Shalimar: the history of the first amber fragrance

Impulse Throwback O2 is a women's fragrance mist from 2023, created for those who love a lighthearted mood, freshness, and a distinctive scent trail.
The fragrance is part of the Throwback Collection and continues the idea of a nostalgic return to the brand's recognizable aesthetic.
The release comes from Impulse, a British brand founded in 1986 that later became part of the global Unilever group.
The brand traditionally appeals to those who live boldly, trust their emotions, and choose fragrance as a quick way to express how they feel.
Impulse Throwback O2 belongs to the floral family and combines citrus freshness, green nuances, transparent florals, and a soft woody-musky base.
This combination creates the impression of a clean, airy fragrance with noticeable dynamism: it opens bright and sparkling, then becomes more floral before taking on a warm and comforting character in the dry-down.
The top of the pyramid is built around bergamot, lemon, and a green accord. The heart unfolds with freesia, water lily, and jasmine, adding a light floral softness to the composition.
Amber, cedar, and musk form the base, allowing the fresh opening to gradually acquire a deeper and longer-lasting character.
According to the stated characteristics, Impulse Throwback O2 has a very strong sillage, so the fragrance can make a noticeable presence in its surroundings.
Despite its fragrance-mist format, it is best viewed not merely as a weightless refreshing spray, but also as a full-fledged finishing touch to an outfit, especially when you want to leave a vivid impression.
No precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing have been provided for this release.
It is best to determine the ideal amount gradually: start with a small quantity and assess how the composition develops on your skin, then apply more if necessary.
This approach is especially suitable when the sillage is very strong.
The fragrance will appeal to fans of fresh floral compositions with green and citrus facets.
It can be chosen for everyday activities, walks, meetings, and any situation when you want to refresh your look quickly and give it an energetic mood.
Impulse Throwback O2 is not limited to a particular season: the citrus and green notes make it especially appealing in warm weather, while the ambery-woody base also supports it on cooler days.
This is a noticeable, emotional, and instantly recognizable choice for those who love the combination of cleanliness, florals, and a distinctive presence.
To further explore compositions with a similar mood, consider Brocard Strawberry Rhubarb Caviar, as well as Laura Biagiotti Laura and Gianfranco Ferre Gieffeffe.
Each of these fragrances has its own distinctive accent, but they share an interest in floral accords and an expressive, feminine character.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A weightless, fragrant veil with a light concentration delicately refreshes the skin and gives a feeling of cleanliness and comfort
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The top notes open with fresh bergamot, lemon and a green accord, creating a bright, sparkling start.
At the heart of the composition, freesia, water lily and jasmine make the fragrance softer and add a sheer floral touch.
Base notes of amber, cedar and musk lend warmth, depth and character to the trail.
As a result, Impulse Throwback O2 combines citrus freshness, green purity, delicate white florals and a woody-musky dry-down.
