Year: 2008
Notes: bergamot, blackcurrant, red apple, fig, cardamom, tiaré, peach flower, praline, cedar
During the first 15-20 minutes, Pulp is superb – a succulent, rich and juicy fruit cocktail that smells natural and fresh. The sweetness is just right, and both the bergamot and blackcurrant are full-bodied, dense and vivid. And although it smells unquestionably feminine, it can still be enjoyed by any open-minded man.
With such a wonderful opening, one anticipated the quality to be maintained. Sadly, this doesn't happen...
Now, maybe the opening is merely a deceptive ploy, but the drydown smells like a composite of rotting passion fruit and some synthetic-smelling pot-pourri (possibly due to a clash between the peach flower and praline). But its development never gets back on track and simply stagnates from that point onwards.
One has to admit that it's the first time one has been seduced by a fragrance, only to be later repelled by it. It's also quite long-lasting with more than adequate diffusion.
An extra star awarded solely for the opening.
