Best Pulse by Beyoncé Alternatives & Similar Perfumes

A happy explosion of clean and pretty flowers, with oodles of petals fluttering down from the heavens. Rose and peony team up with their syrupy richness, with a ruffle of freesia, orchid and mandarin tree flower intensifying the effect. Maison Matine devised Poom Poom as a carefree ode to life.

A milky green fig oozing sweet musk.

PERFUMER
FLORIAN GALLO

Inspired by the weightlessness of a day without plans or obligations. Effervescent top notes of ripe peach and bergamot levitate over wild orchid, crisp linen and sequoia wood. Aldehydes swirl airy musk in a cloud around you.

In the muggy shade of a tropical rainforest, an orchid sways seductively. Its glistening petals tremble in anticipation, inviting a passing butterfly to consummate the intimate act of pollination. Succumbing to the allure of the silken flower, the butterfly eagerly flits forward. But as it prepares to alight, the exotic bloom abruptly transforms. Delicate leaves contort into dagger-like forelegs, seizing the bug’s fragile wings. Before the butterfly can comprehend its fate, its head is devoured, crushed between the powerful jaws of the stealthy orchid mantis.

Orchid Mantis lures you into a fragrant illusion. Juicy pear, rich rose and heady jasmine entwine with basil and ylang to suggest the intense scent of orchids. This vintage style is set against the backdrop of a humid rainforest evoked by patchouli, moss, sandalwood and vetiver. An enduring musk serves as a reminder that beauty can also be beastly.

A tribute to the scents of Colombia, this extrait de parfum suggests a late-night dinner for two under the stars. A gourmand dance of aromas is carried on the warm breeze: coffee, rum, chocolates. Powdery, pillowy vanilla and iris blur into vetiver and sandalwood for a sumptuous dream.

Perfumer: Clément Marx

Ourte’s signature vanilla, inspired by toasted waffles and caramel popcorn. Coffee with nuts, coconut on top, soaked in the finest rum. With one dirty ingredient – castoreum – that sets your senses on fire. Live crispy, play naughty.

In this perfume story, the smoky gaiac aroma is gliding across a fresh and boundless ozonic void.

The story is open to interpretation: you can smell the waterproof canvas of the parachute gear in the abstract clean woodiness of the formula; or the air from under the tarpaulin you pull off a glider in its hangar; or think of any scenario involving flying machinery and an unlimited supply of fresh air.

The perfumer wanted to achieve a hazy floating shadow of an aroma, evoking a sensation of endless dark blue space, the calm humming of an engine, and hints of gasoline or machine oil. A worthy heir to the grandpa of all hazy smoky formulas inspired by airplane wings: Guerlain’s Vol de Nuit.

You will always want more of this fragrance. The fleeting animality of cumin merges with the warm and powerful cinnamon, and the intense syrupy trail of rum reveals itself to be a fleeting pleasure.

The spicy and generous matriarch, vanilla, in search of vital euphoria, duplicates itself to the point of paroxysm. In its insatiable quest, it drags davana, whose fruity aromatic bipolarity is completed by the warm tones of cistus. Despite all this, it is not enough, the feeling of unfulfillment persists, like the woody ardor of chestnut and the biting character of vetiver. There is still desire, a desire conveyed through the vibrations of amber woods and the technology of Vinyl Gaiacol.

Perfumer: MATHILDE BIJAOUI

Spiritually, four symbolizes the wholeness of the universe, four elements, four seasons, four cardinal points, connecting us all. Kajal IV spirits us to the wilderness of the African savannah, drawing a straight line between the dawn of humans to our ever-expanding world. The undulating golden panorama caressed by sultry heat is expressed by date-sweetened leather, studded with cardamom and brushed with rum. Vanilla and musk softens and beckons.
