SWEET PULP by Astrophil & Stella is a unisex extrait that moves confidently between lush fruitiness and a warmer, more textured sensuality in the drydown. Released in 2023 and composed by Miguel Matos, it belongs to the Floral Gourmand family, with a profile that feels radiant, velvety, and deliciously nuanced.
The opening arrives in a burst of juicy color and movement. Pear and peach bring a ripe, fleshy sweetness with a soft, plush feel, while blood orange adds a vivid citrus accent that feels bright and saturated. Bergamot and petitgrain sharpen the composition with a greener, fresher edge, giving the introduction lift and definition. The effect is both generous and refined, playful in tone yet carefully shaped.
At the heart, fig unfolds with its smooth, creamy-fruity character, creating a rich and enveloping transition toward rose. Rather than reading as overtly classical, the rose lends elegance, fluidity, and a floral pulse that balances the abundance of the opening. Together, fig and rose form a heart that feels rounded, tactile, and sensual, where floral and gourmand facets meet without excess.
The base brings depth and contrast. Patchouli and oakmoss introduce structure, shadow, and a polished earthy dimension. Vanilla, sandalwood, and sugar amplify the impression of creamy softness and enveloping sweetness, while ambergris broadens the composition with a more sensual, expansive undertone. This interplay gives the fragrance a richly layered finish, where ripe fruit, velvety florals, and ambered warmth coexist in elegant balance.
Presented in a 50 ml format, SWEET PULP offers a contemporary take on the floral gourmand style: expressive, sophisticated, and full of olfactory texture. A niche fragrance with a clear identity for those drawn to perfumes that bring together brightness, voluptuousness, and depth in one distinctive composition.
