I was testing new perfumes with my best friend and we tried Flash Back, he said, “oh my—this smells exactly like giving you a hug.” That would have been reason enough for me to get a full bottle of this fragrance, as I’m sentimental, and it was such a kind compliment. And, it turns out, this fragrance is phenomenal, and I’m so pleased to have it. It opens so bright with the grapefruit and rhubarb, which linger far into the drydown, but the heart and base of clean woodsy musks come in as the fragrance develops, making it feel fresh and clean throughout. It’s a perfect scent for any time, but will sing in the hotter times of the year. Now for real, that’s what people can smell if I give them a hug!
