    What do reviewers say about Pulp and Prolégomènes?

    This is an everything-at-once fragrance. Some find it overwhelming. Others find it exactly the kind of bold, unapologetic scent that becomes a signature.Pulp
    Fig in perfumery usually goes one of two ways: green and leafy, or syrupy and dessert-like. Prolégomènes finds a third path, fig milk, which is exactly what it sounds like.Prolégomènes
