Frangipane al Pistacchio

This fragrance is truly surprising. It opens up literal pistachio/almond extract in the way that pistachio gelato always tastes like amaretto gelato with pistachio chunks in it. The opening is very nutty, but then there is a bright fruity smell that starts to make itself known. At first, I couldn't tell what the fruit was that I was smelling... then I realized that this was the almond and heliotrope playing the cherry games they like to play. That benzaldehyde molecule they have in common tends to play tricks on the nose and almond muddles with cherry. I absolutely enjoy it! My favorite flavor profile is cherry amaretto, so I'm incredibly biased. The almond/cherry accord is so bright here that it can border on the verge of synthetic smelling - like candy, not like plastic. I can see myself layering this with Xerjoff Casamorati Italica. I think the candy-like vibe would uplift the quite hyperrealistic vibe of Italica (which I can't decide whether to keep or declutter). Italica sounded like my fragrance dream in the flesh, but I was missing a little bit of something... including projection, haha. I'll give an update when I try it one of these days.

Omg FINALLY!!! A true PHOTOREALISTIC pistachio!!! When I think of pistachio in perfume - THIS is what I'm looking for!! I've been hunting for the pertfect pistachio frag for months. There is just the right amount of subtle sweetness from the vanilla and whipped cream, but the nutty tones are the most dominant. It's not green or soapy at all - it's a dry pistachio with a hint of sweetness. It's perfectly balanced. The sandalwood is the perfect finishing touch! Terri NAILED the assignment. The performance is pretty good as well - moderate wear and projection. You'll get a solid 3 hours before it begins to fade. I'm so happy I finally found the perfect pistachio perfume 🥹 Rating: 9/10

All the fragrances that claimed to be pistachio scents had been a major disappointment. Most of them were blended with other notes to make the scent feel more complex but for me that only muddied the pistachio and often became nauseating. I had been on the search for a fragrance that smelled like an actual pistachio dessert and this is exactly that. It gives Baskin Robbins Pistachio ice cream. Of course, pistachios themselves do not have much of a scent so this is closer to artificial pistachio flavoring than the actual nut but that's exactly the pistachio scent I've come to associate with pistachio desserts.

Smells like a specific type of sugar cookie you get at school parties, the bigger ones at Walmart with the huge sugar crystals on top. I say specific because there is an underlying fruitiness to these cookie that I can never put my finger on. But then again maybe I don’t know what pistachio smells like! It also had a cinnamon note that came out to play for like 10 minutes, I think that was the sandalwood. No floral notes smelt in this one. It’s a yummy smell. My sister and I immediately bought a full size today!

From first whiff this eau de parfum (launched 2021) satisfied my craving for the sweet, green nuttiness of "true pistachio." Frangipane al Pistacchio—Italian for the almond cream in French pastries (named for the plumeria flower, aka "frangipani") with pistachio—is a velvety, vanilla, almond-pistachio cream. A yummy, feminine-leaning dessert gourmand with hints of delicate heliotrope and creamy sandalwood.✿ In my Top 5 Scent family: Amber Vanilla Longevity on me: long-lasting

This is a wild ride on me. Perfect sweet cold ice cream in the bottle, then immediately on my skin goes a bit hard and sour, the "copper pennies" scent others have described. After half an hour or so, then there's finally the warm nutty pistachio, with bottom notes of butter and spice. I don't mind waiting for Terri's photorealistic fragrances, though!

a beautifully nutty pistachio forward opening with prominent whipped cream notes and sugary vanilla. Dries down to a creamy slightly floral vanilla with almond nuttiness. The pistachio isn’t apparent all the way through but I think the almond allows enough nuttiness to still be enjoyable.

This is positively beautiful. I had no idea pistachios could smell so wonderful, but combining them with these notes really makes a masterpiece! I just wish it lasted longer.

This is heavy on the pistachio and sweet almond. If you're a fan of either, you will love this. I smell so delicious and it reminds me of ice cream.

The perfect pistachio scent! Super sugary on me. The almond and pistachio dance around like lovers on my skin. Just wonderful!

Pistachio is all the rage lately and I'm looking for a great pistachio fragrance. I went and smelled Kayali's new Yum Pistachio at Sephora and the pistachio at the top is nice but fleeting. Overall Kayali's is too sweet and make me sick to wear. THIS Kyse fragrance, is a pistachio BOMB at the opening (unfortunately that note does fade too, but I feel like it lasted longer than Kayali's) and then there is a lot of almond extract. It's very very nutty - I almost detect peanut and hazelnut. It's sweet and gourmand but not overly so. It's like the baking aisle or the gelateria. It smells like you're wearing ingredients. My kids said it smells like "Trader Joe's Windmill Cookies" (an almond cookie). Unfortunately, I had the same experience as other reviewers and the final base notes don't agree with my skin chemistry at all. Someone else said like copper pennies and I'd agree. Strange! If the dry down works for you (I'd sample first), I would recommend this if you are nostalgic about almond-y baked goods (with a hint of pistachio), and you love realistic nutty gourmand fragrances.

I am doing review on cream i purchased; the opening is great its real nutty pistacchio, foody, gourmand. Nothing like girl of now- this is perfume. As it dries down I start smelling sthg like almond cherry!? I dont know why. But this is how I would imagine Tom Fords lost cherry smell like (btw I dont like the perfume at all). The only dissapointing for me its projection and sillage. Kyse perfumes are vey skin scents, does not project much. Lasting power is ok but i expect more from indie house. I will consider to purchase perfume to try sillage. Btw I have cream coco ala vaniglia and this project like crazy! My clothes and bed sheets smells like coco ala vaniglia.

The beginning smells exactly like pistachio pudding it is delicious. But almost immediately it begins to dry down to this powdery almost synthetic vanilla that reminds me of the smell of rubber bath ducks. I love the opening so much I would almost still buy it. I just wish they’d change their bottles they’re so cheap looking. Also why do they have frangipani in the name? I love the scent of real frangipani flowers that's why I tried this and it's not even in the notes.

ok, obsessed with this scent. so creamy, a realistic pistachio ice cream type scent that melds into the skin and then hits you with a sweet almond extract moment. leaving room for nuance, however, like others have mentioned, i do get a a strange mineral-metallic afterthought once it' been sitting on my skin for a while. almost like talc powder? regardless, that's probably the only thing standing in the way of me getting a FB, but can't wait to try more from Kyse!

I have a love-hate relationship with this perfume. I love the prominence of the pistachio and the overall smell reminds me of marzipan; I feel like I'm enjoying an expensive, rich pastry in an upscale bakery. On the other hand, the scent is very thick and syrupy sweet, and I'm not a fan of heavily sweet fragrances. It is a very unique gourmand though.

Perfect pistachio ice cream in the beginning. Transitions to this slightly rubbery soft floral almond. After about an hour or two though it dries down to this faint cigarette smell on my skin. I don’t hate it but it’s disappointing considering how good it is in the beginning.

I've sampled Kyse scents since the beginning and they just keep getting better. The initial burst of pistachio here is like boxed pudding, yummy but short lasting.

When you smell through the bottle, you get delicious pistachio. When you first apply to your skin, you get delicious pistachio. However, after only a few minutes, the pistachio goes away completely and almost the entire duration of the fragrance is powdery floral. I thought I was going to love this when I smelled through the bottle and first applied, but was so disappointed in how quickly the pistachio faded. It's one of the quickest note fades I've ever seen in fragrance, it's right there in the same category with Death & Floral's Vienna Waits For You. In that one, the bready chocolate faded into baby powder within minutes, and with this one, the pistachio fades almost immediately into powdery floral. So disappointed that I won't be able to enjoy this for summer. I was wanting a salty pistachio scent and I truly thought this was it at first. But instead it is a powdery floral. I can't do powdery scents so I will not be able to enjoy this. Sample before you blind buy a full-sized bottle!

@AlexLemonIncense just a heads up (for anyone reading), it doesn't have frangipani in the name; it's frangipanE, which is the name for an almond based cream mixture, i understand the confusion though as frangipani is a more common fragrance note! onto my actual review of the scent: i've never detected true pistachio nuttiness from any scents before until this one, so lots of props for the realism unfortunately for me, equally present is a cherry-dominant almond scent otherwise, the whipped creaminess is there and it doesn't turn badly on my skin, but i personally can't get into that cherry-almond vibe

355 Well this is an absolutely amazing bitter almond vanilla custard scent. Like steamed milk with almond syrup. So intense and delicious! If it were not for the dusty metallic note that appears in dry-down here and in many other Kyse fragrances, I would be getting a FB. Unfortunately, after 30 minutes, this unpleasant note appears and has stopped me from purchasing a FB from Kyse. 9/10-It's excellent, but Kyse, please figure out what that unpleasant note is at dry-down, which I smell in all your products, some more and some less so.
