What does Pulse smell like?

Its longevity is weak and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, though some choose it for a night out. Most voters find it feminine and modern.

The top of pear blossom, curaçao and bergamot gives it a fruity, citrus freshness. In the heart, jasmine, bluebird orchid and peony form a floral core. The base of musk, precious woods and Bourbon vanilla sweetens it and adds a soft gourmand touch. Moschino Pink Bouquet and Jimmy Choo L'Eau have a close profile.
