Review of Yum Pistachio Gelato | 33 Eau de Parfum by Sarah Chabal

Sweet, fluffy, vanilla, nutty, woody, powdery, cool, warm spicy, floral, feminine, sensual, seductive, sexy, flirty, playful, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delicate, delightful, uplifting, cheerful, yummy, alluring, tempting, addictive, inviting, cozy, comforting, gourmand, unique On me this opens with sweet, creamy, and cool pistachio ice cream, decadent hazelnut, and boozy sweet rum with soft whispers of bright bergamot and warm spicy cardamom. As it starts drying down the syrupy pear, juicy peach, sweet raspberry, soft Lily-of-the-valley, velvety peony, and sweet geranium intertwine with the top notes adding a soft fruity floral scent. The dry down is absolutely gorgeous with fluffy marshmallows, airy whipped cream, sugary sweet cotton candy, rich tonka bean, creamy sandalwood, and woody cedar. The notes that are the most prominent on me are the pistachio ice cream, hazelnut, sweet rum, geranium, whipped cream, marshmallows, cotton candy, tonka bean, and sandalwood. This is so delightfully yummy! A really unique and beautiful scent! It really does come across as something cool, and carries that facet throughout the whole wear. It’s gourmand, but also boozy, woody, and somewhat floral. It has a sweet and fluffy dry down with woody accords, but it doesn’t grow into something overly deep. It comes across as cool pistachio ice cream swirled with sugary cotton candy and fluffy marshmallows topped with airy whipped cream. It’s fitting with the softer base, as with a name like Pistachio Gelato you would expect something sweet, fluffy, and delicious. In the deep dry down this reads as a sugary cotton candy and cool nutty pistachio ice cream. I have several other pistachio fragrances including Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, SDJ 62, BBW Pistachio Glaze, and VS Pistachio Créme. I can’t say that any of them are that overly similar to this. If you’re looking for something that’s straight almond-pistachio like then I’d suggest trying BBW Pistachio Glaze. I have to mention how much this changed and grew on me. Whenever I first got this it came across as somewhat soapy and powdery, definitely not what I was expecting. I wasn’t overly drawn to it, but I kept coming back to it because I was re hopeful. Eventually, that soapy scent completely disappeared, and this grew into a really sweet and yummy gourmand scent. I’m not sure if it’s because it macerated, my nose changed, or some of both, but I’m absolutely delighted it happened because it’s a definite love now. I even got a 2nd bottle of it, and it immediately started off as the yummy goodness that I’ve described here. I’ve become a huge fan of Kayali fragrances, and they’re now my favorite brand. This was my first one followed by Vanilla 28 and Utopia Vanilla Coco. I now have a total of 18 different Kayali fragrances in my collection. My top 5 are Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Vanilla 28, The Wedding Silk Santal, Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, and Yum Pistachio Gelato. For reference, some of my other favorites (besides the Kayali ones I’ve already mentioned) include PDM Oriana, GdT Celeste, Kilian LDBS, Princess, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Burberry Goddess, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Black Opium Glitter, D&G The One Desire, Valentino DBIR Ivory, JPG Classique Pin Up, JPG Classique (OG lace corset bottle), Guerlain Mon Guerlain, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, Phlur Heavy Cream, SDJ Summer é Amor, 62, 39, VS Vanilla Lace (OG), BBW Beach Nights, Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, Fireside Flurries I always get excellent performance from Kayali fragrances, and YPG is no exception. The longevity is impressive, it lasts throughout the entire day on me. The projection is good, it radiates out a few feet from me. I only need a few sprays to get this effect, so I do consider this to be a good value. This is one of the few fragrances that I actually enjoy layering sometimes as well as wearing alone. Some of my favorite combos include… ✨YPG + Yum Boujee Marshmallow = A sweet and fluffy marshmallow with strawberry, whipped cream, cotton Candy, pistachio ice cream, hazelnut, and sweet rum! ✨YPG + Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar = A more rich vanilla and caramel leaning fluffy marshmallow, airy whipped cream, sugary cotton Candy, pistachio ice cream, hazelnut with boozy sweet rum! ✨YPG + Vanilla 28 = a sweet, rich, and boozy vanilla with marshmallow, whipped cream, cotton candy, pistachio ice cream, hazelnut, and boozy rum! ✨YPG + Oriana = a sweet and fluffy fruity marshmallow with a cool nutty pistachio ice cream swirled with boozy sweet rum, cotton Candy, and whipped cream! ✨YPG + Kilian Princess = a fresh, green, and fresh spicy sweet and fluffy marshmallow with a cool, nutty pistachio ice cream swirled with boozy sweet rum, sugary cotton candy, and airy whipped cream! ✨YPG + Skylar Boardwalk Delight = a sweet & fluffy cotton candy swirled with nutty pistachio ice cream, boozy sweet rum, fluffy marshmallows, airy whipped cream, and soft marine accords! ✨YPG + Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows = a sweet and fluffy fruity marshmallow with a cool, nutty pistachio ice cream swirled with boozy sweet rum, sugary cotton candy and airy whipped cream! ✨YPG + SDJ 62 = a sweet and cool nutty pistachio ice cream and fluffy marshmallow swirled with vanilla, caramel, boozy sweet rum, cotton candy, and airy whipped cream!
