What does 5th Avenue NYC Pulse smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick leisure, nights out and evenings for it, with business and daily wear close behind. It reads as a feminine scent.

The overall impression is floral and fruity: tuberose and magnolia lead, blackcurrant absolute adds a fruity brightness and pink pepper a light edge. Mocaccino and tonka bean give it a gourmand, creamy, sweet side, while sandalwood softens everything with a woody, powdery base.
