Sexy, Creamy, Pistachio Nuts

Creme de pistache wasn't everything I hoped for but it came pretty close.

The top notes are a delicious and amazing blast of pistachio nuts and cream. Sort of like pistachio ice cream. This incredible stage is short lived as the perfume dries down to a more gourmandy smelling version of angel. There is not patchouli in this scent but at times I swear that it's there. I get a very sexy feel of the smoothness of this fragrance, it is "grown up" in a way, and I love that it's pistachio note is so unusual.

I prefer the body butter to the perfume because the top notes are much stronger and more long lasting with a quieter "gourmandy angel" dry down on my skin. The fragrance is just scrumptious.

Nutty gourmand

Can this be love? Or just an infatuation?

Eau Gourmande Creme de Pistacho is in a way quite similar to TM Womanity. It has both the sweetness ans the saltiness of Womanity, but it is also deliciously nutty in the best way it can.
Because of the saltiness, it is quite a strange scent... You can smell all the sweetness there is, chocolate and vanilla, and lots of hazeltnut, and honey, and then there is this salty air feeling to the whole, and a touch of woodyness.
I am not sure how to classify this one. Fantastically bizarre and captivating. Creamy, powdery, strange. And I definitely want to test more to make up my mind about it.
EDIT: Not a love, not even an infatuation Im afraid. The more I have it on me, the less I like. It lacks a bit of freshness, and after a few hours becomes stuffy, sweet-salty scent that has a power to suffocate. Maybe more citrus or something juicy would bring this alive?

Gourmand of the Highest Class

Créme de Pistache is a very noble gourmand that boasts an impressive sillage and long-lasting wear. Right from the first spray, a heavenly and wonderful pistachio scent fills the nose, combined with a fine almond aroma. The fresh bergamot is only faintly detectable. However, this takes away some of the heaviness from the fragrance.

Hazelnut and chocolate complete the heart note of this gourmand masterpiece, which still does not come across as extremely "punchy" or too sweet. This enchanting scent is rounded off with a hint of vanilla, a touch of (sandal)wood, and a dash of patchouli.

For anyone who finds Mugler's "Angel" too extreme, it's definitely worth giving this a try.

A certain similarity can be recognized, but Créme de Pistache is significantly more elegant and subtle than Mugler's gourmand blockbuster ;)

Amateur Nose

The first moment: oh no, Angel.. I just don't like Angel. For my amateur nose, it is not a gourmand, and what so many perfume lovers can smell in Angel completely eludes me.
My nose only picks up Fenjala bath pearls from my childhood. Neither chocolate, nor caramel, nor cotton candy.
However, once the initial Angel shock wears off, Crème de Pistache transforms into an incredibly complex gourmand fragrance, from which Angel could take a thick slice, in my opinion.
I smell pistachios, almonds, chocolate, and vanilla.. all very distinct, not a homogeneous mush, not made unrecognizable.
Hazelnuts, lightly roasted and sugared.. no, caramelized.
But here too, the dose makes the poison: a single spray promises hours of olfactory pleasure without becoming overwhelming or annoying.
Weeks ago, one of my scarves got a spritz of it and still smells of it today.
Crème de Pistache has everything a good gourmand needs, and my amateur nose is reconciled.

Christmas Chocolates

Yes, the similarity to "Angel" is unmistakable for me! And this perfume is just as polarizing. Those who like "Angel" should definitely give this one a try. However, even some "Angel opponents" appreciate this scent. But those who generally have little affinity for gourmand perfumes will find little joy here...

The most significant difference compared to "Angel" (which I like in all its variations) is that I can recognize the individual notes - especially the heart notes - much better here. "Creme de Pistache" (CdP) starts for me with a complete disregard for the top notes, diving straight into an intense pistachio note, and shortly thereafter with (bitter) almonds, nuts, honey, caramel, and a bit of chocolate. Sometimes one note stands out more, sometimes another. The quite pronounced patchouli in "Angel" is hardly noticeable here. "Angel EDP" also has a very slightly "sweaty" note, which is completely absent here. Therefore, I give it 10 out of 10 points.

Basically, I have the scent notes of ingredients for my Christmas chocolates in front of me - purchased chocolate shells with individually made fillings using: hazelnut nougat, pistachio cream, honey truffles, caramel (seasoned with Fleur du Sel), almond cream, fruit pastes... even the "woody notes" are represented in the form of licorice powder, which gives one of the truffle masses a subtle licorice note.

For me, CdP is one of the most beautiful gourmand scents for the pre-Christmas season - but of course, it's a matter of taste.

However, CdP has one significant disadvantage compared to "Angel": the latter, with all its flankers, indeed has the visually more appealing bottles! The bottles of the Mercier series are rather simple and functional.

Burnt milk - rancid nuts - old musty chocolate = synthetic disgusting. Perverse gourmand mush mix. Nothing fits together.

The unknown sister of "Angel" has what the star lacks: restraint and class! A surprise winner and a must-buy candidate.

Very loud gourmand that smells like a pistachio pastry dripping in icing. I loved it at first, but then I got tired of it.

Initially smells like a delicious praline with pistachio filling, very gourmand. Unfortunately, it quickly turns nutty-herb with a lot of patch. What a shame.

In the first seconds, delicious pistachio ice cream, just as hoped. But then it turns into a subdued "Angel"! Why... I just wanted pure pistachio ice cream :/
