5th Avenue Pulse

I fell in love with this cheapie, this is an affordable hidden gem! Juicy sweet blackcurrant, sweet floral heart and amber coffee base. It's lovely and so feminine! The tuberose doesn't smell bubble gummy to me, it's more of a clean and sweet kind. It doesn't remind me of Good Girl, I can't bare its synthetic base. To my nose this smells more expensive and natural than that one. Which is funny because I got this 75 ml for 12,55€ on sale. But let me tell you this so sexy I would wear this to a date no question. It's not too strong, but it's addictive sweet florals and fresh coffee notes linger around you for hours. I don't have problems with the longevity but the sillage is more on the intimate side. I honestly don't mind that, it makes it more classy. Update: Finally this is actually quite strong in terms of longevity and projection. How they done the tuberose is starting to really bother me because it's a bit shampoo like and extremely sweet. It is strange that the flower that supposed to give a little freshness and cleanliness is the sweetest component out of all. I am not so sure about this perfume anymore. Sweet lovers it's your turn! Edit: Hehe just joking I love this actually🤡❤️🤡❤️🤡❤️🤡

I'm a big fan of Elizabeth Arden perfumes: I grew up with Sunflowers and Green Tea, which were, and are, affordable and widely available. EA's perfumes sometimes perform better than more expensive, premium scents, and smell just as good. I was intrigued by the note profile of this perfume, and blind bought it, and it is a definite win. This is still going strong nearly 7 hrs after I sprayed it - I don't really get the blackcurrant and pepper - on me this is a sweet coffee, tonka bean floral (some of the sweetness is from the tuberose, but not overwhelmingly so). Not as sweet as Black Opium, but along those lines.n The bottle is enormous and, because it was put in the clearance section at my local store, I bought a back up for half the price of the original.

The fragrance opens with delightfully luscious blackcurrant, adding a burst of joyful energy. Quite quickly, it intertwines with sweet coffee. Enriched by smooth florals, all these notes create a sparkling, pleasurable composition that brings great joy in wearing. The shimmering red reflections on the label and box resonate beautifully with the character of this flanker. It captivates me and ranks among my favorite 5th Avenue editions.

It’s really nice. Warm, elegant and feminine. I find it very magnetic and attractive.

I love fruity and moody scents. Think plum, pink pepper, and wilted flowers... This wants to be that, but it's too much of a people-pleaser. It's inoffensive pleasantness (white florals 🙄) keeps it from what it could be... I bought this excited to wear it, but now I think I only liked it because I was comparing it to sugary/lighter scents in the store. On my shelf, and compared to my favoured kinds of perfumes, it's unremarkable. I'm maybe being to harsh. I like it. I overspray it to keep the lovely top notes noticable longer (they settle firmly in my hair but fade into mostly tonka bean on my skin) and because I'm not concerned with making the bottle last long. It's an anyday (but not everyday) scent. Suitable for exciting events such as grocery shopping or commuting to work.

So, so, so FUN! Love at first sniff. The black currant in the opening is so bright and sweet disappearing almost immediately leaving a sexy dry down of gummy tuberose and sweet tonka. There is depth because of the coffee but I don’t recognise it on my skin personally. It’s definitely an intimate scent, doesn’t leave a trail but it’s perfect if you want to scratch that itch and get a new fragrance at an affordable price and just shower yourself with it. I get 3-4 hours of wear but for the price I’m really happy, really wished I got more of the coffee though ❤️

I love me a good blackcurrant note! Which is odd, because as a fruit, it's kinda meh to me! This is a good blend of floral and fruitiness, probably woody? I can't sense it much, but it goes well. I didn't get any coffee note, or maybe it is well blended, as coffee often sticks out too much and ruins a perfume for me. Very affordable so I didn't mind buying it at the airport! I would probably repurchase it but maybe not anytime soon. All season and all occasion kind of perfume. A safe blind buy.

Funny how our brain works. Before reading a description, I would never guess the presence of coffee. Now all I can feel is extremely sweet cappuccino odeur + spices (tonka beens and sandalwood+ some pink pepper). It passed from summer smell because of black currant to autumn and winter. Like it nevertheless.Holds on me about 3h, intimate projection.

very nice blind buy! it makes me think of a caramel latte

Blind buy, was curious. It's a nice scent, best suitable for autumn and winter, it's sweet, very similar to Good girl by Carolina Herrera. Starts with black currant, then coffee + tuberose.

I'm editing my review as I was so harsh with this perfume and didn't give it a chance. I like it now. Not love but it's a good smell. It dries down with a sweet tonka bean scent which I enjoy and has a miscellanous floral/berry scent as well. It's a perfume you have to give time to to enjoy. It lasts average on the skin, give or take 3-4 hours. I would recommend this now but only to people looking for an overpowering tonka bean perfume.
