, violet, jasmine, birch, papyrus, vetiver, and tonka bean create an earthy yet animalic backdrop, making it a scent that evolves throughout the day with subtle complexity.

Application Tips
Flash Back In New York has a long-lasting quality and moderate sillage. One or two sprays will suffice as it builds on skin gradually. Given its depth and complexity, it's best worn in cooler weather when you have time to experience its full evolution.

The story behind the bottle.
The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, where the aroma of warm spices blends with the crispness of freshly ground coffee.
