Flash Back in New York
Flash Back in New York by Olfactive Studio is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with cumin, clary sage, cotton and saffron, moves into violet, leather and jasmine and dries down to birch tar, papyrus, vetiver and tonka bean. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cumin Warm, spicy and unmistakably sweaty. Divides rooms.
- Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
- Cotton Soft, airy and clean. Like a shirt off the line.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Heart
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Birch Tar Smoked, tarry and campfire-like. The classic way to build leather.
- Papyrus Dry, smoky, papery wood. Vetiver's quieter cousin.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
