Sunday best: Pulp

Yesterday, I hit the beauty counters at Holts pretty hard - Chanel, YSL and Byredo. Damage was done! I wear Rose Noir (signature scent-style), but there are so many fragrances from Byredo's range that I'm drawn to in different ways. Pulp is one I'd never wear, but when I smell it, it's like a tropical juice explosion in my mouth.


So, when today's Sunday best started looking so fruity, I thought for certain a little bit of Pulp, in body lotion form, should be permitted.

My weekend has had such a lovely cast over it, not least because I have tomorrow and Tuesday off work too. It takes all the pressure off today for the usual chores and, since I did more than enough spending yesterday, it'll just be me and my book for most of today, which is just the kind of Sunday I like.

And after a shocking heatwave last week, the temperature has come right down and it's even a bit overcast as I write. All of this has me in a gentler and unhurried mood, without the stupefaction that comes with heavier heat. There's something about a heatwave that narrows your vision right down to the day you're in. With the heat lifted, everything seems immediately more open concept and I'll enjoy feeling my way around that expanded space today.

Happy Sunday!

  1. I shall have to take the long trek into the city (twenty five minutes, but it feels a world away) to smell Byredo perfumes! I have been faithful to l'Ombre dans l'Eau for years, but sleeping with a heavenly pot of lilies the last few nights has made me think about scents again.
    I am already looking forward to the quickening of autumn, stupefying heat saps everything from a day besides endurance - yet some people come alive like lizards in the sun. There is more than one human race.

    1. It's true. Some people really thrive in the heat. I've improved since I first moved here, but I'm still not a natural at it.

      I usually wear a signature scent for years too and changed mine very recently after much searching. I feel like I've moved into a new phase so need a new scent to mark that passage!

  2. I love those sandals! I'll have to go smell this Pulp for myself - I love tropical scents. Sounds like you're set to have a nice Sunday. I've got to work for a few hours (what I should be doing now) but then I'm set for a relaxing evening of dinner at our friend's home. Have a good week!

  3. Enjoy your Sunday! Mmmm. Pulp does make you want to knock yourself out on tropical fruit, doesn't it? Passionfruit!

  4. I wonder why Pulp is a scent you'd never wear... Sounds absolutely lovely, and very summer-appropriate!

    1. Just isn't "me." I have a very personal connection with fragrance and think of it as an extension of self... there are many I like the smell of but don't feel are a fit for my style and personality. I wear florals with a darker undertone. I'm not really fruity.

    2. Ahh, I understand. I guess I'm not really fruity either. But you're right -- you can definitely appreciate a delicious scent even if it's a better match for someone else.
