Byredo Pulp is a highly polarizing fragrance that delivers on uniqueness with its fermented, overripe fruit profile balanced by bitter stone fruit and green notes. While admirers praise its sophisticated complexity and excellent performance, detractors find it off-putting and describe it as smelling like rotting or spoiled fruit. Most agree it's a bold, intense fragrance that absolutely requires sampling before purchase.
