D.S. & Durga's Pistachio has sparked diverse reactions in the fragrance community, earning praise for its unique interpretation of the namesake nut while challenging traditional gourmand expectations. This isn't your typical sweet dessert scent - instead, it offers a sophisticated blend of dry nuttiness, aromatic cardamom, and earthy patchouli. The community particularly appreciates its intimate nature and layering potential, though some note its relatively modest performance. While not everyone picks up distinct pistachio, most celebrate its cozy, spicy-nutty character that feels more like a subtle skin scent than a bold gourmand statement. Perfect for fall and winter evenings, it's a fragrance that whispers rather than shouts, making it ideal for those who prefer their scents close and personal.
