Pulse NYC

I purchased a large bottle of this because it was cheaper than the smaller one at the time and I thought oh good how could you go wrong I don't mind most of B's perfumes this should be a pleaser. NOPE!! B should just stop trying the fruity,patchouli trend because she does not do it well. I am sure she had great intentions as she is always on trend but in the case of this style that is in the perfume world at the moment B has missed the boat. This smells like Jimmy Choo or Flowerbomb mixed with water and some other indistinguishable notes all mixing together like a summer version of Jimmy Choo or Flowerbomb and a little of Heidi Klums shine summer edition executed extremely poorly. Then there is the whole "red cupcakes" saga. I can think of a million things to represent the buzz of New York and Beyonce thinks of "red cupcakes" really B common that is just going off on a tangent in a major way. Incidentally I cannot smell anything remotely like cupcakes, who thinks of red velvet cupcakes when they are in New York? I do spritz this on if I am at home or going to do shopping or something casual but something about it just gets up my nose and I keep trying to put my finger on what it smells like because it always gives you the impression it smells like something out there but you realise eventually it doesn't it is just a bit of a mess and winds up just being a confusing experience for the whole time you wear it. It doesn't ever seem to have it's own personality it's like she said ok I am going to follow the trend and put out a perfume with patchouli tick, indistinguishable fruit tick, raspberries tick oh and slap the name Pulse on it, that will do just chuck it out there I am sure people will love it. I don't and I am disappointed I didn't have any expectations I like to just smell a flanker with an open mind but this was a shock just not what I would ever have expected to smell. People are right in saying it smells like Midnight Heat which was OK on a good day so why bottle something that smells so similar and executed even worse. Very strange. Let's hope she comes out with either another Heat that smells completely different or try Pulse again but just avoid the whole patchouli, fruit clash.

This has grown on me. I gave a rather negative review of it because truthfully at the time I was sick of this sort of smell. There is Flowerbomb, Angel, Wish, Jimmy Choo and so at one stage every perfume seemed to be a rip off of those or a combination of 1 or 2 of them. The more I wear this the more I like it. Jimmy Choo turns too soapy, musky, Flowerbomb too heavy with the powder, Wish is nice no problem with that and Angel well need to go light with that one. This one has the aspects of all the ones mentioned above but it keeps the fruity sweet touch that rounds it out nicely it doesn't just dry to powder or soap and musk. I have seen Jimmy Choo Exotic advertised and this NYC Pulse is what I imagine Jimmy Choo Exotic to resemble. A nice mixture of powder and fruit and cupcake and no dreaded soap lurking around. I still don't think this reminds me of anything to do with New York but it is one of Beyonce's nicest but of course it is a limited edition. Why do the nicer ones have to be limited. I get sick of Heat Rush and Heat but I have not found myself getting sick of this one it suits my skin very well it blends in it doesn't assault me like some celeb perfumes. Hopefully there will still be bottles floating around in the future that I can continue to buy because I would repurchase this I have done an about turn on this fragrance. This is why I never give up, you never know what you might like in time to come;)

Looking for a substitute for Deci Dela, and with some digging I came across this one. Yes I know it's ladies, but the more research and testing I do, the more I realise that girls have such a better choice of fragrances, so many mens fragrances smell so generic. I digress, this is so good. I sprayed it 10 hours ago, and since sprayed Bvlgari Homme Soir on top, the Bvlgari has gone and I can still smell the Pulse NYC. The opening hit is sugary raspberry, it takes its time to develop, but the sugary'ness continues and the patchouli starts to develop. I don't get the floral notes in this at all, just the fruity notes and cupcake. It is definitely a gourmand scent, perfect for use day or night. The lasting power I find incredible, 10 hours or so, I know it's edp but it really does have incredible longevity, weird that guys and girls have said I smelled really good. One I will use sparingly, very very similar to Nina Ricci's Deci Dela, which is sadly a thing of the past. I have to say when I started delving into fragrances I was put off by Celebrity names, but I have to say some of them are seriously good, this one, and the original being among the best, the Summer version is on order, so I will be reviewing that soon. Only criticism here would be the bottle, it's a bit on the tacky side, and not the most sturdy design. All in all, LOVE!!!

I was drawn by the holographic package that the perfume comes in. I wanted to add a Beyonce fume to my collection anyways, so I gave Pulse NYC a try. On the first sniff I thought of Pineapples, so I have been very surprised that theres actually no Pineapple in the notes at all!`But still it smells like Pineapple in the beginning to me. Maybe that ́s because of the Pomegranate, I don ́t know. Later on it calms down and gets sweeter and warmer, but still there ́s this fresh fruity undertone and you can defenetly smell some cake, which I think is awesome! I love gourmand scents and this one is really nice! The longer I wear it, the more I like it. It has this vanilla cake rasperry scent that is really delicious, but it ́s not too heavy. I think it ́s a good gourmand scent to wear during the summer. I think I ́m going to love it!

Just recieved it from eBay today!! Just tested it out & loved it! Smells very sweet almost baked goods sweet mixed with fruits. I've only had it on for about an hour so I can't say much about how long it lasts. However, I just wanted to review it so much since I was excited lol. I am happy with it thus far & am happy with my purchases. I can say that towards the dry down I can smell the red velvet cupcake note moreso then in the initial spray. It's great if you like that style of scents or just love Beyoncé & add the beauty to your collection. Thanks for reading! P.S. If anyone knows of where it's being sold in the U.S. I'd love to know. In addition, if anyone from overseas is interested in selling a bottle, lotion, or shower gel please let me know via Private message. Thanks in advance!

and of course with this one i found the similarity smell scent with "Euphoria by CK" but different when its comes to base but still almost same , also believe by britney spears , i don't know why but this is the truth for me, if anyone want to try compares them just try it , and see the result if am i right or wrong , , , so just check them out but among them , i had to choose Pulse NYC cause its freshness and cake earthy to its , but longevity goes to Euphoria by CK and believe by britney spears for the winner , hope u all can see it just like i did ,

I just bought this at TJ MaXx for $20.00 tonight, and I think this is amazing! I was super surprised to find it at TJMaxx, for 1. It is not even quite 6 months old yet, so It's pretty new and 2. I thought this was a limited Edition for NYC only? This gives me hope we may see Beyoncé's new Limited Edt. Heat Mrs.carter in concert bla,bla whatever, in TJ Maxx and Marshal's soon, so I will not spend the big bucks for it and get it for 20 or 30 dollars in 6 months or so. It's worth a shot and will save about 50 bucks like I just did with Pulse NYC! :)

I bought Pulse NYC few days ago only because I have read here it is similar to Prada Candy and because it was on a sale. Well... I have to say it is totally different to Prada Candy! I don't understand how so many people voted it is similar. However today I discovered all those votes are deleted off this page. Weird... I also own Beyoncé's original Pulse and surprisingly the dry dawn of it slightly reminds me of Prada Candy. Very slightly. Something soft powdery and caramelish, but still not close to Prada Candy.

I guess I must be crazy, because I love this perfume! The floral/fruity aspect by itself is nice in a "mainstream" way, but what makes this incredible is the mix of cupcake and patchouli. It rather reminds me of Invictus, in that I sort of want to feel grossed out by the strange combination of notes, but I also enjoy that blend immensely. A VERY powerful fragrance, use with caution. Weird? Sure! But as a certain someone once said, "It's fine to be weird".

I was so surprised to see this at one of the TJ Maxx's in my area for $10! Got it tonight! Wasn't planning on getting it.. but when I saw the 50ml so cheap & knowing it's a recent scent and has patchouli which I love I had to snatch it up! And I'm glad I did... It's Wonderful! Awesome sillage,and I've had it on for all night it's as if I just sprayed it. I'm loving this! But it's limited edition... I better get another one quick!

This one is nothing like the original Pulse or the Summer edition to Pulse...I am a fan of all three but this one is way different that the first two. I agree that is does have a sweet smell that kind of reminds me of chocolate at first, then a nice cupcake, then the floral I smell last... I was blessed to find it for $14.99... I love it!

I got this from Tjmaxx today! :) Soooooooo excited it finally came to a store and I didn't have to buy it online again! It doesn't really smell anything like the original! It's more different. More fruity, by far! Personally, I hate the original Pulse but love this one! The bottle is really nice too!

I really LOVE this perfume. The first time I smelled this I thought the smell was too strong but after it dried down the smell is just like heaven. It's not too sweet. It reminds me of cupcake. It'd become one of my favorite fragrances now.

This is my signature and lasts all day It kind of smells like bakery with sweet cookies and lingers close around you I cant say it reminds me of anything else So soft and comfortable to wear

I bought the knock off from five below as well. I see someone else in the reviews liked it too. I don't know what the authentic one smells like. But the knock off is amazing.

A lovely perfume,shares similarities between heat and midnight heat which i adore.

I love this perfume. The dry down on my skin is the same as chopard wish.

AMAZING!!! MORE ELECTRIFYING THAN THE ORIGINAL!

I love the smell of cupcakes!!!!!

Where is this being sold already?
