The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013, Flash by Jimmy Choo is a floral fragrance designed to capture the essence of modern femininity. Created by perfumer Christine Nagel, it opens with a vibrant burst of pink pepper and big strawberry, followed by tangerine and tuberose. The heart notes of white lily and jasmine add a sweet, powdery depth, while heliotrope and white wood provide a subtle, animalic undertone. This composition is designed to be both fresh and sophisticated, striking a balance between the bright energy of its top notes and the warm, enveloping base.
Flash is best applied to pulse points for the most lasting effect. The bright top notes are fleeting but impactful, so layering it throughout the day can keep its energy fresh and engaging.
