What does Pulse NYC smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, while winter stays in the background. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some room for the office too.

It opens with raspberry, pomegranate, pear and peony, with jasmine adding to the floral side. Rock orchid sits in the heart. In the base, patchouli, red velvet cake, cashmere wood and amber sweeten and soften the scent. Emir Pear Potion and Valentino Valentina Pink have a close profile.
