Pistachio Biscotti

Bought on Amazon having seen kathleenlights (kathleensmells on tik tok) rave about pistachio and marzipan scents on her page. It sent me down a rabbit hole of deciding pistachio is definitely one of my favorite scents and wanting to try several out. I got this on Amazon for 45 bucks so definitely a cheapie! It smells VERY sweet but not synthetic to me. It’s so delicious. It hits that pistachio and biscuit notes so well as well as the amaretto. It’s like a younger/sweeter/easier daytime wear version of TF Lost Cherry. The dry down I think is beautiful like I said don’t get synthetic from it. It’s one of my favorites now. Just get it from Amazon, return if you don’t like it so you have nothing to lose!! It also lasts all throughout my work day on my clothes. I have Kayali pistachio and I’d say I prefer this one. But it is sweet. It doesn’t have many side-notes like kayali or TF does. Very straightforward gourmand. But airy enough that I will be wearing throughout the summer.

Almost overwhelmingly sweet on the drydown, but after a few minutes, it’s absolutely delicious. Definitely avoid if you don’t want anything too sweet or foodie. Smells just like almond extract with that touch of cherry or super intense marzipan cookies with cinnamon. I don’t get any floral notes, but I’m not complaining. Has pretty strong sillage and lasts about 5 hours, though a faint skin scent lasts the rest of the day. Just be aware that the bottle isn’t the best quailty—the first one I ordered leaked straight through the packaging AND the shipping box which the company thankfully replaced. The replacement didn’t leak through, but there was a tiny bit of leakage from the atomizer. In terms of perfumes listed as similar— ❌ Oakcha Kissed Glow: a summery pistachio and jasmine scent, nowhere near as sweet ❌ Zara Pistachio Infusion: smells more lile fresh apples than pistachio or cherry

I'm gonna be honest - I don't even really know what a pistachio nut is supposed to smell like. I've eaten them and they're delicious... but I've never really paid any attention to their scent I guess. This is a lovely gourmand, but if you think nutty/almondy scents are sickening, you will not enjoy this. This is pure amaretto, biscuity goodness. More almond-like than cherry to me. The biscuit note shines in the opening and it dries very sugary sweet on the skin. It reminds me a LOT of those sugar dusted Italian almond wedding cookies. So if you wanna smell like one... well. This is your girl. I'm really enjoying this. My first blind buy, too! 7.5/10

very yummy! on the initial spray its very strong on the cherry, with a little cinnamon and biscuit. but the dry down is more pistachio and biscuit heavy, reminiscent of ice cream. very nice mature gourmand! makes you smell like a sexy sensual sweet treat ! edit: while i love this scent a whole lot, i don't recommend it as a blind buy. i have a love hate relationship with how the notes come together, at times it smells odd. i can now say that it is extremely cherry and extremely cinnamon at first spray, which smells a bit medicinal and overpowering. then it melts into a beautiful spicy yet somehow creamy gourmand. though, it might just be me lol !!

Delicious, and lasts! Got the body spray as well, which has woeful packaging, but also boasts good longevity. Both products retain a legitimate Pistachio note through the drydown, lovely gourmand, not up to par with LAURA MERCIER Pistachio, but that is sadly discontinued and much pricier. I'm happy to have this instead of DS & DHURGA Pistachio, too, as I consider $200 too much to pay for this sort of unsophisticated but delightful gourmand style of perfume. Can also recommend Demeter Pistachio Ice Cream, which I believe predates Kayali.
