It started off so well, but the dry down destroyed it for me
My dreamy pistachio cardamom scent, I finally found you! I adore cardamom absolutely and I don't own anything gourmand. I'm not against gourmand, but I often find them too intense. Then I found this little, green bottle and sprayed it on a card. How lovely! It was light, it was not too sweet, just a hint of vanilla. Gorgeous!
I bought a sample from a Parfumo member and while I was waiting for it to arrive, went into a shop and gave it a try on in the middle of a hot, Summer day. Oh no. What? It has that synthetic, powdery note that I can only describe as "perfume-y" or something a LOT of designer fragrances use and niche ones not as much. I can't stand that stuff and I don't know exactly what it is. I think it's a synthetic musk. It's something very commonly used.
My sample arrived and I did not touch it. Until this morning, which was relatively cold. The opening was heaven again and for 3 hours, I appreciated a delicious balance of very soft citrus and mint together with realistic pistachio, cardamom and vanilla like my favourite Indian rice pudding, kheer. LOVE! It was going so well. I even found a bottle on sale for 99 instead of 160. But then... the musk/powder dry down. OH NO! It's horrible! I honestly even gave it another spray in the evening for that opening and at some point I just couldn't take it anymore. I happily washed it off and went for the greenest of green scent I could find. That was the end of my pistachio and gourmand experiment. No bottle for me, but I did go make myself some kheer.
