Sweet pistachio ice cream in a bottle
This is very true to the name!
A creamy, fluffy, ultra sweet pistachio. Accents of almond, sugary vanilla and whipped cream make it even more scrumptious. It reminds me of pistachio ice cream, topped with a few crumbled almond cookies. The base of the scent is a sugary white musk. This doesn't have the savoriness of roasted, salted pistachios, it's clearly in the ice cream/dessert realm.
So, you really have to like it sweet to appreciate this scent.
I even understand why some might say it smells more like a scented candle than a perfume, but well, in this case it's a good candle that I wouldn't mind smelling like. And I say that even though I often find waxy, candle-like background notes in gourmands rather offputting.
In my opinion the grass green liquid doesn't fit the scent, it should be a light pastel green, maybe with some soft pink swirls. The scent feels too girly and cute for such a glaring hue.

Regarding the comparison to Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato, I think it's a matter of personal preferences in the end. If you like a more perfumey, multilayered gourmand with floral accents, pafchouli etc., the Kayali is for you. If you prefer something more foody, realistic, straight to the point, Sphinx it is. I'm a perfumey gourmand girl, so I'd chose Kayali, but I totally understand how others would chose Sphinx.

Directly at the beginning brilliant, unfortunately that is gone too quickly
The Creme de Pistache has really had a lot of potential, in my opinion.
The fragrance has a wonderful top note, but unfortunately only directly at the beginning.

The fragrance really starts with a super delicious pistachio note.
You really get associations to a delicious pistachio ice cream. In addition, one also has directly the impression of a kind of marzipan, the roasted almond will provide here for this impression. A gentle beautiful vanilla accompanies the top note and it right generally just fine.
A super Gourmand.

Now I come, unfortunately, to the negative of the top note.
I personally find that the top note also does not last long.
Quickly, the fragrance gains a slightly different impression without, however, completely losing its sweetness. The pistachio definitely goes back, something almond with the marzipan vibes remains a little.
Some rum, amber and cinnamon join them.

The listed cherry, a lemon and generally fruits I can not really perceive.
In fact, but I really had the impression to smell rice in the meantime. Sounds stupid, but is so. I had but only briefly. I thought first it had been imagination, but I no longer knew the fragrance notes and when I had seen that rice is listed, I had to laugh and thought to myself that it was possibly not pure imagination.

The fragrance then ends on this slightly warm amber and musk.

I found the performance of the fragrance to be really good.
He has good durability and the sillage is also good.
Unfortunately, the nice strong gourmand top note is gone too quickly.

Yum...
Sphinx's new fragrance, Creme de Pistache, was such a pleasant suprise. It is everything I had hoped the Kayali Pistachio Gelato frangrance would be. Kayali Pistachio is a fine fragrance, but IMO, the name set-up false expectations. One expected creamy, fluffy notes. It did not deliver that.

Sphinx's Creme de Pistache is very nutty, realistic and gourmand. And boy, is it a beast. A lovely fragrance for cooler temperatures. I'm thinking that this would also be great for laying. For example, with Bianco Latte.

Smells like a cheap candle
I'm not generally a fan of super sweet fragrances, so perhaps I'm missing something necessary to enjoy this?

Honestly it smells like a terrible off-brand candle, it’s syrupy sweet with heaps of “pistachio” flavoring. And it is NUCLEAR. I will need to remove it from my house with a pair of those HomerSimpson-radioactive-material-tongs.
