What does Pulse smell like?

Lavender opens it, with jasmine and basil in the heart and sandalwood underneath. Citrus and fresh accords lead, joined by a green, spicy edge. The sandalwood dries it down to a woody, faintly sweet base, with a synthetic touch in the background.

Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as weak, so it reads as a light, simple daily scent. Most votes go to spring and fall, then summer, and daily wear, leisure and sport are the settings it leans towards. Azzaro Azzaro Sport and Mexx Mexx Man (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
