A closer look at Beyonce Pulse EDP
Pulse EDP comes from Beyonce. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Laurent Mazzone Parfums Sensual Orchid and Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like vanilla and musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €71. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Laurent Mazzone Parfums Sensual Orchid but less than Celine Dans Paris unisex and Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique.
Is Pulse your kind of scent?
The strongest accord is citrus (100%), followed by vanilla and floral. You will probably like it if you enjoy citrus and vanilla smells and notes like orchid and vanilla. Less obvious notes include pear blossom, peony and woody notes. Perfume fans rate it 3.79 out of 5.
How far Pulse spreads
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Laurent Mazzone Parfums Sensual Orchid and Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique spread further.
