Dynamic Pulse

Dynamic Pulse by Adidas is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 2005 in the budget price tier. It opens with mint, lemon and lavender, moves into geranium and cardamom and dries down to cedarwood, musk and amber. Expect around 4 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Mint Cold and tingly. Great in small doses, toothpaste in large ones.
Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.

Heart

Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.

Dry-down

Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
