In my view DS & Durga Pistachio is a unique perfume that I appreciate wearing. Kayali Yum Pistachio is a pleasant perfume that smells generic. I much rather spend my money on the DS & Durga one.
I was waiting for this review..It sounds like Yum Pistachio Gelato 33 performs more like an Eau de Toilette than an Eau de Parfum Intense. I'm not a huge fan of citrusy fragrances but if the parfum has some sweetness I would go for it. I'm so looking forward to watching the haul video on Sunday.🎉🎉
I'm glad you got the proper review you needed love. ❤🥰😘I sometimes listen to people review perfumes inaccurately either to please brands and get on the PR list or unintentionally out of ignorance and it kills me. So, I can't wait to review that perfume properly and do it justice and give people what they deserve - the truth. ❤It definitely doesn't smell like an intense fragrance for sure. It has the performance of a EDT or an EDP. I'm not a huge fan of the overly citrusy opening but the citruses calm down toward the middle of the perfume and definitely by dry down.😊It's definitely sweet for sure. 😊I have an epic haul on Sunday! 🥰❤
@@syvonnie15 I can smell the sweetness, but it's not overly sweet. 😊 The dry down smells sweeter because the citruses are not dominating the perfume by the dry down. 😊
Omg, thank you very much for reviewing both of them! I’ve been waiting for a side by side review of both as they came out almost the same time. And of course, because I love anything pistachio 😊😊😊. I ordered the Kayali in the travel size but I’m going to get the DS&DURGA in the full bottle for sure. 🥰🥰🥰you did give us a real honest and proper review, thanks again!
Thank you Marie darling! ❤🥰😘I knew that a side by side review would be beneficial to you all. I always do 100% honest reviews even if it means not getting on PR lists of some brands. 😊
@@wyattearpswoman838 That's what I did in this video. I compared DS Durga fragrance to the Kayali one. Sounds like you didn't actually watch the video until the end. Let me know your thoughts after watching the full video. 😊Thank you for sharing your thoughts! ❤
It wasn't what I expected either but I really do love the scent. It's very bright and sugary but still light enough for summer. I will need a bigger bottle though since I have to reapply. I have a dent already as well. I don't get anything soapy like some are, it smells super gourmand to me. Enjoyed hearing your thoughts ❤
It definitely wasn't what I expected but it's still a good soft gourmand for spring and summer. It's definitely bright with those citruses in the opening. It's a bit overwhelming. I wish the citruses weren't so strong in the opening. It's definitely sweet and soft gourmand. I put a dent into it over-spraying to give it a chance to perform at its best because some of my other Kayali ones don't perform the best. 😊I don't get any soapiness. I don't know who's getting sopy.
Hi Debra darling! 🤗Welcome to my channel! 🥰❤The DS & Durga one is definitely a cozy cold weather perfume. It has a strong patchouli note in the base and you can smell it on the. dry down.😊
Hey Ceylon - that was a good point about the note being pistachio gelato ! And not pistachio itself ! (By the way it IS an intense ;) check your packaging it’s in white on the box;)
Hi Navadine darling! 🤗 Welcome to my channel! 🥰❤ It is a gelato perfume than a pistachio perfume. Yes, I did put it on the screen in text that it is an Eau de Parfum Intense.😊You probably missed it.😊Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts love! ❤🥰😘
I brought pistachio yum and been testing it ...I love it! It smells to me like chickfila's frosted creamy lemonade with lime and nuts on top. It's perfect for spring and summer, and I think it has long wear it's unique to my collection for sure
DS&Durga IS nutty. I like the Kayali but it's a gentle gourmand. I think it is overpriced for what it is. When I wore the Durga (small sample) people were asking me what I was wearing.
Hi Angela darling! ❤DS&Durga is very nutty! It's definitely a pistachio perfume for sure. The Kayali one is definitely a soft gourmand and not really a pistachio or nutty perfume. I can't wait to wear the DS&Durga one out and see if I get compliments.😊Thank you for sharing your thoughts love! ❤🥰😘
Thank you. Thank you. I haven't even watched this, but I'm glad you did it. I have a sample of DS&Durga and sprayed Kayali yesterday. Very very different. I love pistachio and I'm on the fence with both.
You are most welcome Angela darling! 🥰❤They are definitely very different perfumes. I'm not sure if I can really recommend either one of them. Neither of them made a lasting impression on me or my husband.
DS & Durga one is great for fall and winter. ❤It's definitely a pistachio scent, whereas the Kayali is not really a pistachio scent but a soft gourmand with a lactonic accrod and citrus in the opening. 😊
I got mine i like it it reminds me of Valentino donna acqua or bbw almond blossom. I think the discord is Mona is not good at describing her perfumes. 😂 I get marketing but she really hypes people expectations up.
Hi Andrea darling! 🤗 Welcome to my channel! 🥰❤ Yes, the Kayali one is not bad if you didn't expect a pistachio perfume. It's not a pistachio scent but rather a soft gourmand with gelato. Mona does know how to hype up her fragrances and they do it all mostly on social media without spending much. They do things like take pieces from a video of influencers that said anything positive about their perfumes and push it out without asking the creator or paying them anything. Also, they don't send PR to anyone who has said anything negative about their perfumes. Pay attention and you will notice. If you are a reviewer who shares 100% honest opinions, you won't be on their PR list.
Hi Claire darling! ❤It's not what people expected it to be. It's a gelato perfume, not necessarily a pistachio perfume. Trying it out with modified expectations is smart. 😊
They are marketing this Kayali fragrance as an intense version. If you look at the diamond on the front of the box, it says intense. This fragrance is definitely not an intense perfume. It smells really nice but it does not last well in my opinion.
Hi darling! 🤗I know what you mean. The citrus opening is overwhelming. I wish the the bergamot note wasn't so overpowering in the opening. It's definitely a huge let down to those who expected a creamy pistachio scent.😩But it has some redeeming qualities. You can smell the lactonic vibes from the pistachio gelato note and it becomes a soft gourmand towards the dry down, but it gets closer to the skin by then for sure.
Hi Theresa love! ❤ You should try it at Sephora before buying. It's only worth it if you really love the scent profile. I'm not sure if it's worth the price.
Hi Melena darling! 🤗Welcome to my channel! 🥰❤I know what you mean. It's a very soft gourmand and it's not the most projecting perfume. It doesn't last longer than 4-5 hours.
Thank you Anika love! 🥰❤Yes, that's how we here in the U.S. pronounce - "Pistashio," but I was once told that the "t" in the word should be pronounced and that's the correct way to pronounce it.😊 When you do pronounce the "t" in it, it comes out with a "ch" not "sh." It's actually pronounced "Pistachio" like the Greek word it comes from. In Italy it's pronounced "Pistacchio" and that's the correct way to say it. But in English, it's pronounced "Pistashio," as you suggested because it's a mix between French and Italian. It's the pronunciation the English language has adopted. I try to pronounced words the way they are pronounced in the original language. 😊
It’s spelled pistacchio in Italian and pronounced as /pis’takːjo/. But ofcourse there’s the Americanized version that is more popular today, and spelled with only one “c” in English (which probably may have started the confusion and mispronunciation in earlier times).
@@CeylonCleo Btw, I agree with most points in your review. I have the Yum Pistachio and have levelled my expectations. It’s indeed more gelato (not ice cream - another huge difference IMO) than the nuttiness expected from pistachio.
@@gen_o You are right Gen. In Italian, it's a "k" sound and in French, it's a "sha" sound. The origin of the word is Greece. The "correct" way to say it would be "Pis'ta-k-jo." But a European once told me that it should be pronounced, "Pis-tat-chio." Seems there's a lot of confusion as to how it should be pronounced. The English of course bastardized it as adopted a mix pronunciation between French and Italian - Pis-ta-shio." That lead to a lot of confusion too.
@@gen_o Gen, I said, "Ice cream" because some people might not know exactly what Gelato is. I'm talking to a wide audience in my videos and I need to make sure everyone gets what I'm saying. There might be people who have never had it. Gelato is not as creamy as ice cream. I remember having my first "real" Gelato in Rome when I was young.

Best review of the Kayali fragrance I’ve seen! You are right on point.
Thank you Carol darling! ❤🥰😘I try to do my best to give you all the most accurate review. 😊
I didn’t like the opening scent but the dry down smelled an airy marshmallow soft scent

I really don’t think it’s sweet, maybe a lil bit at the dry down but at the point, you can barely smell it.

Thanks for your review! The Kayali sounds lovely and not foodie!
Hi Raquel darling! 🤗Yes, it's a gourmand that doesn't smell too gourmand. The citruses in the opening keep it pretty fresh.

I just receive this perfume! I legit only smell a cheap soapy bergamot 😬 very disappointed

Same here I dont like it!!!im gone return
I haven’t tried it yet, I don’t own a lot of Kayali fragrances I have vanilla 28 & diamond pink pepper. And I don’t have any DS fragrances either!
Hi Theresa love! ❤ You should try it at Sephora before buying. It's only worth it if you really love the scent profile. I'm not sure if it's worth the price.
@@CeylonCleo yeah that’s what I’m going to do!
Pistachio Gelato the desert still tastes and smells a lot like pistachio though...so why even call it that if it doesn't smell like pistachio gelato.
This is a pass. The green juice turns gray as it matures?
Hi Colleen darling! 🤗 Which perfume's juice turns gray as it matures? DS & Durga one or Kayali? How long have you had it? They are both new releases.
Hi, I am so sad, kayali yum is so light, I cant smell it properly.. The dry down is really yummy, but its very light.
Hi Melena darling! 🤗Welcome to my channel! 🥰❤I know what you mean. It's a very soft gourmand and it's not the most projecting perfume. It doesn't last longer than 4-5 hours.

Thank you so much for a great, on point review! Just wanted to point out that the “ch” in Pistachio is pronounced as “sh.” ☺️❤️❤️
