Impulse O2 is a body spray launched in 1997. O2 opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Lime, settles into a heart of Water Lily, Water Accord, and Apple, and dries down to a base of Musk. Impulse's O2 carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Divisive. This 90s throwback sparks intense nostalgia, yet some find the reformulation a pale imitation, while others simply remember it as a cheap sweat-masker. It's a trip down memory lane, whether good or bad.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

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

Its fresh, light profile and moderate performance make it ideal for casual daywear and even sport, but its fleeting nature and 90s body spray association diminish its suitability for formal or date settings. Many users recall wearing it during summer holidays and active times.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

This is a blast of pure 90s freshness, kicking off with a zesty trio of bergamot, lemon, and lime that's unapologetically bright. The heart introduces a cool, aqueous blend of water lily and a general water accord, softened by a crisp hint of apple. It dries down to a clean, unassuming musk, keeping things light and airy from start to finish.
