Latest Reviews of Pulp

Must try, if you're looking for fruit. Back then, it really opened up my eyes to what fragrances could be, if I looked beyond the basic brands available everywhere, so it is special for me that way too.

Some people get a rotting fruit smell from this fragrance. I wouldn't go that far, but there's definitely an overripe aspect to it. Performance is solid, so I have no complaints. This is surprisingly potent and strong for a fruity fragrance, so go gentle on the trigger. It's a unique fragrance, and I give it some extra points for that. If you're a fan of unisex or feminine-oriented fragrances, this is a must-try. However, it's definitely not a blind buy, especially considering the high Byredo prices.
I found Paula's Ibiza by Loewe a muted version of Pulp without the tartness. Give that a try if you find Pulp a bit too strong.

On opening vague blackcurrant I say vague as it quickly is overpowered by the Apple heart note this Apple is similar to what you'd find in Shampoos and other soap products, shortly after the Overripe fig comes into play the mix of apple and fig, verges on smelling like acetone(used in nail polish remover ).
Over time the apple slowly fades to just the fig and the praline(it's just patchouli lol) becomes noticeable adding a slight chocolatey twist over a woody though a tad scratchy base.
The fragrance is A solid ok at best fragrance but the best amongst Byredos catalogue of mediocre smelly water.
You've gotten out of the shower after using your favourite Apple scented shampoo, as you walk out you notice that the figs in the wooden bowl on the table are on the verge of rotting, you decide to do nothing about it.



Unfortunately, it's just not really wearable to me. Although I love fragrances as art, I can't wear them. I like to wear my fragrances as well as collect them, and I feel that owning a bottle of Pulp would just be a waste of money. My suggestion is to get a sample of this somewhere, especially if you like artistic fragrances. This is one of the few more artsy ones that revolves mostly around fruity notes, with a little wood in the dry down. I do believe a lot of effort was put into Pulp, and although I think the price should be much cheaper for what you're getting, you're really paying for the artistry here.
Update: the drydown, although intriguing, kind of smells like rotting fruit and woods, yet I am not disgusted by it.
