What Yum Pistachio Gelato | 33 smells like

Pistachio and hazelnut hit immediately — rich, slightly sweet, unmistakably nutty without tipping into syrup. Cardamom and bergamot keep the opening from going full dessert, adding a dry, spiced lift. In the heart, jasmine and peony soften things without dominating, while white peach and raspberry add a quiet fruitiness underneath. The dry-down is where it settles into its real identity: marshmallow and tonka bean pull warm and cozy, sandalwood and cedar ground it, cocoa darkens the edges. Projection is moderate, sillage skin-close by hour four — a personal fragrance rather than a room-filler. — Best in fall and winter; ideal for anyone who wants a dressed-up gourmand that reads sophisticated rather than candied.

What Vanilla 28 smells like

Opens with a dense, almost edible hit of caramel-laced vanilla that leans more dessert than perfume in the first hour — genuinely sweet without tipping into synthetic. The heart softens as sandalwood and benzoin pull the caramel back into something warmer and more resinous, giving the sweetness structural weight. By dry-down it's a skin-close amber-vanilla with a musky undertow — intimate, slightly smoky, long-lasting. Projection is moderate; sillage is soft but persistent for hours. — Best worn in cold weather, evening-leaning, for anyone who wants unapologetic sweetness grounded in warmth.
