I've been waiting to try this for a long time now and having been disappointed by Byredo so far I was starting to think this one might be overrated. Well I finally got my nose on it and I can tell you Pulp is fantastic! The opening is very, very intense sweet, jammy and definitely fitting of the name pulp. Then as it dries down becomes less tart with berries and more of a watery fig and some of that exotic floral, Tiare flower which I think makes this fragrance. Beautiful and exotic Byredo have struck upon something really good here, I want a bottle.
On paper (figuratively) this is everything I usually hate in a perfume. Fruit, tiare, jarring notes, chocolate with fruit. The initial spray in store onto card gave me a HEEELL no reaction, but then it insinuated itself into my every thought for days on end. I got hold of a sample and wore it to go for a long walk in a huge park during summer, and it was incredíble. I used the sample up over the next couple of days. Now I have a full bottle, and after a couple of months I was hesitant, fearing I might hate it, but no, it's amazing. As everyone says, it's on the line between ripe and putrid, but that's exactly why it works. It's what saves it from being a teenage, frivolous cheapie. It's unlike anything else, and alongside M/Mink is the only thing worth bothering with from Byredo.
