About this deal

After a while the notes becomes more apparent and I can smell the tangerine *Hmmm* a sugary sweetness (strawberry?) and a featherlight tuberose note that is sprinkled with a dash of pepper, but nothing in this scent is too harsh. It's a very well balanced creation and I love it because its fresh/floral/spicy and sweet without that it smells like a mess!

Jimmy Choo FLASH Eau de Parfum 60ml- Boots

The lily I first detected is really only there in the opening. The jasmine really takes over in the floral department as it's worn in with just a smidge of tuberose. Again I'd like to add the strawberry in this is TART, not the kind that goes so syrupy and often offputting in other fragrances. (i.e. nowhere near as sweet as Valentina's strawberry notes) Whereas jimmy choo's flash,it starts off with spicy-peppery scent.a little bit citrusy but not that much/not so noticeable...as I assume the pepper dominates the most n somehow hindered the tangerine fruit.then comes the floral-oriental part..it also smells powdery n sort of strawberry-ish sweet scent..maybe it's just me as I sense cinnamon-like smell in flash..not much but the cinnamon thingy was there although it isn't stated as one of the ingredients used. WOW! So glad I gave this a shot, it is so much different from what I remember at the store years ago. P.S. Can't vouche for Eau Sensuelle but really, this is NOT LIKE HYPNOTIC POISON. This is tangy/tart, no coconut/almond, much less 'plush' creamy sugaryness. This is closer to (name a fragrance with raspberry zing + pink pepper) than Hypnotic... It's a fresh breath from the *usual * gourmand and IMHO is far more original than Choo's "Jimmy Choo".

On me, I get zero fruitiness, no strawberry at all. It opens up with a powdery pink pepper. After about fifteen minutes, it becomes a woody, powdery, tuberose! Well, this perfume is distinct. It is a scent that you can easily fall victim to adoring. As I am on my second bottle. The perfume itself is a light lavender colour in a studded cube bottle topped with a crystal shaped lid. The bottle doesn't really do it for me, but the perfume itself is fascinating.

Flash Jimmy Choo perfume - a fragrance for women 2013

I have the vial sample of jimmy choo's flash n also hypnotic poison eau sensuelle by dior...i sprayed both on my wrists..yesterday I sprayed HP eau sensuelle n today I spray flash. Oversimplified late-night, first impression review: opening is juicy tart strawberry goodness (what? I like strawberry notes now?!) and very well blended tuberose, gentle jasmine, and lily. After 45 mins or so it starts to have marshmallowy tones, the now more settled/smooth white florals, and pink pepper sweetness. I really really like it! Sillage is good so far. Jimmy Choo Flash is available as 60 and100ml eau de parfum accompanied with perfumed body care products: body care lotion 200ml, shower gel 200ml.Flash is constructed as a fragrance which accentuates delicate white flower notes with a hint of spices and fruit. Top notes encompass passionate strawberry combined with tangerine and pink pepper adding exciting and cheerful note to white floral notes in the heart. The white bouquet is composed of tuberose, jasmine and white lily on a base of heliotrope and blond wood. Flash begins with with...well, a flash of pepper and citrus. For a split second, it reminded me of Clinique Happy. It's quite a blast, I will say. Once the launch settles, Flash produces a lot more fruit than I thought it would. I got a lot of strawberry among the white flowers. My tuberose detector is kind of subpar, so all I could smell was jasmine. It wasn't screamy, but it definitely had its voice raised. Staying power is very good,more than 6 hours with recognizable projection,I looove my gorgeous 2 Oz bottle The perfumer of this scent is also the one responsible for NR, and I can definitely smell and feel a signature musky presence in this as well.

I like fresh and modern tuberose scents, the kind that still retain the special hypnotic quality of tuberose without being overwhelming. Jimmy Choo Flash belongs to that category, but it's not my favorite. It's perfectly nice, but a bit boring.I'm going to use it in Summer nights,also spring and fall,day or night and winter days,it's a 4season perfume and better be used in mild weather.I can't see resemblances between this and hp,just creaminess and soft delicious powder in both of them but overall they are very different to my nose I love white florals,tuberose and lily are my beloved ones but I mostly need a fruity note to balance their heavy indolic creaminess to turn them to a wearable fragrance for me The opening is fresh and fruity, but I don't really get strawberries. Maybe some very unripe early spring strawberries from a hothouse, if I'm generous. The tuberose note is quite nice, mixed with the slight spiciness of lily it becomes very feminine and skin-like. But after a while heliotrope comes in and overpowers the other flowers. I like heliotrope, but its vanilla-almond aspect becomes too strong on my skin in this case. First it blends with the white flowers to a plastic doll smell and then it dries down to a very simple sweet scent. It's alright, not cloying or otherwise bad, Flash just misses that certain something that would make me buy it. After an hour or so, the pepper is thankfully gone and heliotrope and strawberry come into play, making this white floral a lot sweeter and lovelier. I'm usually not into fruit notes but the strawberry is really making this fragrance something different. It's definitely not dominating the scent, making this just another run-of-the-mill fruity floral, it's just adding smoothness and a little bit of sweet. Juvenile? Cheap? Not to me. I feel this is one of the most special perfumes I've smelled. It doesn't seem to take itself too seriously. It makes me swoon, and I guess that is all I was really looking for. I absolutely love this and must be on the lookout for it. Happy sniffing, people!

I've given up attempting to compare twenty-first century fragrances to twentieth-century perfumes. In the case of Jimmy Choo Flash, I feel that the only comparisons which make much sense are with the predecessor namesakes. I find no resemblance between this juice and Dior Hypnotic Poison, which many Fragrantica reviewers do find. Of course, I have yet to smell the reformulation of that perfume... In all honesty, I think this would have sold much better, if put into a different bottle. The color of the juice, along with the bottle design, imply a more immature, playful image. Had it been sold in a simpler bottle design, maybe similar to Narciso Rodriguez, it might have gotten a wider audience of a bit older age group. I actually get a lot of woodiness from this, sort of like pencil shavings. It has a creaminess about it, but also remains fairly sharp for about a half hour after applying.Once the drydown commences, the heliotrope pushes its way in. I can smell the slightly-sweet doughiness among the soft wood and persistent white flowers. The fragrance lasts for a moderate-to-long amount of time--maybe 5-7 hours. The projection is moderate at most.
