What wearers say
“I really wanted to like this! I first smelled on a test strip at Ulta and liked it. I finally got a sample (from Huda Beauty so it's legit) and I'm so disappointed. It smells just like I remember, a lovely cold blast of Pistachio Gelato, but on my skin it doesn't last at all! I get 30 minutes of ok projection, then it becomes a skin scent for only about 2 hours. After that it completely disappears. For the high price point Kayali has I expected much better. In fact I get better performance out of BBW Pistachio Glaze and it's a body spray.”
“I am a huge fan of YSL manifesto and manifesto elixir. When I smelled yum pistachio it reminded me of discontinued YSL manifesto , specifically elixir. It is not that sweet as you can imagine by seeing notes , it is a solid fragrance for woman who wants to smell sexy, serious and delicious at the same time. Regarding longevity and sillage I’d say it really depends on your skin and body temp, as for me it projects very well leaving a sillage in entire room. Lasts at least 6 hours.Very glad I found this fragrance because I’ve been missing manifesto elixir for years!”
“I absolutely love pistachio but all I got from this was a disappointingly sweet, fizzy, artificially-scented, juvenile, cheap, pistachio soda that wasn't worth my adult time because I never, EVER want to smell like that. A juvenile, green, fizzy-soda fragrance with an adult price tag? No, thank you.”

The original has better longevity and projection, particularly in the heart notes where Kayali's version maintains better clarity. Fragrance World's version is slightly sweeter and more linear, lacking some of the sophisticated spice-nut balance of the designer fragrance.

Lattafa's version typically shows lighter projection and reduced longevity compared to the original, with a slightly sweeter, less spiced character overall. The base is less nuanced, leaning more heavily into vanilla-tonka sweetness rather than balancing it with woody undertones.
