What wearers say
“If you are looking for a yum pistachio dupe, here you go. It is a sharp pistachio, not creamy. The pistachio note will be with you throughout the day. The vanilla spun sugar vibes are at the forefront even on the dry down. I don't think I get anything woody in the dry down. Overall, it's a pleasing fragrance. Don't get this if you are looking for a Brazilian bum bum cream dupe. It does not have that creamy tropical pistachio vibe.”
“This is a lovely fragrance for winter but I'm in two minds about it in getting it. Yummy fragrance but reminds me of YSL Manifesto and it's flanker YSL Manifesto Elixir which I already have.If you want a yummy,ong lasting perfume and will get compliments, this will be right of your alley.”
“I absolutely love this! It is as good as the higher priced pistachio perfumes I have purchased and at a ridiculously affordable price. It smells like pistachios throughout wearing, with subtle almond and vanilla,is creamy and smooth. It is a great gourmand and perfect oriental vanilla. I sense no bitterness or synthetic elements at all. I have let it sit for a few months and that has probably improved it by allowing it to settle and macerate. It is not cloying or too overpowering at all on my skin. The fact that I can spray it liberally and even over-spray is a bonus.”
