Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

On paper, Pistachio is a strong bet if you want Pistachio for less.

The Essence Vault sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Pistachio's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $32 per 100ml it costs 83% less than Pistachio — the cheapest of 3 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Essence Vault publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on pistachio and almond, turns to orchid and heliotrope, and settles into vanilla, musk and sandalwood. That is the brief Pistachio is working from.

Top

  • pistachio
  • almond

Heart

  • orchid
  • heliotrope

Base

  • vanilla
  • musk
  • sandalwood
Toasted pistachio in vanilla cream, dessert without the sugar crash.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 4 twins of D.S. & Durga Pistachio we can price, Pistachio is number 2 on price per 100ml.

  1. 01 The Essence Vault The Essence Vault $32/100ml
  2. 02 The Essence Vault Pistachio $32/100ml
  3. 03 Perfume Parlour Pistachio Ice Cream $89/100ml
