Pistachio
Pistachio opens with a brief flutter of cardamom before settling into its nutty heart—almond milk sweetness cut by something faintly green and resinous, like the papery skin of a fresh pistachio.

By the editors · 2 min readPistachio opens with a brief flutter of cardamom before settling into its nutty heart—almond milk sweetness cut by something faintly green and resinous, like the papery skin of a fresh pistachio. The effect is gourmand without veering into dessert territory, restrained enough to wear as a skin scent rather than a statement.
As it dries down, vanilla and patchouli emerge to anchor the softer notes. The patchouli here is clean and woody, not the heavy incense variety, adding just enough earthiness to keep the composition from floating away. The vanilla stays quiet, rounding edges rather than dominating.
This is for those who want something comforting but unconventional—familiar enough to feel approachable, odd enough to avoid the usual vanilla-almond paths. It sits close, wears casually, and suggests someone who appreciates the smell of a well-stocked pantry as much as a traditional perfume counter.
