What lasts long…

I have had "Luscious | French Avenue" for about two months now, and it really keeps getting better.

First of all, I want to mention that I do not know "Yum Pistachio Gelato | 33 (Eau de Parfum) | Kayali," so I cannot make a comparison.

In general, I can say that Luscious has a somewhat soapy/lotion-like character at the beginning and until the drydown, which makes the fragrance feel light and fresh; with cardamom, saffron, and the nutty notes working together. The scent also has a slightly green quality in the opening. It is gourmand, but it becomes more gourmand in the drydown.
In the drydown, the fragrance shifts from fresh, light, and green to warm, spicy, sweet, but not heavy. For me, the cardamom is present all the way into the drydown. The nutty notes are also there. Vanilla and honey join in. The tonka bean is certainly present as well, but with all the nutty notes, it doesn’t stand out enough for me to identify it.
The drydown gives me associations of ice cream on one hand, and on the other hand, it reminds me of Milchschnitte (the milk cream part, of course), probably due to the vanilla/honey combination. Really lovely.

I will wear this fragrance all year round. In the summer, probably more in the evenings, but it is not so sweet and “overwhelmingly gourmand” that it would be unwearable in the summer.

And as I mentioned at the beginning, I really had to let Luscious sit for a few weeks so that the perfume could develop nicely. And it will definitely get even better over time.
