About this deal

This smells absolutely delicious on me. It is a scent that suits cooler days more, yet I have been wearing it in Summer and the compliments seem to be never ending. A friend described it as 'cinnamon apples' on me. Not too sure that matches the scents in the description, but if it smells good and attracts compliments - it's a big yes from me. Overall I like it. I was wearing it Saturday night and one of the girls asked me what smelled soooooo gooood .....she was surprised it was Flash as she said she sniffed it in the shop the other day and it was horrible...... Today I was sitting in my lounge room thinking about perfume as you do you know, and realized I hadn't put any on yet. 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. This fragrance is not very sweet, something one can wear everyday. I got an instant compliment the day I wore it for the first time. The lady at the coffee shop said, "You smell excellent !" I was like "Oh wow !" in my head.

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. 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... I don't know about tangerine as I smell zero traces of anything citrusy. It opens up a bit peppery but immediately launches into "dry" white floral that its NOT sweet, and has somewhat of a chypre feeling.

This came in my scentbox this month. My boyfriend and I both agree that on me it smells like bubble gum. Just straight bubble gum until about an hour later when it just smells like powder. I am going to try it again and see if this changes. I am jealous because he sprayed it on himself and it was a beautiful floral scent. It never changed on him, it just stayed smelling floral. I could definitely see wearing it in the winter as it just seems to smell like that is better weather for it. If it stays as bubble gum on me then I won't be wearing it. I love sweeter scents but this reminds me of sugar free bubble gum from when I was a kid. You don't have permission to access "http://www.superdrug.com/fragrance/jimmy-choo/b/409012" on this server. I'm afraid of wearing this, it's too much & can be heavy for some. Nothing I'm crazy over, not in my love category, but it goes alright. I am pleasantly surprised by this Choo creation, and upon looking at the notes I am even more surprised. Perhaps it's my chemistry but upon first spray this smells to me as a delicious aquatic with a musk undertone and a hint of vanilla. However, I find if I spray heavy and allow the opening of Flash to linger a little more, it is quite similar to other sweetish jasmine/white floral perfumes I've come across including Alien (and Burberry London but still not a dupe).

Staying power is very good,more than 6 hours with recognizable projection,I looove my gorgeous 2 Oz bottle This scent has managed an interesting blend: the pleasant tartness of a not-quite ripe strawberry w/ the sweet creaminess of pink pepper and jasmine. Just a touch of tuberose fullness to round it out makes for a fresh & semisweet tart white floral. Different and fun, this is a compliment getter on me so far. 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... The heliotrope makes this a powdery scent,but not soapy, I hate soapy scents. It is soft,because the white florals and fruit shine,creating long longevity,and projection of around a metre in the first 2 hours then it becomes a bubble around you.

If you are looking for a different kind of floral that isn't screechy this is perfect, as the tuberose is tamed by the strawberry and the notes of wood with the sparkly pink pepper make it an unusual floral,with depth and character. The top notes of strawberry, pink pepper and tangerine make Flash a much different fragrance than the original Jimmy Choo. Soft, powdery notes mingle with light, fresh notes to give a Clinique Happy-themed scent. I tried this on from a tester. The 60mls bottle was on sale. I am not a big fan of floral fruity concoctions..too many celebrity scents & an over saturated market have made this mix too common for my tastes & I tend to steer clear of them. Nothing unique, nothing mysterious or complex.

Autumn is at our doorstep...if you want a new scent to go with the new season give this one a try...this unusual seductive combination of fresh yet velvety, and floral yet spicy-sweet will keep you smiling! Well, it does me : ) As the fragrance dries I get a light burst of tuberose, lily-of-the-valley and a rosy sweetness. The strawberry compliments this and what results is a pink, pleasant floral which is 99.99% feminine.I find this fragrance glamorous and sexy. Warm flowers, woods and a little bit of that strawberry note makes it special. Its very longlasting -on my skin stays all day and changes a lot. I like this, but it's nothing special. I am a huge fan of the original Jimmy Choo fragrance, but this is just 'meh'. By all means, I don't think that every new perfume release has to be something mind-blowing and unique, and I still think that Flash is a pleasant perfume, that can and is enjoy by many people. I'd recommend it if you like rich white florals, or are looking for a good, beginner tuberose scent. Eventually, Flash dries down much sweeter, almost like bubblegum. I only get strawberry when I put my nose to the nozzle too, none on my skin. I like this more then Jimmy Choo sig EDP which i think is way too musky for me. This is more floral and a bit sweet but no way is it gourmand. I'm not crazy about the top notes which surprised me because i typically love strawberry in fragrances but then it settled into something nice. This perfume is Glam... night out on the town in NYC, actually for some reason it makes me think of what the sex in the city girls might wear. I dislike the strong sweet opening, but past that it is overall enjoyable. I like the minty, bubblegummy tuberose with a dash of pepper and jasmine. Once they settle down, you get a nice spicy white-floral fragrance. I would say this is better for early spring, because I think it could be overwhelming when it warms up. Great staying power and sillage, more so than I expected.

The base is a soft vanilla with hints of sandalwood and, excuse me if I'm wrong but I smell this; caramel. A cosy, comforting and truly original note. Very strong, almost alcohol-y, almost obnoxious, floral scent, with spikes of over-ripe fruit alongside. Not an everyday scent, would have to be for a more fancy occasion. I didn't analyze this enough to go into details but the overall scent were similar to Loverdose by Diesel, but it's maybe different after a while... Jimmy Choo Fragrances Are The Ultimate Accessories For Women And Men, Revealing Their Seduction. Objects Of Desire To Prolong The Jimmy Choo Style, And The Essence Of The Brand. Don't let this one fool you. The top notes really are NOT my taste but it settles down very nicely. I just have to ignore it for the first ten minutes, then the base notes are what I love.

The scent itself is probably one of the most distinct, exiting, recognisable fragrances I've owned. It lives up to its name as the scent comes in a flash, all ingredients blending together almost smelling like honey with an exiting twist of fruit. Simple light White Floral. I only smell the Pink Pepper in the opening very briefly - then the Strawberry steals the show. The White Flowers are blended quite well...no one note stands out to me..though I do find the overall result a little sharp for my liking. I do enjoy a floral perfume but I tend to favor a deeper, creamier blend. 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. I ask a sample of this one today in Sephoral...what can I say? I love it...it's floral and fine, but not in a conventional way...I can feel lot of tuberose, but the fragrance is fresh and sunny! Love it (and want it).
