Cash Back
Spring is just around the corner. Very close - within a knock's reach. At least in terms of the meteorological spring, even if one hasn't yet awakened to any spring feelings.
As theoretical as the beginning of spring is, Flash Back is also intended for the budding season. At least it has everything on paper that evokes thoughts of warm, sunny days.
In reality, it looks a bit different. While the opening with the appealing fresh-sour grapefruit note is somewhat successful, a flashback to past spring days just doesn’t quite happen - if anything, it leans more towards the more successful TdH. The equally greenish-sparkling rhubarb can't save it much either.
The culprit is a serious misuse of too many chemical ... uh, synthetic additives, which turn the Granny Smith into an indigestible fruit and make the vetiver appear rather old.
The approach itself may be okay, and I can imagine that the pyramid with more natural or higher-quality ingredients would conjure up a top refresher, but somehow it seems to me that someone has really pulled the cost brake.
Therefore, I wouldn't expect to hear cheerful spring elves humming at the conclusion of Flash Back, but rather the shaggy gray-red zonk. Especially when I consider the price-performance ratio. Some might even think of Cash Back in light of the damned trio of scent, longevity, and sillage.
