The review
On paper, Pulse is a strong bet if you want Bleu de Chanel L'Exclusif for less.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Bleu de Chanel L'Exclusif's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $64 per 100ml it costs 68% less than Bleu de Chanel L'Exclusif — the 5th cheapest of 5 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength HK Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on grapefruit, bergamot and cardamom, turns to iris, nutmeg and jasmine, and settles into sandalwood, amberwood and vetiver. That is the brief Pulse is working from.

Bleu de Chanel taken to its richest and most resinous, sandalwood swallowing the citrus.
