Olfactive Studio Flashback
If you follow our Creative Directors in Perfumery Series, we gave you a sneak peak at Celine Verleure’s fifth perfume for Olfactive Studio called Flashback. Flashback is a collaboration between avant garde artist Laurent Segretier and Master Firmenich perfumer Olivier Cresp (Celine worked with M. Cresp at Kenzo early in her career). At the January 2013 Elements Showcase, a quick spritz on the wrists for Mark and me was enough for us to start counting the days for its release.
Olivier Cresp
A tangy and vibrant fragrance, Flash Back is an olfactory reminiscence: tangy and slightly green rhubarb mixed with hesperides revives an enveloping childhood smell: that of rhubarb tart. A base note of vetiver and cedar give it woody sensuality.
Top notes: Rhubarb, Grapefruit, Orange
Middle notes: Pink pepper, Granny Smith Apple
Base notes: Vetiver, Cedar, Amber, Musks
The Olfactive Studio line will debut at Bergdorf Goodman in mid-March, 2013
