Pistachio is one of my favorite notes, so I'm always happy to try new pistachio fragrances.
This one starts out with a very nutty and sweet pistachio note. It also makes me think of almonds and amarettini biscuits. Very scrumptious!
After a short while, the pistachio calms down and vanilla and condensed milk come in. Please don't expect an extremely literal condensed milk note, this is more of a general sweet milkiness than a photorealistic impression. I actually like this about the scent, because this way, it doesn't turn turn heavy. It's a light pistachio scent that has a bit of freshness in its base, so it can be worn on many occasions, even if you don't feel like putting on a heavy-hitting gourmand. It could be my imagination, but I think there is an unlisted note here that has a slightly floral, creamy effect. And don't worry, the pistachio never leaves completely, it just becomes less and less in-your-face over the time.
To me, this is not particularly similar to Kayali's Pistachio Gelato, which is more complex and perfumey and has lots of notes I don't get here at all.
I can imagine that this isn't edible enough for some gourmand fans and too edible for some other perfume lovers. But to me, it sits at a perfect middle point in between. Defined, noticeable pistachio that doesn't overstay its welcome and melts into a milky skin scent.
