Pulse by City Rhythm, launched in 2021 and crafted by Niles Ramadhin, captures the vibrant energy of urban life. The fragrance opens with bright citrus notes of lemon and bergamot, punctuated by pink pepper for a spicy kick. This freshness leads into a heart of hedione and ylang-ylang, creating a floral warmth that is both uplifting and comforting. The base notes of ambroxan, iso e super, and benzoin add depth with powdery woods and sweet vanilla, grounding the composition in an embraceable warmth.

Application Tips
Pulse has a bright opening that fades within two hours, so apply it generously to ensure the powdery base notes have time to develop. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than filling a room, making it perfect for daytime wear in an office or casual outings.
