What wearers say
“Luscious is a nutty, creamy, musky fragrance with citrusy top notes. It’s an interesting scent that’s growing on me more and more. It has moderate longevity, leans feminine but is easily unisex, and the price is good. It has a similar DNA to Kayali’s pistachio scent but I prefer Luscious because it’s richer and deeper (and lasts better). The packaging is next level - outshines a lot of high-end, pricey brands by light years.”
“As a pistachio fragrance lover, this ticks all boxes. I feel this take on the Kayali one to be much better. The pistachio smells toasted with a light smell of roast peanut. There is freshness on the opening but has a comforting, creamy gourmand dry down. Lasts about 5 hours on me.”
“The opening lets this down for me, it's so sharp and bergamotty and completely at odds with the gorgeous nutty dry down.The dry down is delicious though and I find the peanut note so charming here.Edit: oh hey, it's been a few days and the bergamot isn't so prominent anymore.”
