Description
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.
Jimmy Choo Flash is available as 60 and100ml eau de parfum accompanied with perfumed body care products: body care lotion 200ml, shower gel 200ml.
Aim of the creator was to introduce the unique accessory which will be as desirable as Jimmy Choo shoes or Jimmy Choo purse. The flacon is created to accentuate games of light and colored in pale purple color. Photos of the advertising campaign were taken by Steven Meisel, and advertising face of the new perfume is Natasha Poly
Flash was launched in 2013. The nose behind this fragrance is Christine Nagel.

Flowers and strawberries, it makes me feel ALIVE!

Tuberose, pink pepper, strawberry.
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.
Had this for a very long time, and the amount of times I’ve wore it, I can count on one hand.
Go lightly with application, this is a monster, so two sprays at most will be enough.
I went with 1 spray before bed, and woke up still smelling it.
Longevity is good, but my nose doesn’t
“LOVE” it. Too much tuberose.
Over all it’s ok.
videouroki – :
One of my very favorites! I do have to get past the initial spritz though…it just smells sharp and funky. After 5-10 minutes though, this turns into the most beautiful sweet white floral on me. This lasts forever on me. One application in the morning is all I need for the entire day.
Fyd3i9ma – :
Like another reviewer below mentioned, this perfume is quite bitter from the beginning.
Once it settles, all i can smell is lilies with just a hint of sweetness and powderiness. I don’t get any tuberose or strawberry.
It is definitely interesting, and usually i love perfume from Jimmy Choo, but i think you really have to love lily to wear this
Ромчик 2 2 – :
I just love this scent ! Great lasting power! Not to sweet…slightly spicy ..in a good way!
sani – :
I like this perfume, but I get a bitterness coming from the top note. Once that disappears (it doesn’t last that long), I enjoy it troughly.

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.
langford214 – :
This smells amazing! I’m in love with this… This on me smells like alien but better. Wonderful floral fragrance that has so much more to offer than a lot of other fragrances in this genre. It has a hint of unusual which gives this an edge. Lasts well and smells divine…

Back when this first came out I liked all the notes on paper “a white floral with predominant pink pepper it should be a winner” I thought. I went in the store that day eager even to blind buy a small bottle of it. But before I could act on that urge I’ve been handed SEVERAL (a total of 20ml or so) minis of it by a lovely person from Sephora. She said “why don’t you just try these, and if you’re still into it come back and get the big one.”
It has great staying power and has a nice sillage. I’ve got so many compliments whenever I wore this, it sure is a public pleaser. But even though everyone around me seemed to like it on me, I just didn’t. Something didn’t feel just right. It was too sweet and I could see myself getting bored very easily.
I’m glad I didn’t get a full bottle immediately.
бамс – :
I blind bought this today just because the sparkly box was calling my name and I have to say I LOVE IT! very sophisticated..I use to wear nothin But fruity scents not that I’m older (30) I’m loving more mature smells but still girly and pretty .. it is strong so spraying too much will give a headache … the smells last allllll day which is awesome
SYLWIA111 – :
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.
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.
A more interesting fruity note, or stronger white flowers that could stand up against the heliotrope, could have made it better. I must mention that my skin tends to emphasize vanillic notes in the drydowns of perfumes, so maybe it works better on others.
saynog – :
This is my second review on this fragrance. I think that something was wrong with the tester. I like it now, it reminds me of Alien but not as potent and mixed with strawberries. It does have the initial blast of pepper which is not my favorite..but it settles into something beautiful on me lol.
aleks010273 – :
I’ve had mixed feelings about this perfume. I liked it enough to purchase it (about 4 or 5 years ago) but found I didn’t like it enough to wear it often. Ive worn it maybe 3 times and received compliments but there’s something about it thats off putting. I adore florals but I do think its possibly the tuberose Im not liking much in this particular perfume.
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.
OMG !! so I rushed to my perfume cupboard deciding before I got there I would wear Bvlgari Omnia my absolute favourite super light spice darling. As I reached for it I intuitively also reached for Jimmy Choo Flash. Im like you know what, I think the spices are going to cut through what I don’t like about Flash and make it wearable. And voila yep success girls! !! Its gorgeous !!! Spicy rich white flowers in a ratio that works for me. Im delighted. Probably going to wear this for a whole week like this now. Try it if you have both these. Good luck 🙂

I just adore this perfume. This is one of the first real perfumes I’ve ever owned. Now after experiencing and obtaining many scents from indi to niche And designer, i still find this perfume beautiful, fun, and flirty. It opens with pink pepper and strawberry. It smells similar to “sweet tarts” hard candy. It’s fizzy and sweet. 10 minutes later sweet heady tuberose and bubblegum jasmine come out. It’s a little musky , very fizzy and bubblegum. The longevity and sillage is amazing. It’s a yummy perfume.
kia2008 – :
A beautiful scent with a heady tuberose,pink pepper,strawberry and woody is which I detect. It has a unique scent,very sparkly,and feminine,it is one of those fragrances which has a softness,but still commands power. I was pleasently surprised!
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 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.
This scent is graceful,has charm,and is for those that are afraid of l’oral scents….it has that Jimmy choo stamp on it,which is why it is a favourite of mine.
KEqginS – :
Grabbed a bottle this up for super cheap a couple months ago and just got around to testing it out. Upon first spray I couldn’t figure out what that familiar scent was, but I knew I had smelled it before… What could it be? Ah-ha, pencil shavings! Who would have thought that pencil shavings could smell so sexy? This perfume smells to me like cinnamon mixed with smoke and vanilla… with the undeniable scent of pencil shavings. This is a power perfume. I imagine an executive level woman directing a board meeting (full of men) while wearing this to accent her perfectly combed back high and tight ponytail and black pinstriped power pantsuit.
pnq336speagoessenda – :
A seriously soapy pink pepper, I like the addition of strawberry to this mix spicy floral blend, it keeps it a fun perfume. I see a confident strong business-lady, working in a office, she runs things around here. I like this perfume, a spring perfume that could probably make the transition to summer fragrance with ease.

I travel a lot for my work. International flights are great because I get to sniff lots of happy bottles at duty free shops at various airports. But once I’m on board I take good care not to suffocate fellow passengers with my monster fragrances.
I bought a mini (4ml) of Jimmy Choo Flash as something that would fit into any sealable bag and wouldn’t offend anyone. Normally I don’t wear this type of floral-fruity fragrance at all; it is way too pretty, girly and sweet for my liking. But this frequent flyer has found it to be a good travel companion.
kristinac – :
It was sitting on my shelf for the longest time, I used to wear it a lot in the past…and I am rediscovering it with pleasure..it is like a sweet warm floral, there is a hint of tuberose, but so nicely done, tuberose can be tricky for me, this is a soft fresh tuberose..the overall tone of the scent is feminine, pretty, easy to wear, with good projection…i know it isn’t like out of this world, but I enjoy also the smooth soapy undertone…liking wearing it more and more .it is kind of grown up, but modern also, and unlike many scents out there, it is quite recognizable…..and it smells so nice .
puz942speagoessenda – :
I tested this at the shops today. When I sniffed at the bottle cap I wasn’t impressed. It smelt stuffy and old-fashioned (tuberose and alcohol..) but I sprayed anyway since you can only judge a perfume when it’s on your skin. I’m sniffing it on my arm now that I’m home and it’s much better! No alcohol or mustiness. On me it’s mainly strawberries and jasmine so it’s a yummy floral. No tuberose anymore but there’s a hint of lily on a woodsy base. Silage is between soft and moderate. It’s quite nice. A bit of a skin scent.
RamRider – :
Springtime is approaching and I somehow feel the need to HAVE a new perfume. So many new releases all the time, so many to crave and want! The crazy thing, is that I look and look, but somehow end up not feeling the need to buy, because I am kind of stuck on Flash. Normally, I get bored with a scent after a while. I cannot remember the last time (if any) that I have actually emptied a bottle! But something about Flash keeps me grabbing for it. It is sweet, but not in a gourmand kind of way. It is floral, but not in a dryer sheet kind of way. It seems musky, even though none is listed as being present in the composition. It’s not listed on their website anymore, I don’t know if it’s being discontinued, but I bought five back up bottles of this juice! Yes, five. I just find it easy to wear, inoffensive, yet it has just enough “strangeness” to keep it interesting and not too mainstream. I really DO love this!
irfhbdcrbq – :
I agree with previous commenter that this is best worn in cooler weather as it can be a cloying floral. I love the top note, the first spray… yumm… Not sure I will wear this much? I am more a gourmand/vanilla/oriental or Philosophy AG kinda girl 😉
I need to wear this more to get a more final say on if it’s a keeper or not. I mean it was on clearance so yes I’ll probably keep it but I do not reach for this or am in the mood for this hardly ever
Floral. It’s a white floral alllll the way 🙂 Just like it says in description. I have JC Exotic (2014- the orange bottle). These two are nooooothing alike. And this is NOT at ALL even close to Dior Hypnotic Poison!! >.< lol ;p
fortyfork – :
Actually how much I wear so much I start to appreciate this fragrance! It’s far away from dolce the one not too much about hymn poison like I thought before on me it’s more like Lilly and strawberry whit lite musk in it even if it’s not mentioned the musk tones,the pink pepper make it mor sexy and spicy,however I love the way this perfume envelope on me 9/10
artem-korol84 – :
100/ hypnotic Poison its good but … i missed something
GettyGedsdete – :
I agree with zvrkic. There is a family resemblance between this and D&G The One. Both have a musky note that comes across as cheap to my nose. They don’t smell alike per se, but have a similar feeling in my opinion. I dislike both of them for this reason. I used to own a bottle of Flash, and thought it smelled like tuberose, strawberry and the unpleasant musky note I mentioned before. Overall, it’soft and floral. I can see why so many people like it, and would not mind being next to someone wearing it, but it’s not for me.
Meedr861Negeltzex – :
One fragrance I will always repurchase. Soft white floral, musk, lovely! It lasts for hours on the skin and is pleasantly strong, not overpowering. It’s the easiest Jimmy Choo to wear during the day and my favourite to date- after the original which I only wear at night. I’d love to try the London club version!
ser8 – :
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.
The lasting power is also very good – I can still smell it almost 8 hours after my first spray. I bought this perfume as an every day doing the chores kind of smell and it has now become one I wear on special occasions too.
zerkala – :
Oh and my all time fave if Dior HP and this has NO resemblance whatsoever!
ffq457intitytek – :
New buy on clearance tonight… Sprayed on paper and liked it enough to try and price was right. So far my first comment about this is soft but strong (weird I know lol) white floral. Will update when I wear it longer on skin 😉
vovik82 – :
Not sure who said the bottle was plastic, but mine are all glass. The cap is plastic. Overall, this is a fun scent and I really enjoy it. It’s something I can just spray on and go. Better yet, my three year old grandson says I smell yummy and gives me lots of cuddles. That’s good enough to be a winner in my book.
axel_85 – :
Blind bought this perfume after reading the reviews . Wanted to like this perfume but it just smelled so cheap and the smell hung around all day ,tried washing it off . The sign you’ve brought a good perfume is you cant smell it on yourself but everybody else can , so this perfume failed.
lovexiii – :
I think my body chemistry matches very good with Jimmy choo perfumes.I like all of them.
Perfume I use at work is very important for me because I am a make-up artist and I am in close interaction with people.Jimmy choo flash is one of the best.I put it in my drawer in salon and I use it everyday before starting my job.everyday people talk about my lovely perfume and it makes no body feel bad or headache.most people say that it smells like body powder or body lotion but a very nice and expensive one.clean and delicious in a creamy way.I can smell no pepper.It’s not very spicy for me.I can smell delicious fruit and soft flowers and vanilla.It’s strange there isn’t vanilla in list because I smell lots of vanilla but not like a candy or cake.it’s soft vanilla.flowers are soft too not heavy old style.flash is modern and casual.it’s soft but not light.it has good longevity and moderate sillage.I can’t say I love it but I like it very much.if I have ten bottles of flash I know I can use all because it don’t make me tierd and I can use it always in days but I like more elegant sexy and heavy perfumes for night party and date
7/10
جیمی چو فلش مثل تمام عطرهای جیمی چو خیلی به پوست من می سازه.برای من عطر محل کارم خیلی مهم هست چون میکاپ آرتیست هستم و ارتباط نزدیکی با مردم دارم.فلش از بهترین عطرهای کارم هست که گذاشتمش توی کشوی سالن و قبل از شروع کار همیشه استفاده می کنم و روزی نیست که مشتری هام از عطرم تعریف نکنن.تابحال نشده کسی اذیت یا سردرد بشه.همیشه میگن که عطرت شبیه بوی پودر بدن و لوسیون بدن مارک خوب و گرونقیمت هست.خوشمزه و تمیزه یجور کرمی و سافت.بنظر خودمم خیلی لطیف هست اما ضعیف و تکراری و خسته کننده نیست اصلا.من هیچ فلفل حس نمی کنم و تند نیست.بوی خوشمزه میوه و گلها و وانیل هست.خیلی عجیبه که وانیل را اینجا ننوشتن چون من وانیل زیادی حس می کنم اما نه مثل وانیل کندی و آب نبات و کیک.وانیل لطیفی داره.گلها هم خیلی لطیف هستن و اصلا سنگین و دمده و قدیمی نیستن.بااینکه عطر لطیف و مدرنی هست ماندگاری خوبی داره.پخشش متوسط هست.من اگه ده تا ازش داشته باشم هر ده تا رو می تونم استفاده کنم چون اصلا دل آدمو نمی زنه خیلیم کاربرد داره اما برای روز.برای شب و مهمونی و دیت عطرهای سنگین تر و سکسی تر و شیک تر را ترجیح میدم

igor00232 – :
WOW! So glad I gave this a shot, it is so much different from what I remember at the store years ago.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Don’t let the bottle design put you off. But be advised, don’t let the fruits in this be your guide to if you think you will like it. If you do not enjoy tuberose, steer clear of this one.
VOT7 – :
I just got that giddy feeling after trying this today that this fragrance was made for my nose. Like I had discovered some great secret. I then started reading through some reviews in disbelief that anyone else could dislike it! But that’s the beauty of scent, I guess… different flavors for appetites.
This has that (not Alien) but sorta like Alien strangeness, like sort of a spice or medicinal quality that just hits me right. That, and a lovely strawberry/creamy floral blended with the pink pepper. I should have known this had tuberose and lily, two creamy flower smells adding beautiful richness to the fruit.
I’ll characterize this as the “magic strawberry.”
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!
Edit: uh oh. I found out that this perfume makes me dizzy/nauseous. I blame the tuberose which much just be too much for me here. Definitely not a safe buy unless tested out.
plastilin174 – :
I would be careful on blind buying this. Luckily, they had a tester at kohls. It smelled like alien on me with A LOT of pepper….. maybe, it was an old bottle. I was so looking forward to smelling strawberries….
duke40k – :
It is not very often when I want to scrub off a fragrance. There is something about this perfume that makes my stomach churn. I suspect it’s the overdose of synthetic smelling strawberry that you often find as car freshener. I’m so disappointed bec I expect a lot from this perfume as this is by one of my favorite nose Christine Nagel who also created Guerlain Gourmand Coquin, Miss Dior Chérie and Jo Malone Ginger Biscuit.
Han8581 – :
This fragrance is light and inoffensive. I don’t dislike it, but I can’t get past a middle note that smells strongly of pine o clean/cleaning product… probably coming from the white flowers. But others I know who have smelt it don’t get this impression, so it could be a personal thing. Still, I wouldn’t blind buy this one if you’re not a fan of super fresh white flowers.
JameqqFG – :
Just got a sample of this. What a perfect jewel. Soft white floral with a subtle hint of berries. You will love it in a flash!
zla915JeomiWogkig – :
First time I smelt this I said to myself this has to be the perfume Cinderella wore to find the glass slippers and bought two bottles. A year later I purchase a tester and it’s the same scent. Now I just get a creamy tuberose medicine scent. My mom said I smelled good like “oranges that have been put in a paper bag in a cellar in southern Georgia.” I feel like it’s a fall winter fragrance. But still I believe any fragrance can be worn in any weather it just depends in how much u apply in hot weather.
witol – :
Now that I think about it this really does smell like toothpaste, as mentioned below. It has a minty aspect to it which doesn’t quite make sense when looking at the notes. I used to enjoy it for the strawberry, white floral and slightly spicy and sharp pink pepper but now it is just sweet toothpaste.
nikolay – :
I bought this perfume a fair while ago, it is quite simple, but simple isn’t always a bad thing. Some fragrances, particularly ones made these days to try and outdo previous scents are way too complex and it ruins the whole perfume. This could be slightly more detailed, having purely top notes of fruit and middle notes of flowers like jasmine and lily. When i first spray it, for a few seconds, until settling in a little, it smells like a very sweet, fruit flavoured toothpaste. Does anyone else smell that too? It is a nice, simple scent, but not one I’d use for a particularly special event or date – more of nice lazy day perfume.
Voronbass – :
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.
A nice introduction for those wanting to move away from Vanilla and Patchouli and explore the world of Floral. Soft silage. Fresh and easy daytime wear.
FriendLily – :
This one bloomes on my skin! I like it so much and everytime I wear it I get compliments. It’s so strange that a lot of people find it synthetic, I really think that it is beautiful and sparkling. I purchased this one because I smelled such a gorgeous lily, to me that flower is the dominant note. Then comes the tuberose, and the strawberry only gives warmth and sweetness. I don’t know if I would repurchase but for now I will wear this one with pleasure.
trunc – :
I have to disagree with, well, pretty much everyone on here! I disliked this intensely, I thought it dry, overpowering and far too sweet. To me it smells like something marketed at teenagers (I’m 32). I will say the staying power in impressive though, as I have tried to scrub it off and its still here, probably the cause of this headache!
Starpom007 – :
I’ve been on an exhaustive and expensive search for a soft, sweet pink pepper scent and finally my search is over! This is exactly what I was looking for. The most prominent notes are pink pepper followed by heliotrope and strawberry and then a nice soft vanilla. It’s very cosy and girly.
serjoga396 – :
Oh my my,what an amazing scent for such an affordable price,it’s beyond my expectations!
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
In jimmy choo flash there IS this balance,there is a fruity note,a non synthetic strawberry,that stands besides soft spiced white floral cream and adds youthfulness and freshness to this warm cashmer florals,flash is feminine and gorgeously delicious…I can mostly pickup strawberry,tuberose,heliotrope and vanilla..it’s very strange that vanilla isn’t listed as a note,maybe heliotrope is tricking my nose and playing the role of a soft powdered vanilla?! I can feel pink pepper just in the opening,and I’m not a fan of it but drydown is truly Devine,creamy white florals,sparkly strawberry,soft powdered heliotrope,I can’t get enough of it
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
Staying power is very good,more than 6 hours with recognizable projection,I looove my gorgeous 2 Oz bottle
❤❤❤❤
dnd1718 – :
I see no comparison with Hypnotic Poison, yet it stands on its own merits. it smells feminine, blended smooth white florals with a fruity vibe , I truly like it!! I just dislike the plasticky harsh dry edge of HP..!? Flash is interesting, it lasts long enough. Smells great, and is wearable all seasons I think..for the price it is a very likeable scent, even if it isn’t outstanding…I like to have it in my collection it smells womanly, modern still…
андрей -ден – :
I don’t know whether it is laughable or offensive that people are comparing this concoction to hypnotic poison. It will never be on that level. Hypnotic poison is a refined master piece. This is the furtherest thing from. This perfume is nice for a teenager and may be fun. I think this is girly, but not at all womanly. It is cheap smelling, gaudy and tacky like the bottle it is in really.
I am a fan of the original Jimmy Choo’s very classy smelling- But this absolutely not- this is like Jimmy Choo’s fickle younger ostentatious sister.
There is absolutely nothing deep dark mysterious or alluring about this fragrance.
P.s. this fragrance is very popular among chavs, which adds further insult to injury for me.
kul655speagoessenda – :
Je ne le trouve plus sur les boutiques de ventes en ligne. Est il discontinué?
title – :
I tried a dab of Alien body cream the other day and it really reminded me of Jimmy Choo Flash. Similar opening, with white flowers, both have Jasmine. And the dry down was warm almost wintergreen ambery woods. Both are lovely, and mysterious.
Brarymnardons – :
Lovely soft woody fruity fragrance
dimka82 – :
Totally not impressed with this one. All I got was white floral – no fruits or spices, only white lilly and some tuberose. Clean, safe, office friendly…and boring scent. Moderate longevity and heavy sillage, more of a spring and summer scent.
4manua – :
Another on clearance at good ole Marshalls. This is quite heady and potent with floral goodness.very sharp and sophisticated in the drydown. I like!!! I smell tuberose…and blonde woods! Good buy!solid like also!!!
Vovo – :
Wearing this today. So I’ve had this for a few years now got it one Christmas. I have looked at the other reviews and then sniffed my wrist again.. it does have a slight resemblance to HP! Weird because I never saw that before. But I find if you have a light sniff on first spray you can smell the similarities between the two. Also to me it seems similar to Christina Aguilera – By Night? I dont really know how this is meant to make you feel but I dont feel very “flashy”. I just think it is a pleasant fragrance to wear in the day mainly, but can be good for the evening too. Longevity is good! Sillage also – someone who walked past me at work just told me I smell great 🙂
Aleksandra Potapka – :
I’ve found my #1 glam perfume! I love this fragrance so much, every time I wear it I feel like going out. I smell a combination of strawberry, vanilla and white florals, with some pink pepper- it smells tasty! I’m glad it’s apparently not popular because that makes it all the more special for me. Though it’s very glam to me, I could still see it being an everyday scent and it could add some dazz to any outfit!
GIPS – :
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…
Not something I had expect or want to use but still wearable
Foonsezistins – :
I saw this at TJ Maxx for 24.99 and thought of getting it but didn’t want to risk another blind buy disaster as I recall smelling it when it first came out and was like “meh”. so I went to Jimmy choo store, smelled it there and decided it was worth having.
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.
for the life of me I cant understand how can anyone think this is sweet and resemble Hypnotic Poison. I think it actually resembles Pure Poison quite a bit. I think if you like one, you will definitely like the other. This is a rather interesting departure from other Jimmy choo scents which are ALL sweet
hepper – :
A total blind buy from the internet. I didn’t expect anything great from Jimmy Choo as I don’t really favour Jimmy Choo Jimmy Choo — tad overpowered to my nose. Upon receiving I straight away open it and spray onto my skin, it’s smell ahhhh so fresh, ‘flash’, something different to my nose. Once in a while I detected a fresh linen and mint even though the notes aren’t in the list. A little complex scent, white floral but not too flowery, fruity but not sweet with noticeable woody and fresh spices scent. Longevity – quite impressive, silage – good too. Housemates noticed that I’m wearing a new scent even though she’s sitting about 5 meters away from me — heavy but not overpowering or pungent. I love my blind purchase.
Update: The longevity is excellent — I must say. I sprayed at 8.00am, I still can smell this lovely fragrance even now, 4pm. If I could still smell this at 6pm later, wait no longer — I’llorder the second bottle immediately.
79233655419 – :
I detect something sour in the dry down. It’s as if some of the notes are competing rather than complementing each other. I do however love Jimmy Choo Stars.
drobis777 – :
I just received this in a swap and I fell in love at first sniff. It smells very and I mean VERY similar to Dior’s Hypnotic poison and HP Sensuelle. I tested all three side by side and they definitely are related. Flash’s opening is fresh, tart fruit and peppory but 5 minutes later that subsides and it becomes Dior’s little sister. So warm, sensual and mysterious. The longevity and sillage are amazing, it really does linger and stay on the all day. This is definitely (in my opinion) a cheaper alternative to HP or HP Sensuelle. This perfume is perfect for clubs or special occasions, its meant to linger and leave an impression. It has a very seductive aura about it. You want Dior but dont want to put a dent in your wallet, try Flash first. 😉

Received a sample of this in a swap with Perfume Whore. What a lovely surprise! I was always curious. I love white florals these days and have a soft spot for the gaudy bottle.
What surprised me was that there is no vanilla flower listed! If you like the Body Shop Madagascan Vanilla Flower and HP Eau Sensuelle, you will enjoy this. They don’t smell the same but have similar characteristics.
EDIT: Just saw the nose is Christine Nagel. That makes sense. She makes such wonderful feminine blends.

Sitting here wondering why I didn’t discover this gem sooner but hey, I’m really glad I received this as a gift. I am in love with this fragrance. Just like someone pointed out down below me I too can smell vanilla even though the note isn’t listed. This one smells better than the original Jimmy Choo to me. I layered this one with the body lotion and might I add smells identical to the perfume. I sprayed this on last night and woke up and could still smell the scent so it can easily last well over 7 hours! Don’t sleep on this one guys! The only world I have to describe this scent is that it smells LUXURIOUS!!

One beautiful bouquet of sweet white flowers, sprinkled with pepper. Strange mix? Not at all! FLASH reminds me of Dolce&Gabbana L’eau The One. I bought D&G, spending the winter 10 years ago on a seaside. This beautiful mix of salty, humid chilly air and aura of D&G enveloped me in a smoke of dreams… Life goes on in circles, I live on a seaside again. And FLASH came into my life now. A little bit more sweet and less spicy, bright pink/lavender (I mean the color) scent surrounds me. I love the mix of tuberose and white lillies, strawberries and blond wood. Not seductive
