Jimmy Choo Flash London Club

I couldn't get the 100ml bottle of Jimmy Choo Flash London Club I wanted anywhere. No department store stocks larger than 60ml and a lady in Debenhams told me that it was limited edition so was not available in the UK in bottles larger than 60ml.

The only place I could find the 100ml bottle online was worlddutyfree.com, where it teased with the £46.40 price tag, only £4.40 more than the 60ml would cost in Debenhams or House of Fraser, but you obviously can't buy online from worlddutyfree.com so my friend got the 100ml bottle for me when she was going on holiday and she gave it to me yesterday!




It smells similar to the original Flash, but they don't share many of the same notes.

Flash London Club has top notes of bergamot and lychee, a heart of tuberose and base notes of blond woods and musk.

The original Flash has top notes of strawberry, tangerine and pink pepper, heart notes of tuberose, jasmine and white lily and base notes of heliotrope and blond woods.



Flash London Club opens as a lovely, fresh, clean scent like the original. As it dries down it is quite musky and it loses a lot of what reminds me of Flash.
One thing I noticed straight away was that it has very poor projection. I don't notice this on myself like I do with the original Flash and I have seen others say the same.

It is a lovely perfume. It's a shame it doesn't project well.

A lot of people said that the name, Flash London Club was tacky and I do find it a bit cringeworthy. The bottle has also been attacked, having glitter around the bottom. It doesn't come off very easily, but it can come off.
I like the deep purple colour of the glass, but I must admit I prefer the design of the original bottle and I much prefer the scent of the original Flash as well.

The original Flash is my favourite perfume so although this limited edition doesn't live up to the original it is still really nice and I'm really glad to have the 100ml bottle.
