Jimmy Choo Flash Perfume & Body Lotion Review

Thanks be to my boyfriend and his wonderful taste, I was very happy to receive for my birthday the most recent Jimmy Choo Scent, Flash. Although scents can be tricky to describe I think this perfume is a good example of one that can be bought without having smelt it first. Reason being, this perfume has the perfect balance of sweetness and muskiness so is likely to appeal to many. Flash Eau Du Parfum contains essence of tangerine and strawberry,  giving it its freshness and sweetness, however its notes of exotic flowers and woods reveal a glorious muskiness. This perfume comes in a luxurious little bottle and is a spray. It is quite a powerful scent therefore is long lasting, I find just two squirts is enough, one to the neck and one the wrists, delicately rubbing onto the other wrist to not crush the scent. Along with the perfume I also got the perfumed body lotion to match which smells equally as divine. Its light by creamy texture absorbs into the skin after several minutes, leaving your skin to feel silky smooth, dewy and smelly fab. Be careful of wearing the two together, you can if you want to, however as I like my perfume to be subtle and more personal I find it a bit overpowering wearing it all once, like I would leave a trail behind me! The great thing about scented body lotions though is that you can wear them alone, not having to spend the extra on a perfume, I just find it a little bit more luxurious owning a bottle of perfume itself.
Overall I think this a gorgeous scent, each of its notes combined release a powerful smell that if I had to describe in three words I would say it's, Sophisticated, seductive and sweet. So if you're one for changing up your scent and would like to try something new I think this is nice one that will appeal to many a nose, so I recommend you give it a go. This product retails between £35 - £61 alone, depending on the perfume bottle size, around £35-40 on the gift set with a 100ml bottle of body lotion the same size as mine. You cannot miss it on the shelves for its super sparkly packaging, hence the title, Flash. You can also buy the body lotion alone in a 200ml bottle for around £20-£24 depending on where you get it.
