“Life is a flirt. Love is a game. The sky is your limit. Beyoncé Pulse Summer Edition gives you a burst of the inexplicable energy you feel during the Summer. It will leave you feeling great, ready to conquer anything, as if nothing and no one could ever resist you." (beyonceparfums.com)
Its composition is floral - fruity with fresh sparkling top notes and creamy base. The top notes include icy mandarin, pear and pink pepper. The heart is exotic and floral, featuring ginger orchid, jasmine and orange blossom. The creamy base is composed of sapphire woods, musk and benzoin.
The fragrance is available as 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum. Pulse Summer Edition was launched in 2012.

This is similar to Pulse but little more floral, personally i prefer the original scent more, both bottle are equally beautiful though :)
I shall purchase this one when I have finished my bottle of the original Pulse.
The only reason I shall wait until then, is because they are quite alike.
The only slight difference is that I find Pulse Summer slightly more heavier. They are both lovely fragrances though.
I can't wait for her 6th perfume Midnight Heat, I am so excited to see what the bottle and advertisment look like.
Keep 'em coming Beyonce, you are doing a great job so far.
Beyonce Midnight Heat is coming! SO psyched! Here's hoping it's an edp! I'm LOVING the Heat bottle done up in midnight purple/blue! I can't wait! Oh and a pic of the bottle is on fragrance.org! : )
I was really looking forward to try this, like - really! After reading all these informations, about ingredients and stuff - I really wanted a sniff!
A few days ago I noticed it on shelves. You can imagine how curious I was. So, I took the bottle (to be honest, I like Pulse bottle a lot more, while Summer edition's is quite too girly) and sprayed it on my wrist... First sniff and I said to myself: did I take the wrong bottle? I thought I took Pulse instead of this one, but I read the name again and it said Pulse Summer Edition. So I took a sniff once again. Pulse again!
It smells EXACTLY like Pulse, I can't even tell the difference at the beginning. After a while it gets a little bit more toned down than Pulse, but it's not good at all. Pulse is kinda crispy, while Summer isn't - and as it's a summer scent it should.
To me, there's nothing new about PSE. It's just like a Pulses sibiling, not to say - a twin.
I'd say Pulse's got better staying power, but maybe it's just my dissapointment.
I don't know what to think. Buy Pulse Summer only for this pinky-blue bottle? No, thanks. I get the same with Pulse and it's stylish, silver-blue bottle and a better lasting power.
I have to say this: WHY, B??
i smelled this perfume at Dillards and it smells exactly and i mean EXACTLY like lola by marc jacobs. Maybe because pink peppercorn and pear is in lola and this perfume.
I agree it is similar to the original, yet lighter, yet not as sweet, and refreshing.The perfect scent for spring weather, I like it a lot. Fruitier yet not a candy like scent.To my nose I like it better than Pulse,it is a bit more complex.
Similar to the original pulse which i also adore,this fragrance is absolutely wonderful,lasting power not great :-( yet smells gorgeous.
Pulse Summer Edition starts out exactly like the oprginal Pulse. Creamy, candied oranges. I love Pulse so I loved it but I thought it seemed too similar for me to own both.
However, during the middle and the dry down Pulse Summer Edition takes on its own personality. The candied oranges morph into candied pears and it smells sweet and yummy. Where Pulse dries down to a creamy, milky, vanllia scent the Summer Edition dries down with fresh florals and the fruitiness from the oranges and pear still lingering on.
Although I wouldnt own both at the same time due to their similarities I would definitely purchase Pulse Summer Edition when my bottle of Pulse is finished.
The lasting power for this isn't amazing, around 3 hours. It starts of bright but quickly becomes close to the skin. The freshness and fruitness make it perfect for Summer.
This actually smells good. Even though I really don't care for celeb fragrances
My experience was a little different, I sprayed both Pulse and Pulse Summer Edition on my wrists and smelled them both at the same time. At first spray Beyonce Pulse Summer Edition is a bit sharp with its florals and pink pepper. It then dries down and smells like the original pulse with a creamy bouquet of flowers but is not as creamy as the original Pulse :S.Beyonce Pulse dries down into this creamy yummy-ness that I just LOVE. I like the first Pulse better but I guess I am a bit biased since I don't like floral scents. But since that was said I will say that the composition of the "bouquet" is really good, if I liked floral scents this would definitely be a keeper but since I don't these two bottles that I bought might end up on ebay.
My first impression Of this fragrance was it's gonna be something sweet or fruity according to the package. However, when I found the tester and sampled it out, it was quite the opposite.
When you first spray it, you get the same citrus vibe as to the original Pulse. However the dry down is what sets it apart. It is a lot more fresh, like a Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue or Escada fresh, whereas the dry down to the original Pulse is a lot sweeter.
I understand why it's a woman's fragrance, because some of the floral notes but I kind of find this to be more unisex. Overall definitely a summer and daytime fragrance.
Had to test this for a bit because I was sure I had smelled the dry-down before.
The initial burst smells a little citrusy and sweet and a bit energetic. The dry-down starts to smell of pears and sweetness with a dash of benzoin. I had to keep sniffing my wrist because I knew this was similar to something. I walked into the bathrom, turned on the lights and the light flashing in my eyes hit me! EAU MEGA by Viktor and Rolf! The drydown is very similar to V&R's Eau Mega.
I rushed into my bedroom and pulled out my bottle of Eau Mega and spritzed my right wrist. They're a bit similar but Pulse Summer isn't as sweet and isn't as energetic. Glad I have both in my collection! The only thing I don't really love about Pulse Summer is the Ad! Couldn't they have thrown some flashing lights or electricity or strobes behind Beyonce? It IS supposed to be a PULSE SUMMER!
I found it! YES! I put the original on one wrist and the Summer Edition on the other. When you first put them on, they smell exactly the same. But a few seconds later, when the original gets creamy, Summer Edition stays fruity and citrusy w/ a perfect kick of pink pepper. Summer Edition has none of the original's creaminess I find. Which makes sense of course because it is the Summer Edition. Haha. It has a sweetness other than the mandarin and pear so I'm assuming it's the benzoin. I know it's nothing new or anything, but I really like it! I found my summer scent for this yr! I love me some fruity florals and Pulse Summer Edition is fruity floral perfection. The creamy base notes from the original Pulse definitely last longer on skin than all of Summer Edition. But it has fine lasting power for a lighter, summer version of the scent. Bravo again Beyonce and so far so good on the Pulse line! Luv this bottle too! : )
And CHEERS for keeping it an edp! I would have cried if it was an edt! Ha! : )
OK there is definitely PEAR in this one! Haha! At times, it kind of reminded me a little bit of V&R Eau Mega. Just a tiny bit because of the pear. Ha! : )
M A C Y S does have it! I am NEVER gonna get down there! I need to grow wings! Haha! : )
wow! i so cant wait until this is released. im sure i will really like it as i LOVE the original and the notes look great :) not too keen on the translusant pink base/lid though
I want it!! I love Pulse and the other two. Hum, that is really hard to believe that I said that since it is a celebrate perfume. BUT I DO !!! can't wait.
Hmm...I'm not sure why Beyonce felt the need to come out with a summer version of Pulse. The original would be perfect for summer days; it reminds me of sitting on the beach with a fruity cocktail in my hand. Well, I really liked the original, and I'm sure, just by looking at the notes, this one will be good too. So far I have all of Mrs. B's frags and I look forward to trying this one.
