Khair Pistachio

Fresh, Creamy & Sweet Pistachio... First Impression: I picture a fantasy of driving a pastel mint green moped along the Italian coast, past pistachio trees blowing in the sea breeze, getting back to a coastal villa and opening a pastel mint green refrigerator-freezer for a cold scoop of delicious pistachio gelato. It's a pastel mint green scent, that smells cool & creamy in the air and sweet on the skin. To get more specific on the notes, it starts of with some freshness that has hints of green & citrus (bergamot), but already I can feel the creamy & nutty tones of pistachio ice cream swelling through. That initial freshness tilts it to gelato more than ice-cream imo, true to the intention. That freshness gets a boost in the heart from fruits & flowers, but all the while it's getting sweeter and creamier. This wafts soft but present, while up close on the skin, I get more sweetness. Performance is great, still getting whiffs of it the next day. Second Impression: Performs well after aging a few months. This is a dupe of Yum Pistachio Gelato Kayali, with good approximation & performance. I like this brand, because so far I've liked everything I've tested from them. Sprayed this once on my wrist yesterday. The sprayer is really nice, giving a generous diffused shot. The pistachio is a lot more clear now and just gorgeous; it reminds me of a layered dessert my mom makes that has layers of pistachio pudding & cheesecake on a shortbread crust and topped with a layer of whipped cream . The dry down gets very sweet in an icing sugar kind of way, Could be worn year round due to the freshness combined with heavier sweetness and great performance. This works well alone, but could also be layered with other similar pistachio scents (including Yum Pistachio Gelato Kayali, Toasted Pistachio Bath & Body Works), other nutty scents (like almond), rose (for a Turkish Delight vibe), fresh greens or lactonics and more. Contrast to Yum Pistachio Gelato Kayali: Khair Pistachio is a dupe of Yum Pistachio Gelato with good approximation. As far as performance goes, Khair Pistachio has slightly stronger performance in terms of projection and longevity, but both are great. Contrast to Toasted Pistachio Bath & Body Works: These are both dupes of Yum Pistachio Gelato by Kayali with good approximation, but Toasted Pistachio doesn't have as strong of performance as Yum Pistachio Gelato (as you would expect with a perfume mist). Love them both for different reasons, and they would layer well together.

One of my favourite perfume reviewers was decluttering some of her least preferred bottles in her private collection and this happened to be one of them. I was surprised she didn’t like this because we tend to have similar tastes so I sent her a message asking why she didn’t vibe with this scent. Anyways, I stuck with my intuition that I was going to love this perfume and guess what, I absolutely adore this perfume. I even got a sample of the Kayali one and bought a full bottle of the KALY version and this one is still my favourite. Everything about this perfume just works right on me and makes me feel good everytime I smell it wafting off me. It’s creamy, nutty, soft, sweet and feminine. The balance of the ingredients is so good. I don’t smell like a dessert yet enticing and appealing in a classy way. I can smell the pistachio but it’s not overwhelming all the other ingredients. You can tell there are other things going on like the fruits and florals but I honestly can’t pick out one standout note because they play so well together. Is this unique? Yes it is because besides the other Pistachio fragrances I have mentioned, this can be worn on its own and you will turn heads. And works great layered with other scents too. Will I repurchase? Yes and Yes. Until another pistachio scent can knock this off, I will buy another bottle and allow it to be macerating and ready to go when this one is done. That’s how much I love it. Does it perform well? For the price I paid for it, it is surpassing my expectations and beating so many niche brands I own. It lasts for up to 6 hours on my skin, projects over an arms length and smells amazing on clothes for over 12 hours. I would advice you to take a plunge on it since it’s not expensive and even if you don’t love it, you can gift someone else who will 😁💛💜

Spot on dupe for Kayali’s Yum Pistachio Gelato 33 but with a way better performance. And costs a third of the Kayali’s price. I have them both but I prefer wearing Khair Pistachio because of the better performance. I love my scents to create a scent bubble around me and leave a nice scent trail and this does that for me. Yum Pistachio 33 not so much...This is a scent that was made for gourmand lovers. If you want a sweet, powdery pistachio scent mixed with marshmallows, whipped cream, cotton candy and hints of fruits and florals, this is spectacular. Both as fragrance and performance. It’s soft and creamy, vanilla heavy in the base and has that addictive smell that makes me want to wear it daily. I have half of the bottle left and it gathered me so many compliments this year. This and both Khamrah are some fantastic Middle Eastern perfumes that worth all the hype they get. I am not the biggest fan of Middle Eastern scents, but these are freaking amazing. I have to give credit where credit is due... In conclusion, I would repurchase Khair Pistachio when I run out of it, but won’t repurchase Yum Pistachio Gelato 33! The only thing that’s better with Kayali’s is the packaging and the bottle, but it’s not worth to pay three times more just for a pretty bottle. This lasts the entire day on me and has a beautiful sillage. Cannot recommend Khair Pistachio enough, it’s soo delicious !

Y’all ready for a funny story. I never wanted this fragrance. I am early in this lil fragrance journey. I like things now that I didn’t 6 months ago. Never thought I would wear a gourmand, I didn’t even know what that was. I didn’t understand wanting to smell of food. Don’t get me wrong, I still don’t wanna smell like a cake. I have learned that I love vanilla and creamy fragrances, but still not sure about milky stuff. The only reason I bought this was bc I found at Ross for $19.99. I told my sister I would find her a pistachio fragrance for her birthday, so I snatched it up. My sis lives 2 states over and we don’t get to see one another much. I tested when I got it & didn’t like at all, but hey, it was for her. When I got Felicity, after sitting a week, she completely changed. So I strip tested Pistachio, ummm...I have stolen my sister’s perfume. This changed so much, it is a monster now. It is of course nutty, sweet, so creamy with a freshness. The florals are there, but not punchy. I find it quite comforting, it’s cozy. I think I could get away with year around here bc we have mild winters. It last forever and will project loud for a bit, then you have a nice lil bubble. I prefer day wear, but also like to sleep in. I am a Khair fan, I have 3 & they are fantastic fragrances 9/10

First, if you go into this expecting the skim milk, cellulose gum, and high fructose corn syrup "frozen dairy dessert" with loads of artificial flavorings that is most Western-style pistachio ice cream brands on the grocery shelf or from the franchise ice cream parlors, then you will be sorely disappointed. This is VERY gourmand, and it is an ice cream fragrance, BUT it's NOT the Western-style version of pistachio ice cream. Instead, think of the full-fatted cream of an Indian-style kulfi, specifically Kesar Pista, the Indian version of pistachio ice cream. Kesar Pista is a nutty, creamy pistachio saffron cardamom rosewater icy confection that is both decadent and refreshing on the hottest of days. If you go into Khair Pistachio with that in mind, then you will fall in love, and your mouth will water constantly while wearing it. I consider this a spring and summer staple. I get loads of compliments. It lasts about the same amount of time as the original when worn lightly (2 sprays), but If you spray a bit heavier, it well outperforms the original.

I was so excited to order this one! I am currently trying to find my signature scent and I lean towards fruity, floral gourmand. I received it 2 weeks ago and I was so disappointed! The inital spray was very beautiful, but it quickly dried to a cloying, nutty, laundry detergent that I wanted to scrub off so bad, it almost made me sick. I I know these perfumes have to macerate so i put it in a dark corner for 2 weeks. I tried it again 3 days ago and wow!!! What a difference! It smells like a fresh and clean ice cream shop in the best way possible! The notes have blended together beautifully. And I am starting to fall in love. Pistachio, bergamot and pear come through the strongest on me for most of the day. The most pleasant surprise was when I smelled my shirt the next day i could still smell the base notes strong. It leaves the exact same lingering soft, floral, sandalwood as my Gold Couture which I love about that. The notes listed on Fragrantica do not list sandalwood but Amazon has it listed as a note. I absolutley love this one now.

I have both this and Kayali’s Yum Pistachio Gelato and if I had to choose between the two... This one wins. Both of them are very versatile and can be used for different occasions, but this hits best all around. I am super picky with gourmands but Paris Corner does it just right. It was very sweet but not overwhelming when I first sprayed it. As it dries a bit, all of those beautiful florals come out and bring a clean scent to the perfume. It took a long time after dry down to get the rest of the sweetness back in the marshmallow and whipped cream to pop out, but it’s well worth the wait. I don’t trust a lot of people who hype up a perfume this much, but after smelling it for myself, I think it’s different than what I expected but simultaneously everything that I wanted. Going out to the mall with friends in the morning? Going out on a late night date? Sweet but sexy, Paris Corner’s Khair Pistachio lives up to the hype. The best part? The florals cut through the sweetness to make a beautiful unisex scent that’s great for anybody.

I gave this one a week's worth of wearing, I'm a dude and quite a bit of a gourmand fiend. I had Affection but mom ended up stealing the bottle from me so I replaced it with this...happy accidents, because I ended up loving this fresher, more raspberry tart take on this otherwise syrupy marshmallowy vanilla sweet profile. It's quite nuclear on my skin and sticks to clothing really well, lasted days on my hoodies and for its price you can't really complain much at all...I also love it has a slightly ambery thing but it's VERY faint, like it's just there to boost longevity and not become a nuisance like it has in some other (especially middle eastern) fragrances. Pushes quite well for around 3 hours, then slowly tapers down to a bubble around you and after around 9 hours is mostly gone, this is definitely not a bad performer for how cheap the damn thing is haha. I haven't smelled Yum Pistachio but I don't think I care much to smell that if this is already good as it is, so it gets a solid 8.5/10.

Disclaimer: I have not smelled the Kayali one. I had Finery’s Pistachio Please and absolutely did not like it. I’ve smelled the Sand and Fog one and also did not like it. Additionally, I tend to not enjoy Middle Eastern fragrance dupes because of a general DNA I pick up in most of them. Ok, with all that said - I absolutely love this one! I found a 15mL at Marshall’s that someone had already opened, so I sprayed some in the back of my hand and off I went. I fully anticipated having to scrub 8t off in the bathroom, but no - that did not happen. It is so sweet... with none of that DNA I typically smell in most Middle Eastern scents. I had to go back and grab it before checking out. It’s a warm, rainy, August day and it’s great. I am truly looking forward to trying this in the cooler weather! Talk about a pleasant surprise!

This was NOT a love from first smell. I got it sometime in the late 2023 second hand since I really wanted to try it out and it was so hard to get. My first impression was pretty bad, it reminded me of a green apple toilet cleaning spray. I couldn't get this idea out of my mind but I paid for it quite a lot of money (60€) so decided to put it on the shelf for some time and forget about the unpleasant experience. After maybe 2 months to my surprise, I couldn't smell green apple anymore but rich, caramel, bourbon pistachios in a gelato form. Since then it became a staple of mine. One of my favorite perfume ever. It last forever and it is very cozy. It is perfect for both day and night time, casual and elegant setting. The scent lingers around you and it made me fall in love in gourmand scents. 10/10.

As I seem to be the only bloke who is writing a brief review , I absolutely love this. I use it primarily for myself but the side effect is being asked what I am wearing and compliments. Lovely pistachio and creamy fragrance. Not tried or tested yali yum but I have been buying a silly amount of Arabian frags. Dupes or not, I actually prefer them to what others tell me they are copying. So far I have been told nitro is a dupe house as is Paris corner/north stag but I have the frags the crowd tell me they copy but I get better sillage and projection plus they are really a fair bit different. I love this one. It’s not one a bloke would be expected to wear so I use reverse psychology This is a no brainer. I bought it blind and am very happy I did

this is a super nice pistachio-vanilla! it really is reminiscent of pistachio ice cream like the fragrance its based on. The initial dry down has an odd emphasis on the citrus notes, but after 15-20 minutes it matures into those light and airy gourmand notes i was expecting, still a bit of a shame it smells so odd for a while. For me, longevity is really great which is shocking since fragrances typically dont last long on me, i'd say i get 5-7 hours of wear from a couple sprays. Also, do avoid over spraying this one! Its actually super strong and projects a lot! I'd say its a very good dupe for those who want yum pistachio gelato without spending that kayali money!

I just bought this today. It does smell like pistachio ice cream. I sense the rum, the bergamot, cardamom, the peony/jazmin/geranium combo and the cream, marshmallow and tonka bean the most. I really like this scent because it's unique, as it smells fresh, clean and creamy at the same time so it's quite original. It's quite feminine without being overly floral or sweet as well. The aromas are quite balanced and there is no note that stands out over all. No, it does not smell like a floor cleaning product, so maybe it's a PH thing to some. It's a daytime scent and most suited for autumn-spring

@VickusDickusTheFourth 🤢🤮!!!!!! This is a fragrance forum and it isn’t appropriate to share your political views, especially when they are so incredibly insulting. I get you’d like to disenfranchise more than half the population, because as you say, we “complain for no reason and are insufferable” (note the irony) and you are entitled to your opinion, but this isn’t the place. As for Khair Pistachio, I adore this fragrance and I hope that’s all myself and the likes of you have in common. I also sincerely hope you respect your wife more than you do the rest of us women, though I doubt it.

Since I started using the Body Shop's Shea Butter perfume I found that I love a good nutty scent profile and have been on the lookout for anything in the same realm. I hadn't really bought into the Kayali craze, but took a chance on Paris Corner- I was influenced! For the price point I was willing to try it blind. So happy I did! It is deliciously sweet, fruity, creamy, nutty and playful and sexy...on me and to my nose. Only after I bought Pistachio Khair did I try the original. They are so close that I'm not tempted by the original.

Blind buy... This smells like expensive pastry or desert to me. The healthy kind. No regrets. I have no idea what the original smells like but this is cozy, innocent. Inviting? Not really. It's very neutered. Not nuclear like other Arabic perfumes. Performance is okay. May be cloying in hot and humid environments. Not bright enough. Late spring, early/late summer. I get the soapy comments but it's very slight to me. More like you smell clean and just out of the shower. The sweet fluffy notes absolutey take center stage.

Please guys do not judge this perfume out of the box. New smells just like fresh flowery soap. Let it set for few months then get back to it and enjoy. It's a sugar a creaminess overload. I hated it at first but now is my most comforting fragrance. I always spray it before bed and just makes me happy. Kinda hard to pull it off in the office etc because this one is too feminine but when I'm at home alone I'm bathing in it :) One minus tho, the first few seconds scratchiness will stay even after maceration

I'll add La Fede Aura Pista Dessert for the comparison. If you're looking for a gourmand pistachio, choose it. It has a nice candied citrus, the pear stands out nicely and it really is a pistachio scent of this style. But: It's not fresh, nor soapy (which I really admire here!), it's also not peanutty (like FA's Lucious) but my nose picks out a delicious toffee at the base. In fact, very similar to Surrati Caramel Toffee, which I suspect ( !? ) was the model for Swiss Arabian Vanilla Toffee.

It just arrived today. It was quite warm because of the heat wave, and to my surprise, it doesn't need to sit for months and is ready to use. I am shocked by how close it is to the original. Maybe it has a slightly fresher opening, but overall it's an excellent dupe, and I am happy I didn't buy the original, as this one lasts longer on my skin. I also plan to buy Felicity. If it's just as good, then I don't have to save money.

This is one of my fav fragrances! the opening is very creamy and gelatoey and whipped pistachioey. It smells very syrupy and sickly sweet when you smell it from the bottle. As I wear it, it turns to a warm, deeper pistachio. I can smell hazelnut and some of the notes listed as base notes. However I get no florals. Its somewhat more linear than what is stated on this site in my opinion, but still a really good fragance :)

Ok so I hated this at first, I think I sprayed too much on and it did remind me of aftershave and had to wash it off. I tried it again a week later, only 1 spray and loved it. Not sure if it's because I used less or it changed in that time but now I am obsessed. I also have a sample of Kayali yum pistachio and did a comparison and Khair pistachio is just as good if not better.

@VickusDickusTheFourth The fact remains, this all started, because you couldn’t keep it together long enough to write a simple fragrance review without COMPLAINING about women, who you say complain all the time. You see, you lost your argument from the jump, but you’re too far gone to realize it. Your lack of self awareness is stunning. Thanks for the laughs! 😂😅

I personally love this one! Very close to Kayali. I have both and I would say this one is sweeter. Nothing too overbearing on my skin. I do think I would get tired of it if worn everyday, but it will be nice in my rotation. I think this is an easy Spring/Summer scent. If you like a sweeter pistachio scent this a great buy. I found mine at Marshalls for $24.99.

I snagged this at my local Burlington as a blind buy solely trusting Tiktok reviews. I’ve now owned it for about 5-6 months. It is sooo creamy and sweet and nutty. Mouthwatering. IT IS A POWERHOUSE with longevity unmatched. I’ve thrown sweaters in the hamper and walked past the hamper days later with the creamy & gelato smell STILL filling the air. BUY IT.

To my nose, this smells almost identical to Yum Pistachio Gelato. I wouldn’t call it a straight-up gourmand—it has a creamy, ice cream-like quality, but never veers too dessert-like. There’s a soapiness that adds a clean, fresh touch, which I personally find pleasant, though it might not be for everyone. Definitely a ‘try before you buy’ kind of fragrance.

it smells exactly like pistachios. it’s very citrusy though. but i really don’t mind about how it’s very citrusy and strong at the start but when it dries down it’s exactly like pistachio & whipped cream with a hint of citrusy and sweetness to it which makes the perfume very unique and overall very refreshing. i would definitely recommend buying it.

This is a gorgeous scent. It is important to distinguish that it smells like Pistachio Gelato, not the nut. I love wearing this. it is fun. Such a creamy sensation. It is sweet with the gourmand notes but not too sweet. I get multiple compliments when I wear it, but my intention when I wear it, is me. Be careful if hungry it will make you hungrier.

This is gooooood!! (But I’m writing this after two months of letting it mature). At first it was “ok”, nothing special, so I didn’t make a review here because I was sure that it was going to develop fully after some time. And it did 😍 Now I can smell pretty much all the notes and the sillage is incredible. For the price it’s so worth the wait.

I like it now after a month it does smell better but it's still too fresh for my personal taste. I still don't know what is pistachio about it but it does have a lovely smell. Update: My sample has been sitting and just getting better and better, I finally get some nuttiness in this and a lot of creamy ice cream. Think its full bottle worthy!

I'd say so we take this out early that it's like 95% same with original (there is a difference in the dry down which I hate in the original this one is better imo) Fresh happy and yummy!!! I love these types of DNAs and can't go wrong wearing it in the morning!!! Performance overall super great especially compared to the og!!! 9/10 from me

I have it for over a year, before it had pepperry soapy opening (it even induced sneezing), that disappeared and now I only smell warm realistic vanilla pistachio, quite long lasting on me. Not sure about the florals, maybe some white and cashmerean notes, that makes it whole perfume, not just realistic gourmand.

I absolutely love this! it smells like creamy, sweet, pistachio cupcake (imo) I don't feel like this smells like ice cream. it's not airty-light cold scent. very powdery, sweet, creamy. more like cupcake. And I think it has some similarity with Britney's fantasy. I love it very much. I am gonna buy the back up.

Khair Pistachio, to me, is like a mix between Kayali's Yum Pistachio and Boujee Marshmallow, but lasts a little longer and at a much better price. I really do like it a lot but longevity and projection are a bit anemic. It needs to be reapplied often. It's nice to layer with Elie Saab Girl of Now, too.

Got a decant of this and Elysia Pista Sundae. Sprayed both of them on test strips along with Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato 33. All 3 smell the same at first, but I felt the Elysia started to become slightly more middle eastern smelling. It also had worse performance than the Khair.

Such a complex and polarizing gourmand. It opens on a soapy citrus shaving cream note and dries down into an icy nutty milky gelato. I’m befuddled and amazed at how much I like it. Not a safe blind buy by any means, but I’m completely obsessed with it. 5 stars. 🐛

Very beautiful pistachio scent. Spot on dupe for Kayali. I’ve had it 6+ months now and it’s has gotten better with time. At first it was more soapy, but now the creamy gelato is coming out. I adore this fragrance. It’s nice to own something a little different!

@VickusDickusTheFourth In your warped sense of logic, I’m sure you think it does. Btw, I noticed your fragrance review in which you wildly stated women should lose the right to vote, is gone. Did it get down voted or did you delete it yourself? 🥴😂

Mine smells very nutty and creamy. Pistachio ice cream. I let it macerate over time(forgot I had it). So it is not as cardamom scented while not being cloying. The fly in the ointment was the gold flaking off by the spray nozzle.

Very wearable even in Philippine weather, but just don't spray too much. 3-4 spritz will do and it will last you half a day. The perfume itself smells sweet but not overpowering. The pistachio and cream notes stay very long.

Got it as part of a discovery set, wasn’t looking forward to it as I am not a fan of nutty fragrances. I didnt really get any pistachio more of a floral fragrance so i like it. Its a safe blind buy non offensive scent

DEFINITELY A DUPE of Pistachio Yum 95% Similar creamy, boozy, nuttiness, but pistachio is not that strong Anyway with this price!! This is amazing ps. let the air in and give it some times (a week) it will do the job

This is my first pistachio scented perfume in my collection. On my skin, I smell some pistachio, with sweet cream, a touch of the floral and tonka beans. Smells fresh and clean making it a great scent for spring!

I like it. It's not a complicated fragrance, but it's a clean vanilla sweet scent, and, I like that. Today I layered it with Angham and all i can say is they layer great together - I have had good reviews.

I was SOOOO disappointed cause I saw all this delicious notes and in the end I smelled literally sweet soap. It was not what I expected but it's still a good fragrance, I actually quite like it a lot.

I think I like this perfume so much because it reminds me of my signature body spray in high school, Sweet on Paris by Bath & Body Works. Brings back memories!!!

Lovely sweet nutty fragrance. Very cosy for fall and winter time, but definitely suitable for hot weather evenings. Love a nutty scent that isn't too masculine.

Shockingly it lasts all freaking day!!!. I like pistachios so much I want to wear it. You get the full pistachio ice-cream scent profile from this frag.

If gourmands are your thing you will love this one.. I personally find Khair Pistachio a very nice universal and everyday scent.

This is a very sweet type beast mode perfume.Who don't like such perfumes should avoid it.

Love this! So sweet and nutty. It get more sweet the more it dries down.
