Latte Pistachio or Latte Cardamom?
You know how a tiny picture of a cardamom pod in a perfume notes list sometimes looks like a pistachio? New Notes took this phenomenon to a new level and even made a pistachio scent that smells a lot more like cardamom. Which doesn't mean the pistachio is absent, no, it's clearly noticeable. Especially in the opening it smells light and sweet like a scoop of pistachio ice cream. But the cardamom is also there right from the start and stays consistently strong all through the drydown.
The salty note is recognizable as well, it adds a slightly mineral breeziness to the scent. The citruses and coriander are not so prominent to me.
In the drydown the scent turns a little milkier with soft musk and sandalwood, but it's more of a conceptual, fresh interpretation of milk than a realistic, gourmand milk note.
This is not the pistachio version of Latte di Cherry, just in case anyone has that idea. Latte Pistachio is neither as sweet, nor as loud, and has a more natural vibe, so they are quite unalike, even beyond the obvious difference in notes. Now that I think of it, most New Notes scents I have tried have a more synthetic vibe than Latte Pistachio.
This is not my favorite pistachio ever, I prefer them a little sweeter. But I still appreciate it, it's an original take on the note and a nice, wearable scent.
