Which Should You Buy?
Byredo Pulp is a wildly divisive fragrance, a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect an unapologetically bold, jammy fruit explosion that some find intoxicatingly unique, while others recoil from its 'overripe' or 'rotten' quality. It's a true masterpiece for those who get it, a scrubber for those who don't.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Byredo - Pulp - a fruity fragrance led by Bergamot, Blackcurrant, with citrus depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Pulp's potent sillage and long-lasting, intensely fruity and sweet profile make it less suitable for formal or office settings where subtlety is preferred. It truly shines in casual and date scenarios, especially in warmer weather, where its bold character can make a confident statement without overwhelming.
Seasons
Best in spring and summer - the fruity, citrus profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
Occasions
Keep it for casual and daily - the fruity accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
