I can't be without it :D
Well, I certainly don't have the most refined spice tester, and I usually find it very difficult to identify individual fragrance notes. But with this scent, there is clearly one note that emerges, reminiscent of preparing a pistachio ice cream mixture from lightly roasted pistachios, slowly but persistently spreading throughout the kitchen. Very appetizing, almost festive, I must say!

This note dissipates after a short time and makes way for a balsamic-woody, slightly sweet yet very fresh scent that develops over the next hour. While vetiver scents usually bother me after a while, everything here just harmonizes very well for my taste. This is probably also due to the labdanum and cashmeran in the base.

Points are deducted for longevity and intensity/sillage - at least my nose gets used to it very quickly, so I always feel like it doesn't last long, but the scarf that has come into contact with it still carries the scent for several days from a short distance - especially if one uses a relatively generous amount, which makes this perfume unfortunately run out quickly.

Nevertheless, I wouldn't say it's a bad price-performance ratio. I simply love this scent too much because it is very harmonious and works very well with "my chemistry." The fragrance has both a Mediterranean and a festive quality, making it quite wearable throughout the year, in my opinion. Not least because of this, it has practically become my signature scent, and I would always invest that not-so-small amount of money in it again.

Another take on Vetiver Tonka by Hermes. Change out the hazelnut for pistachio and reduce some sweetness, and you got this this

Pistachio dominates here. Sweet and spicy. Less green than the bottle and name suggest. Still lovely. More for cold days. Cozy good.

A salon-worthy, fresh vetiver with subtle sweetness that really pleases! For me, it's a tamed Fat Electrician (without the "cable smell").

The first scent that actually smells like pistachio to me, warm-spicy, creamy-sweet, but also fresh, with very light green streaks..

I like it. I guessed it had cardamom in it (it's not according to the list), which I usually don't like. But here, the sweet note works.

Completely different than expected: Almost gourmand-creamy and festive. Not bad, but not for Norleans. Vetiver for me only with a lot..

Started with a smell similar to Miswak, which I like (associating it with cleanliness & freshness)
Then transitioned to a pleasant vetiver scent, fresh and sweet.
