Beyoncé Pulse (2011): More Deets {New Fragrance} {Celebrity Perfume}

beyonce_in_thierry_mugler.jpgAs reported yesterday, singer Beyoncé is preparing to launch her 4th perfume. Taking a step back from the Heat franchise (see: Heat; Heat Ultimate Elixir; Heat Rush), she is opening up a new imaginary and olfactory universe with Pulse. According to the perfumers Bruno Jovanovic and Loc Dong of IFF who co-created the fragrance, the approach is novel in that it establishes a new genre, the "citrus gourmand." No doubt, the style of the perfume will be updated thanks to the use of new ingredients, in particular, Pulse seems to benefit from the technical contemporary ability to make citruses last and fizz. But, when one reads "citrus gourmand", one cannot avoid thinking about Shalimar by Guerlain, which flirts with the category of gourmand and is characterized by a well-known contrast between citrusy bergamot in the top notes and a warm and deep vanilla base....
