Flash Back in New York by Olfactive Studio is modern woody perfume; slightly smoky, warm nutty and salty with a surprising freshness.
For this Olfactive Studio fragrance, travel photographer Vivienne Gucwa took a photograph that perfumer Jérôme Epinette translated into this special fragrance.
Just as the city of New York is full of surprising contrasts, this perfume also has contrast. The beginning is spicy with cumin, saffron and sage. Light florals in the heart provide a soft accord. A surprisingly smoky and earthy note comes from smoked birch bark and vetiver. From its “big sister” Flash Back, the briny of vetiver was kept where Jérôme Epinette added a warm, enveloping twist.
On the skin, the fragrance becomes elegantly woody, slightly smoky, salty with a subtle nutty drydown.

Woody
Woody fragrances are full of character and indeed very woodsy. They can be warm, soothing and creamy, but also dry and spicy. Key ingredients are cedar wood, patchouli, sandalwood and/or vetiver. Oudh (agarwood), Palo Santo and guaiac wood have also joined the perfumer's palet, just like the fantastic synthetics such as Javanol or Iso-E-Super.
