This is a love or hate fragrance for many, and a fragrance most will choose to wear for a summer day. I have to start by saying that this is in my top 2 Byredo fragrances and one I adore for early fall days.
Pulp is a conglomerate of sweet ripened fruits with amazingly intense flavor; you can easily pick apart the fruity notes in the cocktail. I think this does well in summer but it is perfection for a warm to mild fall day. Mainly a Fig, Red Apple, Black Currant, and Bergamot fragrance, it still has enough woods in the base to keep its depth. I adore this one and glad people around me loves it as well. True it is not for the faint of heart, it is one that I will always have and cherish. Here a little goes a long way.
abj612speagoessenda – :
As a fruit lover, I so wanted to love this, but I just don’t. It has a Bubble Yum element to it I’m not comfortable with, and there’s something about it that smells like decay. There’s something sexy about luscious overripe fruit, especially on a curvy woman, but the line should be drawn at rancid.
vlad0114 – :
I get Autumn from this… i would find it way too overpowering for a summer scent!
To me, it smells like walking through an orchard on a warm Autumn evening, past barrels of over-ripe, bruised apples that have been collected from the ground, while the fig seems to give them an almost boozy quality, kind of how i imagine apple cider to smell if heated in a pan on the stove.
Let’s not forget the unbelievable potency of this- it hits you in the face hard! One small spray on the back of my hand is all it took to fill the room with the smell, i don’t think i have anything else that strong in my collection- not even Poison!
I adore it, i have nothing like it and have never smelt anything like it- it truly is one of a kind!
So far, my absolute favourite of the Byredo line.

Aptly named.
A walk through the produce aisle in sexy shoes that only come in European sizes.
Byredo’s Pulp is lush fruit rind you want to press your thumb into to check for ripeness. Tart currants spill onto a heap of figs, then there’s a nuttiness, a bite of candy bar like a bawdy pick-up line, funny rather than insulting.
Drunk apples sit on the skin for several hours, waiting for elegant lipstick bites, then they fade to a woody stem.
I bought the biggest bottle I could legally take on the airplane.

The opening is really amazing: the figs, the bergamote, the rotten apple! Almost a vision of a still life picture from a great paint master. But it does not last, and all that olfactory symphony will soon become an artificial-strawberry-jelly-powder-skin-scent.
Юльчик – :
From the first batch of Byredo’s creationsI can see today that one that deserves the enthusiasm it receives is Pulp. This is one of the few cases where the brand is coherent and sincere in its concept, integrating perfectly with the proposed perfume. Pulp is in fact a compilation of exotic influences and an olfactory design that captures the idea of a ripe fruit without necessarily capturing a single specific form of fruit. Making this viable is certainly a big challenge for more than one reason.
The first big challenge of creating a niche or fruity exclusive perfume is precisely to offer an experience that convinces you. Fruity aromas are simple to understand and offer a joyful experience, which leads to a constant use in products such as shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, moisturizer for hands etc. They work well in this application because of the second challenge of creating a fruity perfume: performance. The molecules that say the aroma of fruit in general are volatile and try to extend them for a lasting experience distorts the smell and makes the perfume unpleasant. Pulp is a design prowess in that it does not sound like the aroma of a shampoo and by retaining that experience on the skin.
Much of Pulp’s success is the wisdom of capturing the shape of a fruit, allowing a sticking of nuances that create the synaesthesia of their aromas without being forced to focus a specific one. To do this, as the brand itself says it resorts to a compilation of fruity exotic influences such as the use of figs in philosykos and premier figuer and the scent of blackberry in Angel Innocent. Pulp balances the green, minty and lactonic aroma of figs with fresh nuances of ripe apple and the intriguing fruity acidic aroma of cassis / currant. In the background, a light floral suggestion creates the body to maintain the fruit sensation, suggesting peaches from the point of view of the flowers and fitting a frangipani that seems to be shaped here to give nuances of honey and to confer a sweetness expected by the concept of the succulent fruit. There is still something that somehow creates a tea texture and makes me think of some fruity Twinnings of London infusion.
As the idea is to capture the concept of fruit, the use of the base here is not highlighted, so there are certainly musks and mineral materials playing the role of cedar to ensure performance to help the idea of the fruit extending as far as possible on the skin, which works very well, especially on a cold day, where the succulent nuances do not distort and create a rich experience. A product that makes sense from every angle.

This is fascinating and intoxicating. Very strong opening but after 30 min it settles down to a fantastic warm and long lasting scent.
Fig, apples, peach, black currant. But i also get a faint scent of mango.
Now to my nose all those fruits are very ripe, almost over riped and someone made a smoothie out of them all together.
But the base note to me is vetiver and cedar. It somehow reminds me of a more colorful and loud cousin to Bal d’Afrique. I like it a lot.
Pulp is loud and different.. It takes a strong personality to pull this off, nothing for the she shy ones that only want to smell “clean and fresh”.
I have never smelled a perfume like this before. Trully unique and I love it.
Try before you consider to purchase. Preferably 3-4 times directly on the skin.

Want to smell like cheap bubblegum air freshner? Me neither.
renya – :
pulp. yep I get that. I think the name is perfect. it smells like the pulp of a bunch of fruit left out and slightly decaying. It is very fruity. To me I honestly do not know where one would wear this fragrance. Maybe what I imagine a hippie house to smell like. Like one lives with nature hippie. This is what the house smells like. It is not a bad smell at all, I actually quite like it, although it just does not smell like a fragrance one would wear.
Maybe like a holiday scent. Like Thanksgiving? Or a summer BBQ outside fragrance. Or maybe something you would wear by the pool while drinking fruity cocktails.
You know I do think if you had a few too many drinks this would be the perfect perfume.
Anenceheda – :
This is all about fig.. beautiful and quite natural. I was sceptical because of tiare flower which can be very challenging and feminine. But not in Pulp fortunately.
It could be a Hermes Jardin scent on steroids. This is not the typical light & fresh Hermes Jardin scent.
Performance is excellent for a warm weather scent. I think it would feel better in spring but it is perfectly okay in summer.
I get strong fig, intrnsive red apple and intensive & safe black currant which feels strong mainly at the opening. These are the dominant notes. I get no praline. The rest notes arr mild.
It is a long lasting scent with above the average sillage and longevity.
I’ll try it again and probably I’ll buy it
telegnikov – :
Outstanding! This is what perfumery should be about, strong, complex, long-lasting and high quality scents. Note pyramid is very accurate.

“Go big or go home”

GoDya – :
Wonderful, interesting, unique. Apples – real apples, fresh, slightly sweet, complete with the skins and the stem and the tree. Analogous to Un Jardin en Méditerranée except using apples as the focus instead of figs. Bright, summery, fun – but could be worn in any season. The drydown with cedar and cardamom gives this a warm apple pie vibe. Very pleasant and intriguing scent. Full bottle worthy.

Holy fruits, Batman!
Someone who likes fruits at Byredo clearly had a “go-big-or-go-home-moment”…
Pulp has sillage in spades. And by God, Buddha, Shiva, Allah and The Spaghetti Monster does it last. Forever.
Very fruity and tart, mouth-wateringly so, in fact! I can’t for the life of me pin down which fruits have been, haha, juiced. All I perceive is an edible potpurri of ripe-tart-berries-sweet-LOUD.
Pulp is decidedly linear. There is the occasional, nose hair tickling hint of something chemical and fake, but some of us like that, you know? The stellar performance and slight floral quality stops it from going complete air freshener.
For those searching for that Guerlain “class”, Pulp is probably not the answer. It doesn’t feel expensive. I’s probably not appropriate for job interviews, unless you’re aiming to work in a candy store. Pulp isn’t afraid to be big and brash and fun.
A word of caution, though: On my skin Pulp becomes a sour mess. On my friends skin and paper sample strips it becomes all of the above. Try a sample before you buy!
DIMA KOSONOGOV – :
Overripe, almost rotting fruit. It’s unique and interesting, but I can’t see myself ever wearing it. Performance is very good though with strong projection and longevity.
naispavepadia – :
NEVER,EVER BLIND BUY A FULL BOTTLE OF ANY NICHE COLOGNE,buy a 3,5 or 10ml SAMPLE,this way if you dont like it you wont be that disappointed and you’ll save a ton of money,to me its just plain ol COMMON SENSE…
Hem – :
I was very disappointed by this one, especially because I blind bought based on reviews. To me it smells like a cheap sickly fruity air refresher with a strong scent of grapefruit. I can see why some people may like it but its a big NO for me. I ended up giving it to my mom I tried to like it but I just couldn’t. My advice is to NEVER blind buy this one, try it first or order a sample online but don’t throw your coins away until you try it. Plus I think Byredo has a way better range of fragrances that are worth checking out like La Tulipe, Blanche, Accord Oud etc.
MymnPentAneve – :
All I get is a very linear high end hair spray fragrance. It does last a very long time on clothes; but it’s much too close to whatever brand of hairspray I used when I straightened my hair. I really love Black Saffron and was looking forward to my sample of this. Many sad. Although I’m very glad I didn’t blind buy a bottle.
сергей ша – :
Smells like overripe fruits but it’s so interesting and complex.
siza09 – :
It is a wonderful, unique fragrance. I love it. It is different from the other fragrances. Sweet, milky, fruity. Interesting and beautiful in the same time.
olha – :
Unique amongst the scents I own, Pulp is a tart fruit scent.
For the most part I avoid edible scents. Citrus doesn’t work on me and other fruits tend to be far too sugary. This, however, is fresh, succulent, and tart tart tart. Perfect name for a delicious perfume. Longevity is excellent in winter.
UnigninueMync – :
To some, it is love or hate perfume. I personally think, haters should give it a second or third chance.
For me it was love at first sniff. Perfect for summers and way different than contemporary citrusy or aquatic summer scents in a good way…
Black_Frost – :
Too many fruity notes condensed without space to breath or articulate their own personality;too acidic,too sweet cloying,too lineal,smells like a air freshener. I notice some shopping malls uses Pulp in their ventilation system.More like an aroma-chemical than a perfume.
moa – :
I absolutely LOVE Pulp. If you aren’t careful, like another reviewer said, it will wear YOU, as opposed to you wearing IT. Juicy, rich, complex, memorable. I MUST have a bottle…I’m currently hoarding a sample and trying to wait until the Spring to buy.

I got myself a decant, sprayed it and I just can’t wear it.
So strong and not in a good way, it’s a scent I just cant get used to. Reminds me of old fruit stewed, I started invisioning a fruit processing plant in the midst of a E. coli out break. lol…. Sorry…..
I desperately wanted to love it, the drydown was almost bearable verging on nice but I couldn’t get past that stewy smell, I gave it a fair shot but after many hours I attempted to wash it off but it hung around like doggydo.
Look, don’t get me wrong, I can understand why someone could like this, it’s obvious quality but a definite try before you buy type scent and a big No for me unfortunately.

Cannabis flower. Like if you’ve ever smelled a cannabis plant, the peppery and musky scent of the weed.
Disa801 – :
What an interesting thing body chemistry is. While most get the smell of fruits, and in some cases, rotten fruit. On me this is a straight up evergreen perfume on me. The scent of walking in the forest after the rain, pine trees and cedar making a statement. I do get some jammy fruit after it calms down, but it is a beautiful sensation on me.
I have had other people sample my bottle and they smell the fruits, mostly plum and peach, no forest smell. My husband also gets the forest scent on me, and he loves it.
What a chameleon this one is on everyone who tried it. Much love for this one.
dodegoajord – :
Fruity and sharp opening. Dries down to a nice woody and overripe fruit smell. Very unique for the summer and spring. Great performance as well. For my taste, the only Byredo worth owning for men.
A777K – :
It seems like I perceive Pulp quite differently from other people. I have tried it first about 2 years ago and didn’t like it. Now I found my sample again and gave it another try. With the same result.
To me, this is very fresh with some woody, tart and sour notes. I can smell fig, bergamot and a general fruitiness. Contrary to most other reviewers, to me the fruit doesn’t smell realistic, very sweet or ripe, much less overripe or rotten. It smells artificial fresh, somewhere between a shower gel and a laundry detergent.
I don’t get much else and the scent dries down fairly linear.
A hard pass from me, neither pleasant nor unique, especially not for that price.
syq054Negeltzex – :
I love Byredo but hesitated to get this one. People around me wearing Pulp, seemed to me somehow to be worn by it. Pulp is very loud, it has a huge personality and to me, doesn’t really behave like a normal perfume – it seems more like an object, a person of its own, a mood, an ambience, something “happening” nearby. Like the smell of something actually there, just as you can smell freshly cut grass, or the smoke from a BBQ going on.
But 50$ for 50 ml, well, I couldn’t help myself. Not big on fruit scents, I do enjoy fig alot, although a fantasy note.
It starts for me being almost knocked out by a gigantic red apple. Then, the merge of fruit evokes in my mind, a suede vibe without the actual leather, so I am very curious what happens if I layer this with a simple straight forward leather scent. And I also get a somewhat smoky vibe although it’s not really there. Tart but no B.O. Steaming, somehow.
Pulp is very happy, bright and lively and when it settles after about 30 minutes, a true joy to wear, I can see myself getting addicted to this stuff, which means I will totally over apply and annoy people around me. Somehow I don’t care. Much.
Try before buy. Very very strong personality on this one, sexy for it’s confidence and totally original and unusual expression. Casual, not formal. Outdoorsy, summer and autumn. Nothing rotten, rather mature, fully developed. No hesitation here, this thing, whatever it is, knows what it wants – even if I hardly understand it 😉
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Edit: Layers gorgeously into an autumn scent with Gucci Guilty Absolute! Also tried YSL Sleek Suede, a really superb scent in its own right but too complex and smokey for Pulp & not leathery or even suede enough IMHO. Will try TF Tuscan Leather as well. Anyone else tried layering Pulp?

Pulp is an ecstatically great summer scent, even now in the depths of the New Zealand winter. From the bright opening through to the soft and sweet dry down, Pulp is dominated by a complex, deliciously juicy fruit accord. Fig is the most prominent note; here, it is rendered atypically lush and fruity, rather than its more common presentation as dry and austere. A big splash of bergamot, with hints of berry and apple, add to Pulp’s overall juiciness. I agree with those who call this a ripe scent; to my nose, it hasn’t yet turned to overripe – rather, it’s luscious, mouthwatering and eminently drinkable. Performance is excellent, with good longevity and sillage, particularly when heated by the skin.
Pulp has perfumer Jerome Epinette’s signature all over it. I’d rank it squarely among his better compositions, and one of the best in the Byredo line. Its exquisite fruit accord is indeed similar in effect to the blackcurrant, citrus and marigold accord of Epinette’s masterful Bal D’Afrqiue; ultimately, I find the latter scent more rounded due to its grassy, earthy vetiver base. Those who like Bal D’Afrique’s top notes but struggle with vetiver should definitely check out Pulp.
I’ll also add my partner’s review for balance; she said, “It smells like walking into a Body Shop.” Make of that what you will.
entedge – :
This is a Top 10 Summer scent for me. It’s a fun scents that is right in the middle of unisex. If you thought Creed’s Virgin Island Water is the perfect unisex Summer scent then think again. This is fruity,sweet and floral and balanced perfectly. The biggest drawback is the black currant note which at times can give off a sour vibe. Even with that it’s still wonderful and performs better than most Summer scents.
okutan – :
Tiare-Apple-Fig at their brightest, most euphoric! Byredo’s Pulp is, without a doubt, the happiest fragrance ever made. It’s ‘unicorns-sh*tting-golden-eggs-on-rainbows’ level of awesome. I rarely use the word ‘scintillating’ to describe a perfume, but it truly is Cloud 9. Although it’s low-ranking on the user pyramid, Tiare is a strong player on my skin. It’s gardenia on steroids.
If a truck full of Monoi oil hits a fruit stand, you will get Pulp. A generous Fragrantician sent a 1/4 bottle decant in a swap. It was the greatest day of my life.
Uzumaki Naruto – :
Pulp is a fragrance that starts fresh and very fruity, immediately installs a sweet acidic strawberry aroma similar to the chewing gum of this flavor to which are added floral notes and the distinguishing aroma of a rich and ripe fig.
All this represents a very acidic fruit, fruit that we have previously peeled, chopped and prepared, is almost edible, is very real.
It has disoriented me a little that during the drying I get a slight dirty note, in the background, pulling on when the fruit is over-ripened, as when the fruit begins to rot, it does not become unpleasant and it seems to be Placed on purpose. I do not know, but it turns out to be quite extravagant and unusual.
The duration is good, the stele also and the structure is of monolithic conception.
The fragrance does not leave indifferent, and as an olfactory experience has pass, but all this acidity is not made for me.
Rating: 5
lexmik – :
Byredo Pulp is one of the most hyped fragrances of the line, perhaps it’s most-discussed warm weather fragrance, along with, of course, Bal d’Afrique.
Said to represent the smell of fresh fruit, my own sampling of it today lends credence to its relatively strong reputation. It does smell like fresh fruit, a nod to both the sweetness and tartness that come from the real thing.
That its scent is comprised of several fruits–bergamot, blackcurrant, apple, fig–makes Pulp difficult to pin down, or to limit to being a hyper-sweet, -sour, or -citrus fragrance. Because it is an amalgam of several varying fruits, it’s effective at representing many more fruits, perhaps all fruits.
Certainly as pointed out by at least one critic I’ve heard, Pulp’s energy diminishes predictably into its dry down, where it becomes a bit less interesting and less bright, at least to me. Still, the blend is excellent in the dry down, when it takes on woody and musky undertones.
Its performance is decent for a warm weather EDP, probably above average in projection and longevity, but Byredo pricing is right in the area of “if it doesn’t add something unique to your collection, don’t bother” at the standard pricing of $150 for 50ml, $230 for 100ml. However, it can be argued more easily for Pulp than for most fruity niche offerings that this does achieve something more unique, more special, and at the same time relatively unisex and easy to wear, though it shines most in the summer. One I’ll need to explore further but may eventually add to my collection, maybe next summer.

This is a fragrance that conjures up memories deep in my subconscious that I can’t quite put my finger on, so in that regard I am fascinated by it but It is not a fragrance that I would wear.
Ultra sweet and fruity like everyone says. Ill just stick to my small sample and smell it on paper every once in a while to feel those mysterious, forgotten memories.
loadpays – :
Pulp is a fascinating perfume. It’s the most authentic simulation of ripe fruit that I’ve ever encountered. I think it smell slightly overripe, but still good to eat. The smell is so authentic I can almost taste it. Unfortunately it’s not something I want to smell like, even if I like the smell, but congratulation to the perfumer for making this.
kox22 – :
Pulp sure pulls off a great balancing act.
As a lot of comments already mentioned it, it is all about very ripe fruit, bordering on starting to spoil, but not quite there yet. Perhaps this smells “fresher” on some people? It certainly smelled quite sweet and acrid on myself.
I enjoy the first 20 minutes of wearing it, but then the scent just outstays its welcome and becomes too overwhelming. The dry down is quite pleasant though. Just make sure you use the tiiiniest amount!
That being said, I salute Byredo for the staying power of some of theirs creations and I will keep checking out their line!

vacation in a bottle, everytime i smell this my mind goes to some resort, i imagine palms and so on. The smell of fig is prominent here, its fresh and realistic
Beliy911 – :
I’m wearing this right now and I’m just sitting on the couch, breathing, getting it in one breath at a time. It almost feels like doing drugs. The best fleshy juicy drug you can put in your nostrils.
Can someone get stoned from this?
P.s. apparently since last year there was a reformulation and now the scent is “colder” (fresh floral) than “warmer” (plum-heavy). I find the praline note turning a bit too sweet on my skin during the dry down, which dulls the perfume, but on fabrics the scent stays fresh, vibrant, and lasts forever.

Casual, fun scent, not for me, unless I was going to a fancy dress party dressed as a can of Vimto.
Thinking it may be more my thing if it had some ginger or anise in it, I don’t know.

As for Byredo fragrances , this is my favorite so far ( at least at the time of this review . ) So what do I get from this fragrance ? Have you ever had a screwdriver ? Yes, this is a screwdriver(the classic vodka and oj cocktail ) but with a twist . This may sound awful , but it is a quite delicious combo of peach orange juice with absolut peppar, being sipped out in the sun .
I find it a deliciously unique perfume . Gypsy Water has nothing on this .

Byredo Pulp – my doze of refreshment in the hot summer days. Fig and black currant stands out the most when the temperature outside hits 100°F. Beautiful, complex, rich, totally unisex, totally unique
mirzo – :
This is an Amazing sweet gourmand. It’s not sugary sweet it is juicy fig and ripened citrus and grapes and slightly melon sweet. I tried this on once over a year ago, I liked it but wasn’t in love with it and I had other scents on my priorities list. I finally got a 10ml decant and received it today. First spritz and it’s better than I remembered. It’s not the dry peppery sweet stuff that was popularized by VR flower bomb. There’s barely any florals in here, and it is unabashedly sweet. Like I am squeezing the overripened fruits from a delaye harvest, and all of them fall apart in my hands leaving them sticky and lickably delicious.

It is a shame that this fragrance is described with the word “rotten”, as it gives it a rumor of being unpleasant.
As a matter of fact, the fragrance is not unpleasant at all, but it is definitely not for individuals who dislike sweet citrus scents.
Pulp smells like the flesh of sweet, ripe citrus fruits being squeezed into a sunny beverage. Picture sniffing a fruit bowl filled with ripe citrus fruits very closely – and take that scent and magnify it by 10. This is the scent of a sweet citrus mix, but very rich rather than crisp.
I thought i would hate this fragrance, since it so often is described as somewhat overwhelming, but i do really love it. Citrus in perfume is often made to be aquatic, fresh and crisp – but Pulp is more of a warm, comforting juicy sweetness that i have never before stumbled upon as a fragrance. A truly original scent for open minded citrus lovers.

I was hoping for something fresh and zesty, joyful and uplifting and perfect for the summer, but all I get is a rancid, fermented fruit salad.

dark stalker 009 – :
Bitter, soured citrus. Not feminine and not for the faint of heart.
Emre – :
Ok,now I can see why so many people called it odd,it IS really odd and definitely a love/hate one…I’m one of the haters but I’m glad I have a sample of it,trying such unique and wierd fragrances is really intresting
Initial blast is the most awful part for me,a blast of of fruit notes,more than mentioned in the list and some cardamom,I get plums,apple,a citrus note,fig,melon,peach,pine apple?fruits are natural,sweet,overripe,almost rotten and very near to turn to alcohol(but not turned yet),it’s more tolerable as it settles down,I can’t detect much florals here,just a faint tiara that has a big role in balancing overripe fruits,so it’s middle is all about fig and some tiara and has a bitter undertone.it’s intresting this scent is sweet,bitter and sour(even spicy in opening) the same time
Drydown is not that bad,to be honest it’s even kind of pleasant,it’s not bitter anymore,and not that loud,fruits with their sour&sweet tastes are very blended and faint and are not detectable as seprate notes,exept fig….peach blossom is playing as a mellow peach note,not an overripe one,so the most dominant fruit note in drydown is a nice peach and some fig.praline is also there to balance sourness.I don’t dislike this combination of fig,peach,cedar but I can’t like it either
I don’t think this almost rotten fruit smell that I get from Byredo pulp is a matter of skin chemistry,I tried it on paper,also on lots of my friend’s skin and it was the same.I think they made it this way to give an exotic,natural and unique vibe to scent
It’s one of rare fruity scents that is definitely mature,longlasting with great sillage..it’s one of those scents that may lead to lots of comments from others(both good and bad)I figured out that drydown is really pleasant from distant,even opening and heart is not like rotten fruit from distant,it’s more like a natural,sugary almost delicious fruit salad so others which are not too close can feel it differently,nicer
It’s a spring/summer fragrance but I prefer it in breezy summer days not too hot ones,too much heat increases feeling of fruits turning to alcohol even from distance and it’s sharper in heat
Highly recommend to fruit lovers,you may hate it or you may find love of your life,it’s worth trying
❤❤

At first I didn’t like this one it smelled a bit off in an organic kind of way, but testing it the second time I really like it. Becoming a love for me. It is a bit like real fruit, sweet but not overbearing with a strong earthy “real” pulpy smell of a mix of exotic fruits. Definitely natural no bad notes which is great.

Figs falling apart at the touch, something heady and heavy as soon as you start to peel an orange, and plum jam dolloped across a bowlful of berries, sitting out for an hour at room temperature.
To me it’s so juicy, thick, and unctuous. It’s sweet but exotic, and very mature to my taste. Pulp makes a big statement, which is rare for such fruit-forward fragrances, but the statement is very polarizing as you can see. My husband, for example, doesn’t much care for this one for reasons he can’t put his finger on – I love it for reasons I can’t put my finger on. Does it get many compliments when I wear it out? Not spoken, really, but I can tell it gets people curious. Whether they’re happy or not is another thing entirely. Definitely test it on your skin before you commit to a bottle, this one is a bit of an odd bird!
Longevity is about 6 – 8 hours on my skin. The throw is actually quite moderate for me, but once you do get close enough to smell it, it’s VERY bold.
Du4ka – :
Great one 10/10
YURIUSua – :
Hella odd, by today’s market, to be sure.
Strangely, this seems to be exactly what makes it hella interesting as well.
Sometimes fragrances, especially in the niche market, appear to try too hard to be different; off the beaten path. While I appreciate them as something I want to experience, to smell… I have to balance it with how I want to actually SMELL!
Pulp doesn’t make that mistake.
It is wearable. Not just wearable, desirable. It smells, deliciously of authentic PULP! How’d they do that with fig, apple and black currant?? It’s very pleasing both to my nose and on my skin. The florals don’t present to me, but that’s ok. I wore my sample and received a hug as a reward with a “mmm, woman you smell good” indictment. Now I know the way to a man’s heart is frequently claimed to be through his stomach, but I didn’t know pulp would smooth the way 🙂
Longevity, projection are average. Originality on the other hand, is unparalleled.
Overripe fruit? Sure, why not?.
Avant garde? Yes! At least in my fragrant world.
Polarizing? Heehe, ‘fraid so.
Freakish talented perfumer? THAT goes without saying.
Worth a try? Abso-oddly-lutey! You’ll kick yourself if you don’t go out of your way to at least sample it.
Make the effort!
