Praline & Pistachio

I've always disliked that first spray of fragrance that has my nose scrunched up like "ew ew ew alcerherl" - but this is sweet and nutty right out of the bottle. It's nice and rich, perfect for my weak ass nose. Strangely enough the pistachio and the praline are not the stars of this scent, but the notes that are support them fairly well. The coconut really amps up the nuttiness and the caramel + marshmallow amp up the praline with both airiness and syrupy goodness. I'm not really catching the cappuccino note, but I see how it fits into the composition. I've worn this with the Midnight Amber Glow body cream from B&BW, which I swear has a cappuccino note, to add some depth to the composition. I also think it could benefit with just a pinch of salt - both the pistachio and caramel would stand out better with it. I've also layered it with Miim.miic's impression of Kayali's Yum Pistactio Gelato, No 57, for that bit of tonka bean and sandalwood to ground it all. I'd say it lasts around 3 hours on me with a single spray until it's undetectable and I'm just deeply inhaling the skin of my wrist like an idiot. Note that I have a shit nose, so someone with the nose of a hound might say differently. And... goodness gracious, who the hell is selling this for thrice what they paid for it? I don't know who's falling for it - unless the first ever formulation blew my bottle out of the park (the label is slightly different from the pictures I'm seeing on the listings), I wouldn't waste my money. While it's a great gourmand for $15; it'd be best not to push it unless you've scoured every TJ Maxx/Marshall's in the area.

To my nose, and in support of what others are saying, it is identical to Miim Miic 62 Coconut Gourmands which is an impression of Sol de Janeiro 39. That is straight popcorn to me, and I don’t get any coconut. When I think of what coconut smells like I think of traditional sunscreen or an Almond Joy. Praline & Pistachio doesn’t give me coconut, honey, sandalwood, or marshmallow but mainly buttery sugared popcorn. I am glad I read the reviews so that I could cross Caramel Pop by Vivamor (pricey), Sweet Tooth by Sabrina Carpenter (I don’t live near a Walmart) and SDJ ‘71 (inflated pricing by Sephora) off my list for now. While it is nutty and sweet, I mostly get buttered popcorn. It is whimsical to smell like popcorn. It is quirky. It is funny to hear people ask, “Did you bake something?” And if you like snacking, it’s the olfactory equivalent of a head massage. So soothing. To boost the longevity, the best items I have to layer it with are BBW Whipped Coconut Milkshake body cream (more toasty than lactonic to me, so it brings out the savory side of P&P) and Native Sugar Cookie deodorant (another buttery gourmand). I hope SDJ ‘71 will come in a body butter soon so I can anchor P&P with it.

Praline & Pistachio by Tru and Caramel Pop by Vivamor parfumes A.K.A. Navitus are 1000% percent identical as well as Sol De Janeiro 71. I have ALL 3 of these and I can't tell the difference hardly. I bought Praline & Pistachio from my local TJ Maxx for $14.99 on sale and I sprayed myself with it and it immediately 😅 took my breath away with the Caramel buttery Popcorn sweetness. Then that's when it dawn on me......... I have this in my collection that is 1000% identical and I put it away in my closet in a cool place along with my Sol De Janeiro 71. I couldn't put the bottle down, so I bought it and brought it home to compare all 3 😁 and they are indeed identical. I can't tell the difference and the dry-down is the same. If you couldn't get your hands on Caramel Pop by Vivamor parfumes A.K.A Navitus, then head to your local TJ Maxx and find this gem. I think I paid $140 For Caramel Pop and Praline & Pistachio cost me $14.99 so if I had to choose 😅 with the cost, I would DEFINITELY get Tru Praline & Pistachio, and Sol De Janeiro 71 which was $20.

Coming from someone who isn’t much of a gourmand girly i have to say this is fye! When i Initially purchased it , I thought It smelled nice but just okay. I let it sit on my shelf with infrequent use for a while (i bought it last spring 2024) but when i pulled this out in the cold November this hit another beat for me. It’s so cozy and warm it smells like marshmallows ,caramel and pistachios . Maybe i got lucky but this lasts all day for me. I like it for work for the first three hours it definitely projects but becomes a cozy skin scent that is very much noticeable even after my 8 hour shift. This is way better than the Pistachio Kayali because that one is more soapy while this smells fresh baked. I can definitely say this is a hit for me because usually i swap out my perfumes so i have a new olfactory experience at work or whatever everyday buttt i’ve had a firm grasp on this bottle and i’ve been using this for weeks straight , i’ll be sad when it’s gone. This scent is good not good because it’s cheap ! iykyk❤️

so when I got this, there were no reviews anywhere for this . As a pastry chef, when I saw it at Marshalls or whatever I picked it up just to smell and thought to myself it’s gonna smell like artificial coffee syrup. WRONG! It smells deliciously, nutty, and like praline creamy and good yes it doesn’t have a lot of longevity but God i love to mix it with other things. I spray it all over my linen sheets and my pillow and my bath towels in my bathroom and I douse myself in it regularly as well. This thing is a cheap delight. I’m seeing it now online for $60! I saw a couple of other flavors of this but not another bottle of it. We’ll see. I’ll never pay $50 for a bottle this stuff, but it smells in my opinion better than any other dupe of Kayali Yum pistachio. I’ll go one better. it smells better than that too! I have all the others, but let me tell you I always add a little bit of this to it for some bang!

lol okay, i got it! it smells sooo good! 🫧 this smells very similar to Cheriosa 71 and as matter a of fact i will be pairing the two. this smells like it but without white chocolate. it has praline and honey and a nutty note unlike cheriosa 71. 🫧 i get more of a beachy smell. Cheriosa 71 is a warmm smell and Praline and Pistachio is more coconut-y. it definitely lasts long too. 🫧 the difference between the two is Cheriosa 71 is WAYYY more warm and Praline and Pistachio is the cooler, nuttier version of it.. a lil sour imo it smells nice and I will be getting it again! and it's in tjmaxx, by the way, pls don't pay more than $17 for this because some people are selling it for $50 for some reason lol

Canadian folks - I can't believe I actually found this one and Vanilla Potion in Montreal. Guys, if we got them here in Quebec, you'll be able to find them at Winners/Marshalls anywhere else in Canada. It took me a while to find the Praline and Pistachio one (Marshalls), but you just have to stalk the stores. This is similar to SDJ 71, but creamier on the drydown. Definitely the same vibe but not identical. It's worth having both imo. For lack of better words, it smells very " fluffy vanilla, cookie, marshmallow", and no lactonic notes. It's rare to find a true true gourmand in perfume form without it smelling like a candle! Absolute love.

Marshalls or TJ Maxx is selling this delicious fall gourmand. You'll get 1-2 hours with a soft warm sugar cookie out of the oven (crystal sugar sprinkles on top) and a bowl of warm nutty caramel for apple dipping later. Approach this as a body mist but with the joy of dodging the plasticky alcohol leach smell from the cheap synthetic body spray bottles. If you need an escape from your gourmands during the day, this will be fun for a bit and drift away. If you find yourself repeatedly saddened by the longevity, Queens Caramel or the maple version of Snif Hot Cakes are a bump up in price but a bump up in experience, too. .

Most compare to Sol de Janeiro 71, but it’s definitely not a dupe to me. It actually reminds me a lot more of the discontinued SDJ 39 because of the apparent praline and coconut. 71 is more smokey, deeper, and less sweet. But Praline & Pistachio doesn’t have the same macadamia note and to me it’s pretty accurately praline, pistachio, coconut. Almost smells nuttier and sweeter than 71. I actually like it more than 71. I/my bf can always smell P&P, whereas we search for 71 scent soon after spraying. 71 also goes quite smokey on me but P&P stays sweet. Definitely recommend for the price, got it for around $16 at TjMaxx!

Bought this at a goodwill, and this is one of my longest lasting perfumes. I applied this at 7 in the morning when to bed at 10, and could still smell it on my wrist. I'm not sure what skin prep people are doing to get such little wear out of it, but all I did was lotion and put almond oil on before applying. It is such a rich, sweet, deliciously addicting nutty scent. It smells almost creamy, but not quite milky, with rich warm notes that make you feel like you're floating in a sea of desserts. The dry down is less nutty, but more decadent and almost velvety. This truly is a treat from start to finish.

Two things I love : cheap and gourmand! This scent is so mouthwatering! Smells like fresh baked pistachio cookies! I see the comparison with SDJ 71 but that one is more white chocolate forward and this one is fluffier because of the marshmallow. Great alternative though and good to layer if you own both! I found mine for $12 at tj maxx and bought two bottles. Projection is really good at first but within 4 hours it becomes a close to skin bubble. I can still smell it on myself but at that point others probably can’t unless they hugged me. Pretty impressive for a $12 perfume!

Mmm it’s like walking into a bakery. The notes are warm chocolate chip cookies with buttered popcorn. It’s so beautiful, yummy & girly. Personally I don’t think it smells like pistachio. I found it at Marshall’s for $18. Very potent when you first spray it — everyone around you will get a sugar rush. It does fade so you need to reapply in a couple of hours, although you could still smell it very faintly melting onto your skin. I suggest this perfume if you have a sweet tooth for cake batter/vanilla frosting. 🧁✨🍿⭐️🍪

I am in love with this fragrance. I found it for $18 at TJ Maxx and bought 2 of them because it smells so delicious. I smell like a yummy baked good when I wear it, I smell like you could just take a bite outta me, fresh out of the oven. Sweet but not cloying, just right. The only thing I'm sad about is the longevity is weak for me, only lasting a couple hours. And the sillage is pretty intimate, but that's okay. I'm having a gourmand phase, so this is just perfect, exactly what I want to smell like.

I love it best part is that I always find it in either Marshalls or T.J. Maxx. It reminds me of one of my favorite discontinued fragrances, Coco Cabana Sol de Janeiro. The only difference is that this one has pistachio and sandalwood, and 62 has Top Notes Coconut Caramel Middle Notes Marshmallow Praline Base Notes Vanilla Honey Coffee But regarless, I will take this one for now til I find a better dupe one that lasts a bit more, as well this one has to be reapplied on my skin every 2 hours or so.

I adore this scent so much! It’s nutty, gorgeous coconut scent, very gourmand and delicious but not saccharine. It’s also a bargain price for the amount but it has to be because this stuff has NO longevity - anytime I wear it I spray it again every 2 hours or less sometimes, so I often pair it with a base of something vanilla or creamy. Update: I layered this with NEST Balinese Cocnut oil and love the combo! Still doesn’t have the full longevity I would want but it is such a scrumptious combo!

I'm loving this. It is indeed very similar to Cheirosa 71, but it costs only $ 17 at TJ Maxx, vs $ 30 for the Sol de Janeiro. The smell is amazing, to my nose it's not sharp, it doesn't smell cheap or artificial. Of course the fragrance profile is juvenile and sweet, on the same vein as almost all recent launches from all brands. But sometimes I crave some sweets, so this is great for that moments. Longevity is not great but I'm waiting for it to macerate. Great value for money.

THIS is the pistachio fragrance I’ve been looking for. Very creamy, buttery, and sweet. Smells very decadent and just like sugar cookies. I'm so tired of other brands adding unnecessary floral/musk notes to "balance it out" when all I want is a true, pure, gourmand scent. This was love at first spray, and a breath of fresh air compared to other pistachio scents. The sillage is decent and it lasts a while. For the price you can’t beat it, this does not disappoint.

This smells pretty similar to SDJ 71 scent but better imo. It starts off very nutty, almost toasted but not too much then develops into this warm creamy caramel cookie scent without being overwhelming. The nutty scent stays but more so in the background to help not make this too sweet, it is sweet dont get me wrong but that nutty-ness helps a lot! I dont get the honey & latte macchiato. It lasts for a good 5-6 hours and does project about arms length.

This smells really good! One of my new favorites. Layers well with BBW In the Stars, even though on paper they don’t really share notes oddly. This is definitely nutty but they have similar sweetnesses that play well together. Compliment getter. Also has similar qualities to the ME cheapie Ana Abiyedh Rouge, which is a 540 dupe. Again, not identical and this is nuttier BUT on dry down, harmonize nicely. Boosts performance and longevity.

this is exactly what i expected sdj 71 to smell like, but 71 was a bit too salty for me, and i couldn’t find it in myself to drop $30+ on a body mist. BUT praline and pistachio was only $16.99 at marshall’s and i love it so much! its so caramel heavy and nutty. i didn’t notice the coconut note until i saw it on here — it’s very faint and goes away after the dry down, but its still pleasant. just overall a super warm and sweet fragrance.

I love this perfume so much as a base. I could easily layer it with other perfumes which is perfect because this perfume isn't that strong. This perfume doesn't have longevity or sillage but that's why it'll let other fragrances you layer on top of it so nicely! I'm definitely going to buy a full bottle of this perfume soon. This smells so incredible I kept smelling my wrist throughout the day.

i love love love the notes! smells more like caramel and marshmallows to me. regarding sillage, i was within arms length/in my friend's personal bubble and he said "someone smells like butterscotch!" and regarding longevity, it unfortunately lasts 1-2 hours on me. for a low-budget perfume, it's nice though. i would recommend layering it with something else for better sillage and longevity.

I LOVE this fragrance. Snagged it by chance at discount store, I'll stop and sniff anything Praline or Pistachio, and was blown away! Nutty, not very sweet, toasted. Also alluring, unusually direct, statement scent. It's lasted on me 6+. Not beastly strong but definitely there and delightful! I like the toasty nuttiness, the barely sweet, the depth. Great buy, great value.

On me this opens with butterscotch and quickly turns to fresh popcorn and dries down to a lactonic vanilla, sweet but not too sweet. I'm eating from a 3 lbs bag of pistachios and I wouldn't say it smell like real pistachio, more like a generic natural nuttiness, I'd still say it leans more popcorn than nuts. Praline? No. It's $17 at TJ Maxx and I couldn't resist.

This one isn’t marriage material - but I’m enjoying all the cheap delicious fun for right now, bc he’s not staying around for long. This is my go-to quick grab for after shower or packing in an overnight bag. It’ll eventually be downgraded to a delicious room or linen spray. $16 🤷🏻♀️. Love it. If you like SDJ or a basic vanilla pick it up.

OBSESSED with this scent. It is utterly divine, however, it doesn't even last a literal minute on me. It immediately disappears which is so disappointing because it's the most delicious, moreish scent. I'm not sure SDJ 71 is a dupe so if anyone knows an actual dupe, let me know because I need this to last at least an hour.

Identical to cheirosa 71 pretty much. It's a lot stronger and long lasting due to it being an edp. It's rare to find edps that are true gourmands. This is just nuts, caramel, marshmallow, coconut. All yummy treats, and you will want to eat the perfume. Just found a new release of this bottle for 14.99 at tjmaxx

Had to come back and leave another comment because my husband has an opinion now. He knows nothing about perfume. But he sayed it smells like "food or something" and complimented it several times - mind you he is boring and unimpressed usually SO when he compliments something he REALLY likes it 🤣🥰

I love wearing this before bed or on a chilly fall day. It’s the most realistic ‘nutty cookie’ scent I’ve ever smelled. There’s a cozy warmth to it that makes it feel so comforting and delicious, perfect for gourmand lovers who want to smell like a true cookie or fresh bakery treat.

this smells so realistic and for $13 i couldn’t go wrong... it’s rich and deep but longevity and projection isn’t all that impressive. i find myself either needing to overspray or just reapplying often. it’s a wonderful layering fragrance though

I got this at the store. I’m trying to smell like a pistachio caramel cappuccino and I honestly think this fits the best for the vibe. I didn’t even know that it had coffee sent in it. I was so surprised, but like I gave off that vibe in a way

I bought this for 19.99 CAD. I fell in love with the scent immediately, it smells very caramel like, vanilla, the pistachio smell is more akin to pistachio ice cream for me. I bought this since I like the sol de janerio 62, it’s similar.

Really delicious scent. Randomly found this at a Marshall's and fell in love. Surprisingly powerful for the cost. I've tried a few pistachio fragrances recently and this was the only one I've actually liked!

I got it at my local TJ Maxx is a beautiful gourmand skin scent, it doesn't stay more than an hour but I don't mind respraying since it cost me $17 bucks,. Cheaper than Cheirosa 71 with better quality

Soooooo yummy. Initially had an almost savory biscuit quality in the beginning that gradually fades into a sweet vanilla coconut cookie. Reminds me a bit of fresh cream warm cashmere.

I LOVE this. Now it does remind me a greate deal of Cheirosa '71 Sol de Janeiro except it smells less like buttered popcorn. Glad I spotted it at TJ Max It's heavenly

Amazing! smells exactly like SDJ 71 and is perfect for layering with it as well. Comes off very popcorn-y at first but dries down a bit more musky after a while

It's cheap and delicious! The initial whiff is a really yummy biscoff-cookie esque vibe, almost like cookie butter. I love it & will be using this bottle up <3

It's so freaking good but it last for like 30 minutes :( ; still love it and it matches really well with sol de janeiro 71

bought to layer with sol de janeiro 71. gorgeous gourmand pistachio scent but rlly doesn't last long or project at all

So delicious! This smells edible! It doesn't last very long but it's cheap so I can overspray all I want Guilt free.

probably my favorite gourmand scent! smells like a pie to me, especially when layered with lush's chelsea morning.

If you're looking for a perfume of Sol De Janeiro's Cheirosa '71, this is it! This one is so good!

This truly is almost identical to Cheirosa ‘71 and was $17 at my tidal TJ Maxx!

Completely agree with the ppl saying it lasts 2 minutes. Love the smell though

Yummy. Definitely smells like a SdJ product. Got it at TJMAXX for a steal.

A creamier, nuttier version of Sweet Tooth by Sabrina Carpenter. Yummy!

This smells really good but it only lasts like 30 mins on my skin 😭

i want it so badly! apparently it's at tjmaxx for like $17

smells great but doesn’t even last 10 minutes on me
