Yum Pistachio Gelato | 33

Sweet, fluffy, vanilla, nutty, woody, powdery, cool, warm spicy, floral, feminine, sensual, seductive, sexy, flirty, playful, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delicate, delightful, uplifting, cheerful, yummy, alluring, tempting, addictive, inviting, cozy, comforting, gourmand, unique On me this opens with sweet, creamy, and cool pistachio ice cream, decadent hazelnut, and boozy sweet rum with soft whispers of bright bergamot and warm spicy cardamom. As it starts drying down the syrupy pear, juicy peach, sweet raspberry, soft Lily-of-the-valley, velvety peony, and sweet geranium intertwine with the top notes adding a soft fruity floral scent. The dry down is absolutely gorgeous with fluffy marshmallows, airy whipped cream, sugary sweet cotton candy, rich tonka bean, creamy sandalwood, and woody cedar. The notes that are the most prominent on me are the pistachio ice cream, hazelnut, sweet rum, geranium, whipped cream, marshmallows, cotton candy, tonka bean, and sandalwood. This is so delightfully yummy! A really unique and beautiful scent! It really does come across as something cool, and carries that facet throughout the whole wear. It’s gourmand, but also boozy, woody, and somewhat floral. It has a sweet and fluffy dry down with woody accords, but it doesn’t grow into something overly deep. It comes across as cool pistachio ice cream swirled with sugary cotton candy and fluffy marshmallows topped with airy whipped cream. It’s fitting with the softer base, as with a name like Pistachio Gelato you would expect something sweet, fluffy, and delicious. In the deep dry down this reads as a sugary cotton candy and cool nutty pistachio ice cream. I have several other pistachio fragrances including Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, SDJ 62, BBW Pistachio Glaze, and VS Pistachio Créme. I can’t say that any of them are that overly similar to this. If you’re looking for something that’s straight almond-pistachio like then I’d suggest trying BBW Pistachio Glaze. I have to mention how much this changed and grew on me. Whenever I first got this it came across as somewhat soapy and powdery, definitely not what I was expecting. I wasn’t overly drawn to it, but I kept coming back to it because I was re hopeful. Eventually, that soapy scent completely disappeared, and this grew into a really sweet and yummy gourmand scent. I’m not sure if it’s because it macerated, my nose changed, or some of both, but I’m absolutely delighted it happened because it’s a definite love now. I even got a 2nd bottle of it, and it immediately started off as the yummy goodness that I’ve described here. I’ve become a huge fan of Kayali fragrances, and they’re now my favorite brand. This was my first one followed by Vanilla 28 and Utopia Vanilla Coco. I now have a total of 18 different Kayali fragrances in my collection. My top 5 are Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Vanilla 28, The Wedding Silk Santal, Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, and Yum Pistachio Gelato. For reference, some of my other favorites (besides the Kayali ones I’ve already mentioned) include PDM Oriana, GdT Celeste, Kilian LDBS, Princess, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Burberry Goddess, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Black Opium Glitter, D&G The One Desire, Valentino DBIR Ivory, JPG Classique Pin Up, JPG Classique (OG lace corset bottle), Guerlain Mon Guerlain, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, Phlur Heavy Cream, SDJ Summer é Amor, 62, 39, VS Vanilla Lace (OG), BBW Beach Nights, Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, Fireside Flurries I always get excellent performance from Kayali fragrances, and YPG is no exception. The longevity is impressive, it lasts throughout the entire day on me. The projection is good, it radiates out a few feet from me. I only need a few sprays to get this effect, so I do consider this to be a good value. This is one of the few fragrances that I actually enjoy layering sometimes as well as wearing alone. Some of my favorite combos include... ✨YPG + Yum Boujee Marshmallow = A sweet and fluffy marshmallow with strawberry, whipped cream, cotton Candy, pistachio ice cream, hazelnut, and sweet rum! ✨YPG + Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar = A more rich vanilla and caramel leaning fluffy marshmallow, airy whipped cream, sugary cotton Candy, pistachio ice cream, hazelnut with boozy sweet rum! ✨YPG + Vanilla 28 = a sweet, rich, and boozy vanilla with marshmallow, whipped cream, cotton candy, pistachio ice cream, hazelnut, and boozy rum! ✨YPG + Oriana = a sweet and fluffy fruity marshmallow with a cool nutty pistachio ice cream swirled with boozy sweet rum, cotton Candy, and whipped cream! ✨YPG + Kilian Princess = a fresh, green, and fresh spicy sweet and fluffy marshmallow with a cool, nutty pistachio ice cream swirled with boozy sweet rum, sugary cotton candy, and airy whipped cream! ✨YPG + Skylar Boardwalk Delight = a sweet & fluffy cotton candy swirled with nutty pistachio ice cream, boozy sweet rum, fluffy marshmallows, airy whipped cream, and soft marine accords! ✨YPG + Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows = a sweet and fluffy fruity marshmallow with a cool, nutty pistachio ice cream swirled with boozy sweet rum, sugary cotton candy and airy whipped cream! ✨YPG + SDJ 62 = a sweet and cool nutty pistachio ice cream and fluffy marshmallow swirled with vanilla, caramel, boozy sweet rum, cotton candy, and airy whipped cream!

I want to start my review focusing on Kayali as a brand alone. I have tried every fragrance they offer, and the only two in my collection are vanilla 28 and vanilla royale. I learned after invite only to stop purchasing full bottles and focus on the travel to test. I found myself getting excited over the releases just to end up not really liking the fragrance for one reason or another, and then having to either return, or give away the perfume. I find that their fragrances tend to be an unrefined version of many other well known Fragrances. I think Kayali is okay if you find those other fragrances to be more challenging. I, on the other hand think for the price I would prefer something stronger with better longevity. Onto pistachio gelato 33. I ordered a travel size of this fragrance from Sephora. Although I am sort of always underwhelmed by Kayali fragrances, they definitely intrigue you with all of the marketing and talk that they generate. With so many opinions of this scent I definitely wanted to try it to see what everyone was talking about and SUPRISE it was just like all other Kayali Fragrances that I have experienced...nothing quite special. This is just okay. On me it doesn’t last which I’m quite used to by now and the scent profile is nothing spectacular. It’s a pretty fragrance.You do get a slight bit of pistachio, but overall it is a very fresh fragrance that does settle down and becomes a bit more creamy. I can understand the soapy comments because to me this is like a creamy bodywash sort of smell. I don’t hate it and I actually really enjoyed wearing it for the past few days but I would definitely not spend $100 for a full size bottle. Is it bad, not by any means, but I can understand people are expecting something more, their fragrances are just so light and with all of the fragrance launches, I’ve smelled much better.

Okay so now that I’ve had several hours to sit with the perfume on I decided to delete my original review and do it over. I’ll start by saying that this is kind of unisex smelling to me. It has the freshness that someone’s perfumes tend to share. It’s not over bearing and ca still be worn as a feminine scent just not quite as much in the opening as I had thought. This smells really nice but I had higher expectations for it. And wow does this perfume ever have a crap load of notes it’s unbelievable! With the ones on the back of the bottle being all gourmand I expected it to be much more sweet rather than fresh. It’s not a bad thing....i have such a hard time giving bad review to any perfume lol I now have 8 and tomorrow will be 9 of the Kayali fragrances and this one is not in my top four sadly. It’s not a bad smell it’s just such a cluster of different notes it’s hard to explain how it smells. Each to their own I suppose! Oh and I’m on my third bottle of Maldives in a bottle it’s jus so so good, the problem is they last like a body mist hence how I ended up on my third bottle in less than six months , and I’ll buy another one next week to make sure I don’t run out!!!thanks for reading my rant haha

Wow , there's always variation in how people perceive fragrances, but it seems like there is extra diversity in these reviews. I LOVE this! I'm not typically a gourmand lover, but this one takes me on an entire citrus-spicy-sweet -smooth journey. The opening really does smell like lime sorbet from the bergamot and lactonic notes, but soon after, I get the cardamom and sandalwood sashaying into the picture. I haven't caught much of the florals, but the way the base notes of whipped cream, tonka and cacao meld sensuously together as it dries down is positively spellbinding to me. I absolutely cannot inhale it deeply enough. It creates such a cute little scent bubble, not overpowering but definitely noticeable to me. I will say I'm a sensitive sniffer lol so maybe the folks who only a masculine,cologne like impression of this are those who need something bolder. For me, it just smells so soft in the sense that I'm melting into it like a bowl of half-eaten gelato. YUM, indeed. I do also detect a bit of pink sugar DNA as someone else mentioned. Total winner , I love you Olivier Cresp!!

Smells familiar, but refined. Reminds be of a vanilla cake, like that old Play-Doh. This perfume gives me a middle school flashback after PE class where the girls would spray their sweet mists all over. Somehow it smells familiar, maybe like a BBW or Victoria's mists, but overall better. The opening is is very strong of the bergamot and as someone who expecting sweet notes from this perfume, the bergamot is quite distracting. Somehow i can pick up the peony and pear early on, mixed with the bergamot it's giving a more rounded green tea scent, very similar to Elizabeth Arden's. As the freshness subdued, what's left is a very warm and scrumptious scent, it's very pretty and nice, but not overly sweet. It's definitely the cream and cocoa. For me, the pistachio itself still lingers all time wearing, and more noticeable as the bergamot subdued. This would be a good blind buy, 8,5/10! I would not be mad giving this to someone or being gifted to LOL!
