Best Pulp by Byredo Alternatives & Similar Perfumes

The Les Éléments collection

Steep yourself in the rich, sweet, and gentle ambiance of a summer’s evening, caressed by the dappled Mediterranean light shifting in shadows and sunbeams through the branches. Figue is a private paradise for the senses, transporting you to a garden of a thousand colors.

A sparkling Mediterranean citrus is wrapped in the broad leaves of the fig tree. The green fig accord captures the fruit’s mellow, velvety smoothness before unfurling across a woody, musky base note, echoing the silky sap, the nectar of a milky fig.

When the plump, sensual fruit joins with the fig leaf, the fragrance unfolds with profound intensity.

A juicy fruity fragrance with a magnolia heart and lots of bergamot sparkle.

Bon Parfumeur open olfactive dimensions and invite you to add your own story. Try 201 if you like easy going exotic florals and a hint of fruity theme.

Perfumer: Phillipe Romano

Sileno or Silenus in Greek  (or faun in Roman) mythology would be a creature of the wild forest – part man part beast. Silenus would accompany and entertain Dionysus in his god’s routines and parties.

The perfume is a sensual but fresh ylang-ylang with a generous crisp spices layer. 

Madagasgar’s threatened forests are home to some of the most intoxicating plants in the world. Including vanilla. Which smells loads better than a lemur.

But we’re not talking about ice cream or a shot of vanilla goo in a skinny latte. No, this is naked vanilla packed with luxurious orchid warmth. Blended with the best Madagascar has to offer including ylang oil, vetiver,violet, musk, jasmine and cloves.

Think of this it as an ecosystem in a bottle; a hug from mother earth. You get the picture.

Rest in the blissful shade of an orchard in the humming city of Pompeii: the year is 195 BC. Inhale the sweet aroma of ripe figs and the local pomegranate leaves heated by the sun; these entine spicy incense being smoked in the nearby temple. So anciently refreshing!

This is a beautifully rounded fig on the mellow end of the spectrum. Bright bergamot, cardamom and galbanum open the fragrance with confidence, leading into a smooth fig accord layered with iris, cypress and soft floral nuances. The earthy, woody base glows with subtle musk.

A milky green fig oozing sweet musk.

PERFUMER
FLORIAN GALLO

The sun stands still. The air shimmers. Time dissolves. You are alone — but not lonely. Skin. Silence. Isleta is the echo of an island within you — a moment without direction, carried by light and warmth. A daydream in summer. Hold onto nothing. Just be.

Isleta is an extraordinary fragrance that shines with the generosity of summer. This bright green floral weaves a delicate dance between fresh grass and sultry jasmine sambac, savory fig and aromatic white tea.

Luminous minimalism: a combination of sweet scent of ripe figs and sycamore wood. The sweet aspect is further highlighted by white peach and the woody by tuberose and musks. The fragrance title is a reference to the Villa Kérylos at Côte d’Azur. It stands on a cliff surrounded by the sea on one side and a fragrant garden on the other.

The Sniff on PG16: "Green, minimalist, and enlivening, PG16 evokes a Greek cliffside garden with fuzzy fruit adorning gnarly old trees."

Beso Pasion is like a sweet summer breeze caressing a Mediterranean island. A breeze infused with sea salt, the delicious aroma of fig trees, and fragrant grass cured by the hot sun.
