Trying Pistachio for the first time today and super love it. Way less gourmand than I had anticipated, which is a win for me. Per the enhancers, I always find that they are tricky and hard to balance. That being said, if you’re getting into DS&D, I highly recommend a spray or two of Leatherize underneath Debaser! Something about the leather accords beneath the bright fig and coconut is truly magic.
I got a sample of this last year when it was out and enjoyed it. When I went to go buy it and learned it was no longer selling. So I'm glad it's back and permanent part of their collection. I agree about that soapy part about Pistachio too but really quite gorgeous scent. Thanks for your great review.
Didn’t really understand why Laura Mercier discontinued Creme de pistache. It was such a popular fragrance and there’s still so much interest in it to come back. I’ll keep an eye on this one when I’m next in Liberty’s
Yes,isnt that frustrating.i wish calvin kleinwouldbringback truthforwomen.they kept the mens truth, but the other got discontinued😅, if i want it, i have togothru amazo😅
The excitement exuding from Sebastian in this video as opposed to the utter disappointment when he reviewed Angel Elixir. A true perfume coinaisseur! Thank you for your honesty and integrity. I was wondering if by any chance Pistachio would layer nicely with an orange-blossom based fragrance (inspiration being the Arabic sweets!)
Anything pistachio flavoured is amazing in my eyes. I look out for Italian pistachio chocolates when I got to TK maxx. They often sell them around Easter time 💚 yum
Happy that you made this video because just last week I received an email from D.S. & Durga letting me know about the “new” scent. The scents I like from D.S. & Durga are I Don’t Know What, Rose Atlantic, Radio Bombay, and Jazmin Yucatan. Interestingly enough but right after I watched your video, TH-cam suggested another video which was for Kayali’s newest scent. Drumroll, please…Yum Pistachio Gelato 33 Eau de Parfum Intense. Safe to say pistachio going to be the 2023 scent? Always enjoy your videos. 🙂🍨
Been wondering about this new version. I bought the first batch and it was mentholated chemical with like no nuttiness and I sold my bottle immediately. I heard this new one is better w actual pistachio and slightly gourmand. First one was not gourmand at all (which I liked, but just wanted pistachio!) thanks for review
I don't know if I'd go for Pistachio, but oh my goodness--I Don't Know What is one of the first full bottles I got, off your suggestion. I love it so much.
Oh too funny. Kayali is about to drop their new Yum Pistachio Gelato fragrance. Sebastián you gotta try their Vanilla Royale fragrance. It's super sexy! Super excited to hear about this one! Love pistachios 😋
@@ThePerfumeGuy super excited! Especially with your love for leather, Vanilla Royale has a strong leather to it in addition to yummy notes. I think you'd like it!
Sebastian, I also smelled it yesterday at Liberty in London and I fell madly in love with it right away! I’m Italian so this truly smells like authentic pistachio and pistachio spreads and Italian pistachio ice cream. I saw so many reviews of people who I think might not be too familiar with that genuine Italian nutty/salty pistachio flavour, which is not that sweet on its own, and who seem to not smell pistachio in it at all. Now I realise I’m quite lucky to be from the south of Italy and to truly know what to expect from a genuine pistachio scent, but my gosh, it’s such an incredible fragrance. This smells EXACTLY like real, fresh Italian spreads and creams and ice cream like you said. I grew up with that stuff. I can see people commenting recommending the Kayali one, I must say I was massively let down, truly smells nothing like pistachio to me, but again I know I have a familiarity with genuine pistachio that many outside of certain countries might not have so they associate pistachio to almost sickly sweet notes, but wonder what you’ll think of it. Question for you, I’m thinking of buying this DS&Durga now, do you think it would wear okay in spring summer? Do you think it will do okay worn in the heat? Love your review, I genuinely can’t stop thinking about this fragrance since yesterday.
They have pistachio cream at Rainbow Grocery! Check the baking section. Have you tried the new Steamed Rainbow fragrance? Just tried it at Ministry of Scent - it’s lovely!
I love DS and Durga! Haven't tried Pistachio yet, but it sounds like you would love their Bistro Waters perfume. It's amazing, basil and green pepper the boldest notes. Radio Bombay is an everyday wear for me, and a beautiful twist on some of the duller, soft sandalwoods out there. Also fwiw Amber Kiso is the strongest fragrance I have ever encountered, and I have worked in fragrance.
I like pistachio, it lives up to the name, but it does sit very close to the skin. I just picked up their newest Steamed Rainbow a few days ago. Hasn’t arrived yet. Not sure when I started blind buying every D S Durga release but here we are. I blame leatherize. My favourites are Amber Kiso and Cowboy Grass (layered with IDKW.
St vetyver is amazing. kind of like a hay field and I'm reminded of my discontinued. Love Bois blond by parfumerie generale. I order 50 of St V and immediately ordered a 100. I adore it.
Just tried Leatherize for the first time this week and I’m really loving it on its own. Very airy and smokey. Don’t even know if I’d need to use this as a primer, but I want to try it with Raw Gold tomorrow since they are both leathers.
The only DS and Durga I have is St Vetyver and I love it! It's a vetiver fragrance with a boozy tropical vibe. I would love to hear your thoughts on it!
Interested in hearing your comparison with kayali yum pistachio. I really like that one but the performance of the kayalis are just so weak. I’m going to get a decent from Scentbird and try it out
I blind bought this one shortly after it was released because I was intrigued and all of the notes are things I’m into. I have to say I really love it, but it seems to disappear so quickly on my skin. I don’t know if it’s the fragrance itself or just me, but all of the other fragrances I’ve tried from this brand seem to last forever, so I was very surprised with how fleeting Pistachio is on me. It’s delightful, but I think I’m going to go through it pretty quickly!
I recently discovered pistachio cream coffee and was just a few days ago thinking I’d love that note in a fragrance, adding this to my list thanks for the review!
Wow I really want to try this fragrance! I have a enhancer from D S & Durga called Cristal Pistal. It is kind of.a light white floral with a molecular punch. It adds airiness and a floral touch to other fragrances and I find that it shines in hot weather. Really nice!
This perfume sounds so good, now I wants to try it. You make it so good I only trust your review. Thank you for introducing us so many great perfumes, appreciating your videos. Thanks, Zenobia.
I was able to test this in store this past weekend, and I fell in love. Unfortunately, the store I was in had just gone through their stock, so I signed up to be notified when they restock. I can't wait to add this to my collection.
I tried the Pistachio as well and I liked it but I was not taken with it. Maybe I wanted more of a distinctive pistachio aroma and I felt it was just hinting at it. My favorite from their line is I think their original scent, Debasser. Its distinctive, powerful and elegant. I bought my husband the Cowboy Grass for the holidays. I loved it in the shop but I think now I sort of changed my mind as its pretty overpowering and a bit too animalic for me to wear. My hubby however layers it with other more feminine fragrances and the combo smells great on him, leaving a sort of personal almost sexual mark. I'd be very interested to know what you think of Cowboy Grass. I also really want to try thier new scent Steamed Rainbow. I'd love your 2 cents. =] Thanks for everything!
Like I said in your previous video, this Pistachio sounds yummy. Am definitely looking forward to trying it. I wonder how it will compare with Kayali's upcoming release, Yum Pistachio Gelato 33. I just saw a teaser on this one today. It includes notes of pistachio, whipped cream, and marshmallow. Yumminess. It drops on 21 March 2023.
OMG another Pistachio? Did you ever try the Laura Mercier Creme De Pistache? It was created by Calice Becker I just found I looked it up. It was quite yummy.
@@ThePerfumeGuy no, I'd love to try it though. Is it still in production? It would have to be a blind buy for me as Bloomingdales here in Dubai no longer carries the brand.
@@ThePerfumeGuy I hope I get my opportunity to smell it one day. There is a store here that has DS & Durga fragrances for sale but they don't have testers in their boutique and I refuse to blind buy.
I like the el cosmico of D.S. & Durga. But it does not contain patchouli. ; ) Vio Volta and Yucatan, however, I found terrible. D.S. Durga fragrances I find a bit synthetic. i am somewhat ambivalent about this brand. It would be great if you could do a review on Fray Ardens. They are from Marfa Texas.
Made me hungry 😂. I love pistachio as food (nuts, ice cream flavour, doughnut filling, spreads, perhaps everything). I will check this out the next time I’m in Liberty.
Hey, Sebastian. Can you please make a video of all similar perfumes to Portrait of a lady. Since it's one of your obsessions as well as mine I try to find the perfume I loved when I was a kid. I found a candle in LN in Sydney which smells exactly like that perfume, but I want this perfume.
Great video. Will be trying this scent soon. Fyi: if you want to find pistacchio cream in Sf you can find it on som Italian specialty stores and at Rainbow Groceries.

I’m so happy you reviewed this one.
It's quite yummy.
Yes, especially since Kayali is releasing a pistachio fragrance soon. Is pistachio replacing cherry as the note of the moment? I hope so!!
@@kekediva28 lol let’s see which note will get note of the year. Last year was definitely cherry 🍒.

Great review, Sebastian! Pistachio and Patchouli-sounds really interesting and delicious!
It's quite yum.

I’m a neophyte to niche fragrance houses. I just found you and I’m learning so much, thank you!
You are so welcome!
I actually want to try Steamed Rainbow. This sounds right up my alley though!
I’m very fond of “Debaser” from DS&Durga!!
The review I've been waiting on. BTW, Ambre Precieux is amazing!!!
Hi mate, thanks a lot for reviewing this one.have an amazing day. Cheers from Stockholm 🙌🏼
I’m a big pistachio fan and really enjoy this fragrance

Im addicted to Debaser, but Pistachio sounds interesting too 🤔
You've read my mind! I've been curious about this fragrance. Thank you!
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
Pistachio is the new cherry. Kayali also has a Pistachio scent out.

Can you compare and review it with Kayali Pistachio too and other pistachio scents. Thanks
Love pistachios, sounds fantastic, will get it! Thank you Sebastian!!!
Hope you enjoy
i think i’m gonna like this one. the notes remind me of kulfi minus the patchouli
Leatherize is great on its own…agreed., Soooo good. Lasts forever….. I couldn’t imagine boosting it with something else.

Ich bin soo gespannt auf den neuen Kayali. Der soll auch nach Pistazien riechen.
The whole house looks really incredible thank you for this really thorough review
Great review Sebastian. Cool that the patchouli has a bit of that Angel vibe! Still need to try Leatherize too.
Thank you and yes I get that Angel vibe which makes it even better.
Interested in hearing your comparison with kayali yum pistachio. I really like that one but the performance of the kayalis are just so weak. I’m going to get a decent from Scentbird and try it out

Hi Sebastian, you should make a comparison video with the new Yum Pistachio fragrance by Kayali to all pistachio fragrances you know.💚
Has that come out yet? I am unaware of it's debut yet. Hopefully will do that when I can get my nose on it! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy Not yet but when it is released 😊
I figured you'd love Pistachio because everyone said it was like 2% nuts and 98% patchouli
This perfume sounds so good, now I wants to try it. You make it so good I only trust your review. Thank you for introducing us so many great perfumes, appreciating your videos. Thanks, Zenobia.

Ooh yes. Keep us posted!!
Pistachio ice cream is delicious 💚
Make mine Haagen Dazs pistachio
Thanks for the discount code … 🥰

@MsNissan03 oh cool yeah it was a great gourmand line
Costco had pistachio creme over the holidays but I think it’s gone now. I find it at HomeGoods of all places, but not consistently.
Will you review the Kayali Pistachio when it comes out and compare it please?
Kayali has Yum Pastachio Gelato

Ordered a tiny sample bottle and it smells like baby powder at first . But it’s only been a few min since applying
Thank you my brother this is awesome
Any time
My partner LOVES leatherize and I just got a pistachio sample - both brilliant on their own, couldn’t imagine mixing them :/
Leatherize is an amazing leather. I agree it should just be a fragrance on it's own not a primer or enhancer! :)
it sounds really great!!!
Is this more of a skin scent? If not, is it quiet? If it is a louder scent, I’m hooked!
It's not a screamer to me!
It’s quiet

Can you please review Debaser by DS Durga ?
OOH I haven't smelled that one. Will have to try it.

Oh yes just heard it now from several of you mentioning it.
I like this but I hated Steamed Rainbow. Weird
We have it here in Finland amazing on bread
Oh cool. It's yummy!!
Sounds great 😊
Pistachio smells amazing but it didn’t last on me so I can’t justify buying a full size 😢
This scent is suoer yummi 🤤

Could u pls do a review on young dunes if u can. not sure if's out there already though. Thnx
Someone described this one as "cherry chapstick" and I'm not quite sure how to feel about that.
Sounds interesting
Question about I Don’t Know What. If I’m going to layer it with other perfume, should I spray it first or over the other perfume?
I would layer the stronger scent first as the base. The I Don't Know What is soft and light that should go on after the base is sprayed and dried. :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy thank you :)
Radio Bombay please
Can a woman pull this off? I got a sample of it and it really smells good, but seems to lead a little more masculine.
Of course they can, absolutely.
Yum.
i want this so bad
