Pistachio Ice Cream

updated review: for me this opens up strongly like sweet almond extract/almond liquor and not like pistachio at all. then as it fades it turns into artificial pistachio and sweet vanilla but not like in an off putting synthetic way. i rlly like this smell although it’s not as accurate as i would have liked however the longevity is horrible. this lasts less than half an hour on me even when i tried layering it on top of lotion and spraying it on my clothes. something i love about it is how well suited it is for layering with other fragrances bc of how simple and compatible it is with other scents. so far my favourite combinations with this perfume have been the sol de jenero 71 as they blend so seamlessly and it brings out the macadamia note in the 71. also baccarat rouge 540 as i just love a gourmand layered with a woody more amd the mix of saffron and pistachio had u smelling like a persian dessert. and my absolute favourite combination is with Tom Ford lost cherry. the warm vanilla nuttiness is the absolute perfect pairing for the strong perfume.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Ben & Jerry's Pistachio Ice Cream is one of my favorite flavors and I gotta say... Demeter's Pistachio Ice Cream is FREAKING DEAD ON! (If you haven't tried the Ben & Jerry's Pistachio - think Hagen-Dazs Pistachio.) It truly smells like the ice cream tastes. I'm not talking about the cheapo extra dyed green pistachio ice creams - but the creamy rich nutty sweet ones that make your taste buds and olfactory senses jump for joy! It is a nutty, sweet, creamy kind of delicious. Great scent! Nice by itself and I bet would layer really nicely too. Pistachio is the new Almond! LOL. Downside = does not last long...but what Demeter does? Upside = 120 mL between $18 - $32 USD depending where you buy/find. ps - who ever voted on the accords - saying this was smoky? was likely smelling a fire in the distance or smoking! there is NO so called 'smoky' to this scent.

Not disappointed at all with the smell of this one. Great creamy pistachio scent, it is exactly as advertised, a pistachio flavored ice cream. It is sweet but not overwhelming, it's a milky kind of sweetness with the nutty pistachio accent. I love it. Longevity is actually not so bad as I already expect short longevity from Demeter, but I can still smell it from wrist 5 hours after even if oh, so light. Update: Got complimented on this one recently at a restaurant. The lady seated at the next table beside me said she was looking around for what dessert was smelling so good and she can't see any. She realized it was me and asked me what delicious scent I was wearing because she'd love to wear it all day. I guess it wasn't that light-smelling after all. :)

HOLY wow. THIS IS PISTACHIO in a bottle!!! Sadly, though, the initial blast only lasts about five minutes at best. Then, it just turns into kind of an almond-ish, sweet, skin scent. I will say that I've had this for several months and, having had it for this long- I think it may have macerated, because the pistachio is even stronger now, than when I first got it! Still, that initial perk does NOT last. But, I swear, it's worth having for my own pleasure to spray and just sniff for the wee few moments! Also- I have been layering it atop of my Black Opium Illicit Green (which I LOVE), and together- the two scents smell absolutely divine!

First whiff is extremely impressive! It smells 100% spot on to Pistachio Ice Cream. Not like “good for a fragrance”, I mean exactly like that. Indistinguishable from the real thing. Amazing. It stays basically the same as it dries down. Gets a tad bit softer. More musky and more warm vanilla, but only slightly. Mildly coconutty. Gets closer to semi-sweet pistachio butter. Remarkable. The new warmness makes me believe this would be a fragrance that could be worn any time of year. Since the longevity isn’t the best, you just might need to reapply it in the winter. Still, I highly recommend this.

I feel so lucky that I don't have any scent memories linking this to any kind of bathroom vibes like the reviewer below ;) because this is a complete LOVE for me! This is 100% pistachio ice cream to my nose and on my skin. Delicious, simple and delightfully fun! This is just a perfect light hearted scent that I pull for when I am in the mood for something simple, sweet and comforting, it has more depth and lasts much longer than a body spray. I highly recommend for anyone who likes this type of scent profile.

Simple and lovely. Very long-lasting for a cologne. It just makes you happy, perfect summer scent. I first bought it when it just came out, and pistachio scents were not yet in fashion. So people commented on how lovely it smelled, nobody could figure what it reminded them of, but it made them smile, like a forgotten happy memory. And it is. It smells exactly like a Pistachio Ice Cream. So that's your young and happly self, in the summer, with an ice-cream cone.

I love this so much It smells EXACTLY like the notes, so sweet and creamy and edible. I just wish it lasted longer and projected more because the rollerball barely lasts like an hour if I’m lucky. I have to constantly sniff at my wrist to remind myself that it’s on there. I think I’ll have to get the spray to see if it’s any better. Agreed that it definitely gets softer as it dries down to nothingness but the first initial application is so good everytime

I got this along with Thunderstorm as a roll on oil perfume in a bundle sale on Demeter Fragrance. This is very milky just like pistachio ice cream. It smells exactly how it should. My only complaint is that it doesn't last long. Tip* Demeter Fragrances last longer in hair and on clothing than they do on skin. They are great for layering. Kit•sch Pistachio Latte hair perfume can't compare to this at all btw.

This smell has so many memories and love associated with it! The sweet, casual nuttiness of this scent is perfection. This is girly, but like... a cool girl. In Chicago, the Walgreens on State Street, you can actually smell all the Demeter regular line perfumes and purchase them. This is my favorite Demeter smell and I hope to expand my collection in the future. Ice cream parlour fantasy <3

This is my favourite comfort fragrance, plus it lasts forever and ever. It truly smells like my favourite iced treat. There's a moment of synthetic discomfort but that quickly fades into a creamy and nutty treat. Is this a gourmand? Who knows, but I love wearing it.

Literally smells like pistachio and vanilla ice cream. I’ve been wanting a dominant pistachio fragrance for awhile now and this did not disappoint. I’m not getting the plastic note I seen some people comment about thankfully! Such a yummy smelling fragrance.

I don't get the complaints, this is a great lactonic greeny nutty scent, a photorealistic pistachio ice cream perfume ❤I just wish it was stronger and lasted longer :/ it smells like the real thing btw if thats what ur lookin for

anyone else getting a strong almond extract top note? i love it but to me it smells more almond than pistachio and settles into a light soft vanilla. not sure why my experience is so different to others but still lovely

I bought this years ago before the big pistachio craze. I've since tried many pistachio fragrances, but this one remains the truest pistachio pudding smell. It's very sweet and straightforward. I love it.

I love this scent!!! It smells amazingly nutty, creamy, sweet and delicious! It does smell slightly like almonds but the note is not overpowering. It is a very balanced scent. I love it!

It reminds me of pistachio pudding. I love putting this stuff in my hair because I feel it lasts longer. worth the price!

I LOVE the scent. It just doesn't preform well. 2 1/2 to 3 hours on skin and about 3 to 4 on clothes.

I love this brand because they are so whimsy, which is a brilliant concept after all. The names of the perfumes are always straight forward and smells exactly as the names suggest. This is no exception. It really does smell like a freshly scooped pistachio ice cream from an ice cream stand on a hot summer day. In other words it’s very delicious! But even though I love gourmands this is too heavy to wear. And I feel that people would be somewhat confused if they smelled this on me, because as I said - the notes are always few and straight forward which makes them lack depth and complexity. I don’t really know if I want to smell like a pistachio ice cream. It’s not juvenile, it’s just weird. I still enjoy it though, but only wear it at home when I want to snuggle up

I've tried more expensive pistachio scents and been disappointed by a few. This is pretty nice. I have the rollerball and it smells very accurate in the bottle but less accurate on my skin. I'd be curious to try the spray on clothes. In the bottle it reminds me of a pistachio cake I like to make. On skin, it's a bit powdery at first, not in an unpleasant way, and it reminds me of amaretti or some other powdered sugar covered almond cookie. It's definitely more baked good at first and the drydown becomes more lactonic. I go back and forth on whether this is a pistachio or more of an almond. Either way, I'm not complaining for the price.
