One of the best pistachios I've tried - with a sad ending
THIS is what I've wanted out of a pistachio fragrance! So many gourmand pistachios have fallen flat for me lately - like "Yum Pistachio Gelato | 33 | Kayali" (not gourmand + too synthetic), Pistachio Brûlée Eau de Parfum (too powdery for my taste), Praline & Pistachio (I got buttered popcorn), etc.
To my nose, Pistachio Crème smells like a realistic creamy puff pastry - filled with a sweet, pistachio-flavored custard center. It's rich, ultra gourmand, and delicious - not overly nutty, salty, or "buttery", the way many pistachio notes come across.
But sadly, I didn't experience the same magic on my skin as I did on the tester strip. It ended up smelling like expired cereal on me, so I unfortunately had to pass on this one.

@Jayvicmay thank you, you get it - it truly is the worst! 😭 I was so excited seeing how pretty it was on a tester strip - but my skin chemistry can unfortunately be tricky haha. 🙈 I know so many people will enjoy this one though!!
