About two years late to the party, but just wanted to say that “I’m fresh out of raw opium” nearly made me spit cocoa all over my keyboard. Thanks for the guffaw, Robin!

I think they’re talking about Beckham Signature for Her.

Hey, that’s really great customer service, how nice! I still have not tried Bal d’Afrique myself.

The very nice people at Byredo sent me three free samples all the way from Sweden! I had emailed awhile back asking about sampling their fragrances and received a response saying they were out but they’d let me know when they had more samples. I assumed that would be the last I’d hear of it but I was wrong. A few weeks later a Byredo rep emailed me asking what I would like to try. I asked for Pulp, Bal d’Afrique and Rose Noir and here they are! And for no charge – how unusual and how nice!
The only one I’ve tried so far is Pulp. Wow you guys weren’t joking, it’s intense! I also really agree with your description of Pulp as a fun fragrance. It seems like something that was created to put a smile on the wearer’s face. So unlike most fragrances which, if the ad copy is to be believed, aim to put a smile on the face of everyone else.
I would be interested in a decant of this but doubt I would ever use a full bottle as you don’t need much.

you people that are so overly critical and making a silly mockery…you know absolutely nothing. for one thing if this were just lame-ass joke,why would it take 7 years to thoughtfully create? second,the designers-ZOWIE BROACH & BRIAN KIRBY,btw-never EVER intended it to be a scent that was going to be marketed to macy's customers…come on! they were trying to create something innovative and poetic….completely against the grain of commerce driven perfumes(which is actually a principle they don't just preach…..they practice to a T)and homogenisation.

and if you're in shadows about them as designers,talents how about doing a bit of homework before coming to a message board before making half-assed ignorant,disgusting comments about their integrity as creators.

they have two web sites,you know. http://www.platform13.com + http://www.boudiccawod.com

the fact is some will learn why boudicca became their label's namesake.

Oh my god, I could totally see myself wearing the paint everyday and only switching over to the scent for the higher concentration. A ritualistic arming myself for the “battles” I will face that day. (I could have been an Amazon in a past life.)

“spicy and resinous” and “softly spiced leathery woods” sound gorgeous.

The scent seems fitting of Boudicca. The scent of the woods where the Celts love to fight with guerrila tactics, their leather armor, musky skin hot from battle. Paint's a perfect picture.
