Beyoncé Pulse is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Bruno Jovanovic. Pulse opens with Pear Blossom, Bergamot, and Orange, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Peony, and Orchid, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, and Vanilla. Beyoncé's Pulse carries a Statement verdict, a citrus-led wear.

Beyoncé's Pulse is as divisive as marmite, a love-it-or-hate-it citrus-vanilla cocktail that promises big but often delivers a fleeting fizz. It's affordable and fun for some, but many find its performance a major let-down and its character a bit too 'orange soda'.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, energetic, and subtle nature, coupled with frequent complaints about poor longevity and sillage, make it suitable for casual wear or light sport. It's generally too indistinct and short-lived for formal settings and probably won't project enough for a serious date, though some find it romantic.

About

Pulse opens with a zesty, almost boozy burst of Curacao and bergamot, brightened by pear blossom. This initial citrus kick smoothly transitions into a creamy floral heart of jasmine, orchid, and peony, before settling into a warm, powdery bed of vanilla, musk, and soft woods. Imagine an orange creamsicle evolving into a sweet, slightly powdery daydream.
