Beyonce and New York City. Contains top notes of raspberry, pomegranate, Bartlett

unique clear glass bottle with a metallic blue lid/case that keeps the bottle
upright.
Review: Yes, I am reading your mind right now... not another celebrity fragrance! I was
thinking something similar when I heard that Beyonce was releasing her second
perfume. That was until I was introduced to Beyonce Pulse NYC and I saw that
this was no ordinary fragrance – this one was unique and now I am besotted! My
adoration for Beyonce Pulse NYC started with the sleek metallic silver box with
the fragrance name adorned across it in a beautiful turquoise blue. Once opened,
a simply stunning sleek bottle slid out of the packaging, delicately tucked
away in an eye-catching metallic blue case which also acts as the lid, holding
the bottle up-side down. After a few ooh’s and aah’s, I spritzed this
floral-chypre perfume along my pulse points and that’s when the magic happened.
This stunning inviting floral scent enveloped me without overpowering me, and
gave me a sense of power and femininity. At work when I received Beyonce Pulse
NYC, my work colleagues all started to turn from their desks to ask me what I
was wearing and others passing through the corridor stopped to comment on the
fragrance as well! Of all of the employees I work with, only one thought the
fragrance was a little too sweet, but having experienced many sickly sweet
fragrances in my time, I would not even put Beyonce Pulse NYC anywhere near
that category. Whilst everyone is bound to pinpoint different notes in the
fragrance at different times, I can pinpoint the jasmine sambac, Bartlett pear
and delicious raspberry as well. Overall, the ingredients blend to create a
lovely rich berry experience. Once I have taken in the scent, my nostrils are
left with the richer after-scent of musk and red velvet cupcake. It is truly
delicious. Pulse NYC is available in two sizes and is at a very affordable
price point. It is rare that I say this, but I would actually be prepared to
pay more for this sophisticated and sensual fragrance because it really does create
a mood and helps to influence mine as well. I am so glad that this fragrance
was launched only in EDP because I think an EDT version of this fragrance would
only spoil the notes and the overall atmosphere that this head-turning
fragrance creates.
Tip: Spritz on your pulse points, behind your ear
lobes, and also try spritzing it in the air and walking into it so that your
hair smells fruity and divine all day long.
