Luscious

My latest obsession! In many reviews this is compared to kayali yum pistachio but I do not think this is by any means a dupe or an inspiration! The opening certainly has a similar zingy gelatinous quality that is very juvenile through it's candied feeling but to me that's the only quality that is close! As previously mentioned the opening has a younger quality with its brightness but as this dries down (which happens very quickly) that zinginess fades into a blanket of a honeyed nuttiness which is just delightful. The sweetness of this fragrance comes from the honey and the tonka which makes this feel quite a mature gourmand compared to kayali's which has a much more artificial sweetness! I love the honey note here, it took me a few wears to truly notice it but it becomes very prominent after maybe 2 hours of wear as the pistachio fades and it is shockingly realistic. It has a deep manuka honey richness so if anyone is longing for a realistic honey note, this is a great and affordable option! For a perfume that is mostly compared to pistachio forward fragrances I find the peanut note becomes the star on dry down, and it's a peanut note that leans greasy and I really like this about the perfume as it feels more specific than some of the drier and toasted nut accords I've smelled. The formulation of this is lovely and has this creaminess that is delectable but not so overtly foody that it is near cloying or headache inducing. Overall, a great versatile perfume that has good performance and projection, it has qualities I love that would make it blind buy safe and I do think it's agreeable but do not go into this fragrance expecting it to be super pistachio, it has it but to me it's not the star. The simplicity of the amount of notes here work wonders and I do recommend to those looking for a richer, deeper gourmand! Also very much unisex! I always note in my reviews that I do not care about fragrance gendering but it helps paint a picture so yeah this is definitely not one I'd expect to be categorised as "female" (31/01/2026 update I am on my second bottle of this and I think this might be a rare repeat buy for me - that honey note is still quite spectacular and I just love how musky the sweetness is here. In my time since this review I came across Baklava Al Sultan by Maison Eau de Couture and I think there is much more comparison to be made with that than the kayali fragrance. In any case I think this really is a standalone and an amazing one. Remains a favourite.)

Testing Yum Pistachio Gelato and its dupes, Khair Pistachio and Luscious on skin simultaneously. Posted reviews for each of these. In the opening, Khair Pistachio is the freshest of these. The bergamot is detectable. There's a shampooey, soapy vibe, like it's lathery instead of creamy. The development takes quite a while and the pistachio-vanilla combo comes out slowly. It turns a bit creamier and sweeter, but it doesn't feel completely gourmand to me. It has the most florals, the jasmine is detectable. It's the lightest and airiest of the 3. KP would be nice for the warm season. YPG gives bright freshness in the very beginning, but it goes away in minutes. It turns creamy and edible fairly quickly. It's sweet, light and quite airy, like whipped gelato. This is the only one where I can detect a bit of rum. Some comments say it's got a clean feel to it and I agree, but it's not soapy to me like KP. It's got a gourmand vibe, but it doesn't smell completely edible. The most complex of the bunch, the development from fresh to clean to sweet takes some time, and at some point in the mids it even smells a little sour. To me, it's the least sweet in the drydown, so if this was too sweet for you, just skip the other ones. I'd wear YPG during the warm season. Luscious opens up instantly nutty. The peanut is actually pretty strong and enjoyable here, as is the pistachio. The texture is much denser, creamier and nuttier than KP or YPG, no florals here. It gives a "warmer" vibe (someone said it's like melted pistachio ice cream). Despite the opening not being very sweet, get ready for the drydown to be VERY sweet; it's quite dense honeyed vanilla and definitely the sweetest of the 3. Luscious would be perfect for the colder time of the year, but I could see myself wearing this in on a summer evening. IMO it's the most unisex of the bunch and also the most gourmand. Overall Luscious is definitely my favorite, which is fortunate, since I blind bought a full bottle based on recommendations. I think it could be worn around the year. It has by far the best longevity and projection. Score for Luscious Scent: 4.5/5 Performance: 5/5 When: I'd wear this for a cool fall day getting a coffee with friends Cost/value ratio: 5/5, unbeatable for the price

OMG this is absolutely Devine So... A. No it’s not dupe for Kayali smelling Kayali again after this just joke from a nut or cream perspective atleast to my nose and skin chemistrykayali is fresh but not sweet or creamy or nutty as this is l B. To my nose and skin It’s what I actually what I was hoping Kayali to be, this is so much better for what I wanted it to be in my opinion C. The batch / bottle I recieved was 100% photo realistic nut, as in generalised nuts hazelnut, pistachios and peanut absolutely zero alcohol I got from first spray genuinely from The literally does first spray I was in love D. I only want and reach for this I’m actually selling my Kayali I’m a fan if you couldn’t already tell For me when I compare eclair and Luscious arm to arm the sugar spun cream is very similar but I know am a luscious fan girl as I find it more fluffy nutty and actually sweeter than Eclair

I got rid of all my pistachio fragrances and just kept this one. The usual pistachio freshness is supported by the citric note (bergamot) with a touch of spiciness coming from the cardamom. What I find makes all pistachio perfumes the same and not as enjoyable is indeed that freshness. But in Luscious that only lasts for a given amount of time and as it starts to dry the nuttiness and non-clogging sweetness from the peanut and the combo of base notes really shine through. Adding peanut and honey to this fragrance makes it completely stand out from the rest in the market. I can really smell creamy musky tonka in the drydown. In love with every single step of its evolution from start to finish. A unique composition in a sea of pistachio based fragrances.

I blind brought this along with "Liquid Brun". This is such a beautiful nutty gourmand perfume. I already have a bottle of "Khair Pistachio" by Paris Corner and a small sample of "Yum Pistachio Gelato" by Kayali, but this one is my favourite among all. The starting is a bit fresh with the citrus smell but after 2-3 mins it turns to yummy toasted pistachio smell. This literally reminds me of that Dubai pistachio kunafa chocolate. Such a gorgeous smell and it lasts about 8+ hours. This is the best pistachio perfume in my collection and way better than "Yum Pistachio Gelato". The sweet vanilla, honey, tonka gives a chocolate note and off you can smell the musk in the background but its not that dominant.

If you are one of those people who likes edible scents (Gourmands); I suggest you try this one. This perfume is a perfectly balanced combination of pistachio, cream and peanuts. Its sweetness is perfectly controlled and you can smell the pistachio along with the peanut fat. This perfume is classified as a women's perfume; but in my opinion it is completely unisex. اگر از جمله افرادی هستید که به عطرهای خوراکی مانند علاقه دارند؛ بهتون پیشنهاد میکنم که این عطر رو تست کنید. این عطر ترکیبی کاملا حساب شده از پسته و کرم و بادام زمینی است. شیرینی اش کاملا کنترل شده هست و شما بوی پسته رو در کنار چربی بادام زمینی حس میکنید این عطر رو به عنوان عطر زنانه تقسیم بندی کرده اند؛ ولی از نظر من کاملا یونیسکس میباشد

Nose Note #701 I'll keep it short. This is stronger than Lattafa Affection and just better. The scent is richer, a little sweeter, more interesting and natural. More like a milky pistachio. Much stronger than Affection. This very long lasting. Not everyone appreciates the DNA, but I love it. It's definitely a feminine scent though. And mind that it's a gourmand scent, i.e. you'll smell like food. 9/10, the DNA is so unique and beautiful

This a nice pistachio scent...starts off creamy, sweet, super nutty...I'm not picking up on peanut and feel like pistachio overpowers it if there...it has an aromatic freshness about it...I'd say this is a creamier version of Khair pistachio...I really like it...the drydown is a warm honeyed vanilla tonka bean and reminds me of the cozy Blanche Bête Les Liquides Imaginaires..the freshness remains throughout the whole journey. Love.

Great fragrance, very impressed. Pistachio, creamy, fresh, vanilla and marshmallows. Rounded and blended to perfection. Yum pistachio on steroids. Its gets better and stronger after 2 weeks after first spraying it. Performance is great concidering there is no heavy notes in this. This puts Kayali to shame.

As a pistachio fragrance lover, this ticks all boxes. I feel this take on the Kayali one to be much better. The pistachio smells toasted with a light smell of roast peanut. There is freshness on the opening but has a comforting, creamy gourmand dry down. Lasts about 5 hours on me.

The opening lets this down for me, it's so sharp and bergamotty and completely at odds with the gorgeous nutty dry down. The dry down is delicious though and I find the peanut note so charming here. Edit: oh hey, it's been a few days and the bergamot isn't so prominent anymore.

I love Kayali yum pistachio DNA. Though I don't have OG , I have Luscious, Lattafa Affection and Paris corner Khair pistachio. Luscious is the longest lasting and creamiest among these. However, other two have their own merits. If I have to select one , I would go with this.

I get this smooth, creamy nuttiness from pistachio and peanut notes. The honey compliments the nuttiness scent. I’m glad it doesn’t get soapy like the OG. I could wear this everyday.

Luscious arrived at the March home on a quiet afternoon, the sort of hour when the fire is low, the kettle hums softly and the world feels gentle. She stepped through the doorway with a powdered sweetness clinging to her, a faint dusting of gourmand warmth - the kind that reminded me instantly of the Little Women sisters already gathered in the parlour. Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato 33 sat nearest the window, elegant and composed, her ribbons perfectly tied. She was Meg: refined, proper, with a sweetness that never tried too hard. Across from her lounged Dua Pistachio Dream Gelato 33, dreamy-eyed and romantic, scribbling verses into a notebook. Amy was Amy dramatic, expressive, always reaching for beauty. Beside the hearth was Lattafa Affection, warm-hearted and tender, the Beth of the group: soft, comforting, the scent of a hug you didn’t know you needed. And then there was Luscious. She entered like Jo March, unpolished but sincere, unisex in spirit, with a quiet nuttiness tucked into her character. Not as bold as Lattafa Éclaire Pistache, who would have burst in like Amy returning from Paris, arms full of sketches and opinions but steady, grounded and unmistakably herself. Her presence was intimate from the start, staying close like Jo reading by lamplight. Born in December 2024, she still felt young, her gourmand heart not yet fully matured. I suspected time would coax her forward, the way life slowly shapes each March sister into her truest self. I watched her quietly, wondering whether meeting her meant I should seek out the rest of her family: Liquid Brun and Liquid Brun Limited Edition - the brooding intellectual twins, Meringue the cheerful optimist, Cocoa Morado the mysterious artist, Sweet Paradise the bright social butterfly and Azzure Oud the worldly traveller. But uncertainty lingered. Luscious was lovely, yes, but her voice was still forming. Yet her appearance was undeniable. She stood there in a bottle as elegant as a well-kept parlour, colours chosen with care, lines drawn with intention. She looked like she belonged among finer things. And then, as the days passed, she changed. Two weeks later, Luscious returned to me transformed, no longer the shy Jo of early chapters but Jo in her full womanhood: confident, warm and unexpectedly sensual. Her nuttiness had deepened, blossomed, grown richer. She now carried a glow reminiscent of Éclaire Pistache, but with an extra roasted warmth that felt entirely her own. She had not been incomplete. She had simply been waiting for her moment. And when it came, she was unforgettable, a March sister in spirit and now, a fragrance I love dearly.

I bought this a couple of months ago, I sprayed it upon receiving it and found it very powdery and sickly sweet, so I let it sit for a while and came back to it in the past week or so. It definitely needed to rest for a while because it smells different now! Maybe it’s just me idk but now it is no longer super powdery, it’s nutty and sweet but it’s a pretty balanced sweetness to me (maybe the peanut gives it a little savory edge). I do feel like there is a synthetic amber chemical of some sort in the base that can be irritating to my nose if over sprayed so I have to be careful (I like pretty soft fragrances anyway). Other than that I overall like this fragrance. It’s not a love however I am hoping it will grow on me a little more. Also I have a mini bottle of YPG to compare it to, it’s pretty close but I would say YPG is more soapy overall, especially in the dry down. I like them both though. I would say this one lasts longer as well. I think if you like the sweet Pistachio genre of fragrances you’ll like this one, it does exactly what it’s set out to do and does it pretty well especially for the price.

6 months ago when I bought this perfume it was a very smooth pistachio-vanilla ice cream scent. It was disappointing when I could not pick out the Peanut note. Now, its more noticeable. However it's very soft and subtle. It is the essence of an unsalted sweet peanut. It's very smoothly blended and a soft cozy scent. I think this is a unique Pistachio perfume worth trying out. It's not the nuttiness I was expecting, but it's there and therefore I am satisfied. The highlight notes in this are Pistachio, Peanut, Honey, and Vanilla. I just love the design of the bottle and it's package. It's very coordinated. Plus, the flourish lettering on the bottle is my favorite element about it!

This is everything I hoped Kayali’s Yum Pistachio Gelato would be; ice cream, nutty, smooth, sweet, and deliciously creamy. I get both pistachio and peanut from this one, although mostly pistachio. Just a touch of salt and cardamom. There is underlying bergamot, but it’s smooth and subtle. It’s far, far less powdery and fresh than the Kayali, and more densely creamy and nutty. Projection is moderate, and longevity around 5-6 hours. Definitely worth a try if you’re after a pistachio ice cream scent that truly delivers.

The opening spray hit really strong. Then the following sprays became somewhat softer and easier to wear. Few days later, the creamy notes became more noticeable. The pistachio and peanut notes were pretty noticeable to me. There was a certain bitterness that kept it from feeling as cozy or warm as other lactonic perfumes on the market. The sillage was amazing during the first hour (tested in a tropical country), and on clothes, the scent lingered for days—which is pretty impressive.

Luscious is a nutty, creamy, musky fragrance with citrusy top notes. It’s an interesting scent that’s growing on me more and more. It has moderate longevity, leans feminine but is easily unisex, and the price is good. It has a similar DNA to Kayali’s pistachio scent but I prefer Luscious because it’s richer and deeper (and lasts better). The packaging is next level - outshines a lot of high-end, pricey brands by light years.

This is a pretty good fragrance. It's nutty and creamy, with a honey note that shines. It lasts forever with solid projection. It's slightly on the feminine side of unisex, but it's not as feminine as Yum Pistachio. If you're a guy that likes gourmands like this, but usually they're too feminine, this is a safer play. I don't quite love this, but I'm happy with what I got for the price. It's solid.
