Les Liquides Imaginaires Pistachio Cousin is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Jacek Laszczyński. Pistachio Cousin opens with Bergamot, Orange, Pistachio, and Incense, settles into a heart of Lemon, Petitgrain, and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Akigalawood, Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Les Liquides Imaginaires's Pistachio Cousin carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A truly divisive scent that promises pistachio but delivers a cereal-like punch. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with many lamenting the quick fade of its signature note. If you're after a niche, slightly quirky citrus-woody, this might be your jam - or your fruit loops.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its low sillage and fresh citrus character make it suitable for office wear and casual outings where subtlety is appreciated. The lack of strong projection and formal notes steer it away from formal events, with dates being a hit or miss depending on preference for quirky scents.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a fleeting, realistic pistachio character, quickly joined by a zesty burst of lemon and orange, underpinned by a resinous elemi. As it settles, the initial nuttiness fades, giving way to a heart of orange blossom and petitgrain, creating a fresh, slightly green tone. The base rounds out with earthy vetiver, warm sandalwood, and hints of patchouli, cypriol, and akigalawood, leaving a subtle, woody-citrus skin scent.
