About

Pistachio cream is a gourmand accord centred on the nutty smell of pistachio, softened by a creamy, lactonic body. It reads as edible and smooth rather than sharply green or roasted.

Scent Profile

Pistachio cream smells of soft nut over a buttery, milky body, with a light sweetness. A fresh green edge from the pistachio keeps it from cloying. Compared with plain pistachio, it is rounder and more like a dessert. It suggests pistachio gelato, whipped cream or nut spread.

Materials That Can Make This Note

Pistachio Cream is usually an accord, a blend of several materials, such as:

2-ethyl-4-methylthiazole coffee · nutty · cocoa

Smell words come from published sources.

A given perfume with this note may use this material, or something else.

Origin

Pistachio cream is not a raw material. No pistachio essential oil or absolute is made for perfumery, so the note is always rebuilt. Perfumers use nutty, almond-like and green materials for the pistachio, and lactones for the creamy, milky body. Perfumes built on it add milk, cream, vanilla and musk notes underneath.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers place pistachio cream in gourmand compositions, in the heart or base. Its soft body supports vanilla, almond, caramel, tonka, cacao and pastry notes. It also works in floral-gourmand perfumes, under neroli or rose, where it adds a smooth, edible effect.
