Our Verdict

Both Affection and Yum Pistachio aim for a creamy pistachio gourmand, but their execution differs. Affection leans into a sharper, soapier opening, while Yum Pistachio presents a smoother, albeit potentially divisive, sweetness. The choice hinges on tolerance for soapy notes; Affection may require patience to mellow, while Yum Pistachio's divisive nature necessitates a test. Price isn't a major differentiator, making personal preference the deciding factor. If you dislike soapy scents, Yum Pistachio is the safer bet, assuming it works with your skin chemistry.

Our Verdict - Yum Pistachio EDP
Pistachio and hazelnut with a splash of rum, soft florals, then a marshmallow, cacao and tonka base: a cold, creamy gelato of a gourmand. Playful and sweet, and one to test on skin first.
Statement
Our Verdict - Affection EDP
This one's a mixed bag. For some, it's creamy pistachio ice cream in a bottle - comforting, delicious, and a dead ringer for more expensive alternatives. For others, it's pure soap, baby wipes, or even floor cleaner. Proceed with caution and definitely let it macerate if you take the plunge.

Season and Occasion Fit

Yum Pistachio

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring Autumn Winter

A cold, creamy pistachio with bright florals reads well in spring and summer. The sweet, warm base lets it go on through autumn and winter too.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Creamy and sweet, it is a better fit for casual days and dates than for formal wear or the office. It stays close, so it will not overpower, and it is not for exercise.

Affection

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

A year-round scent - easy to wear in any season.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate projection and sweet, creamy profile make it excellent for relaxed or intimate settings, especially in cooler weather. It's too sweet and potentially divisive for formal events, and for the office, you'd want to go easy on the sprays.
