Green, clean and milky facets of pistachio
I love pistachio scents, so I try to sample them all. Especially when a new one is released.
Une Pistache is quite different from the rest of them: Not very gourmand, neither particularly sweet, nor savory-roasty. Instead it opens up green and leafy, almost grassy! The first blast reminds me of young shoots on some kind of bush or tree. Pistachio is only a whisper at this point. I was sceptical at first, simply because I'm not a big fan of grassy green scents and thought this would not work for me.
But quickly, some milky and woodsy undertones join in. Together with the greenery this reminds me of the structure many fig fragrances have: leafy and milky.
And then then scent finally turns a little sweeter and the pistachio becomes noticeable. The green notes move into the background, heliotrope's almond-like facets emphasize the nuttiness and a base of white musk and sandalwood unfolds.
The change from opening to drydown is fast and dramatic on my skin, which I'm happy about, as I enjoy the drydown much more. It becomes a clean, slightly creamy, slightly powdery skin scent with a lovely pistachio accent and the slightest hint of green.
It's not a weak scent, but has a softer presence. Perfect for anyone who loves pistachio, but doesn't want to wear heavy gourmands all of the time. I see this as a daytime scent, a subtle cocoon for the office, running errands or just lounging around.
