Pistachio Glaze

Sweet, creamy, warm, nutty, woody, feminine, sensual, flirty, delightful, dreamy, decadent, rich, yummy, delicious, inviting, alluring, cozy, comforting Oh wow this is super good! I can’t believe that it took me this long to finally try it, and get some! It actually reminds me a lot of the pistachio ice cream I usually have in my freezer! I get a lot of sweet and creamy vanilla with a nutty, cherry, pistachio throughout, and just a very subtle touch of sugared patchouli in the base. I don’t think it’s at all similar to Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato, this is wayyy sweeter. It’s actually pretty unique when it comes to pistachio scents. I have SDJ 62 and VS Pistachio Creme as well as YPG and this one, but they’re all quite different from Pistachio Glaze. I enjoy them all a lot, but for different reasons. Pistachio Glaze surprisingly gives me the most realistic vanilla and cherry pistachio scent. I personally don’t really get that cherry almost almond-y pistachio scent with the others, but it’s what I typically get with any pistachio ice cream/whipped pistachio crème/creamer that I have actually smelled/eaten throughout my life. I get good performance with Pistachio Glaze. The longevity is decent it lasts 6+ hours on my skin. The projection is moderate, about an arm’s length. For reference, I’m a huge gourmand fan, and some of my favorites include Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Vanilla 28, The Wedding Silk Santal, Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Yum Pistachio Gelato, PDM Oriana, Kilian LDBS, Princess, GdT Bianco Latte, Celeste, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Burberry Goddess, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Guerlain Mon Guerlain, JHAG Powder Love, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, Queen’s Caramel , Vanilla Salt, Phlur Honey Moon, Heavy Cream, Vanilla Nectar, SDJ Summer é Amor, SDJ 39, SDJ 62, VS Vanilla Lace, BBW Beach Nights Also, I have a ton of BBW mist (as well as VS mist, and a ton of different perfumes), and this is one of my favorites of their’s throughout the many years. Some of those others include Beach Nights, Cotton Candy Clouds, Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, Forever Sunshine, Cashmere Glow, Fireside Flurries, Love Unleashed, Cozy Vanilla Bourbon, Vanilla Romance, Fairytale, Frosted Snowdrop, Frosted Wonderland, Coco Paradise, Oahu Coconut Sunset, At the Beach, Meet Me in Miami, Honolulu Sun, Coastal Dreaming, Rice Flower & Shea

i've tried this on skin multiple times, desperately trying to convince myself i like this scent, but holy fuck it's bad. the initial pistachio note is a true gourmand pistachio and i love that, but there's this underlying musky dirtiness that i've only ever experienced one other time, in santal berry silk from vs. people are attributing that to the patchouli, but i think that's just something that can happen with really nutty scents on some people's skin or to their noses, since santal berry silk has a prominent almond note. absolutely the fuck not blind buy safe, but this projects and lasts well, so if it works for you, i'm jealous. edit: i am so happy to report that i’m eating my words. i gave into the hype and purchased a bottle on sale, hoping to eventually grow into it and idk what changed, but that nasty dirty note is gone and it’s just a true pistachio extract scent. it’s beautiful layered with a chocolate lotion and perfume.

Before I start, this is for the body spray that I bought today. I haven't tried the lotion or body wash This smells like the pistachio ice cream opening of Kayali Yum Pistachio but the scent doesn't evolve/change; it STAYS as that same scent. This is PERFECT for me because I LOVE the opening of Kayali Yum Pistachio but don't like the stinky floral it turns into. The scent doesn't last long at all (≥30 mins on skin >2 hours on clothes) and it doesn't really project after the first 15 minutes. I'm holding out hope that my bottles will macerate and last longer over time. I'll update in a month or two if they did macerate well. I'm thinking about trying the lotion and/or the body wash to see if that brings more longevity. TLDR; dupe of the opening of Kayali Yum Pistachio (pistachio ice cream) but no lasting power

When I first spray this, it reminds me of vanilla cake batter! When I spray this, it smells very gourmand to me. Almost like a vanilla cupcake with pistachio icing on it. In my opinion, this is one of Bath and Body Works best additions, and I hope they keep this scent (although I'm sure it will be limited edition). This fragrance is very cozy and warm, and in my opinion, it can be worn during all seasons. It smells amazing on me and others as well, it's a pretty strong scent, but not too overpowering to where it is unenjoyable. One of my all-time favorite scents, and I hope more gourmand scents like this are to come!

TL;DR: slightly warm and absolutely delicious. dries down into a scrumptious vanilla patchouli. one of my new favorites! longevity: when applying the body cream as well as the fine fragrance mist, i can still smell it on my skin 20 hours later. sillage: pretty good, especially for a FFM. it earned me a compliment when i went out for dinner last night, although it wasn’t from across the room or anything. wouldn’t call it “beast mode” but it’s definitely noticeable. definitely more of a daytime scent. worked in warm weather, but it’ll be perfect for the holidays. i will definitely be keeping this in my rotation!
