What does UDV Flash smell like?
Lemon, mandarin orange and apple lead the top, while marine notes and cardamom add an aquatic, lightly spicy edge. The heart brings a soft floral touch through orange blossom, thyme, cinnamon and lavender. Labdanum, cedarwood, amber, sandalwood and patchouli form a woody base, and the overall impression stays fresh with a little sweetness.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind. It leans towards daily and leisure wear, with some votes for business and evenings. It reads masculine and modern. Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Cologne Bleue and Rasasi Hawas for Him have a close profile.
