I'm testing this stuff right at the moment. My opinion could change by tomorrow.
I'm in the middle of testing quite a few of the Byredo line, Pulp definitely stands out in terms of sillage. The other scents to test just could not compete. This leads me to think that it is very difficult to be ambivalent to this fragrance.
I'm not sure about fig, I find it a very difficult note, in that I cannot decide if I like of hate it. The opening of Pulp is bombastic and demands of the attention. A combination of Bergamot and the the Fig assaulting the senses. It was a close call whether I washed the stuff off, but I persevered. Currently I'm experiencing something sweet and green, not unpleasant.
