Flash Back
Flash Back by Olfactive Studio is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with rhubarb, grapefruit and sweet orange, moves into pink pepper and green apple and dries down to vetiver, cedarwood, amber and musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Rhubarb Tart, pink and green at once. Sour fruit with a stalky edge.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
- Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
Heart
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Green Apple Tart, crunchy and sharp. Cleaner and cooler than red apple.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
