6 chic pistachio perfumes to wear if you want a modern scent for spring 2024

A selection of pistachio perfumes from Sol de Janeiro, Tom Ford and Hermès in a muted green template.

When spring and summer roll around, we often find ourselves gravitating towards fresher and sweeter notes but while vanilla and citrus fragrances were once the go-to, pistachio perfumes have been tipped as this season's must-have...

If you're a lover of gourmand scents - the sort that smell almost good enough to eat - you likely already own every vanilla-centric long-lasting perfume on the market or, at the very least, are well acquainted with them. This year though, it seems there's a new, decadent note in town, which might just offer another much-needed facet to your collection of best perfumes for women

Pistachio, with its nutty and edible sweetness, is indeed the oh-so-appealing aroma looking to dethrone vanilla and for those looking to give this delectable scent a whirl, here are six sunny picks...

6 pistachio perfumes for lovers of gourmand blends

Like milk perfumes, pistachio fragrances are often classed as gourmand, meaning they're likely to be a big hit with vanilla perfume fans and are perfect for both spring and summer.

And while the idea of a pistachio perfume might seem strange - or be an entirely new concept for you - the note was also very popular in 2023 and takes centre stage in several fragrances by iconic brands including Tom Ford, Sol De Janeiro and Marc Jacobs...

What does pistachio smell like?

Pistachio can fall into both the green and gourmand category. It's aromatic and well, nutty but with it so often lending its flavour (and distinctive green hue) to ice cream and various other sweet treats, naturally, it's become something of a star component in many rich and creamy scents. Like almond, it's rich and earthy - and is the perfect option for those looking to stray from more traditional vanilla fragrances.

You can often find it paired with delicate florals or other almost edible notes, like coconut and caramel - hence why it's such a popular pick in the warmer seasons.

Who should buy pistachio fragrances?

As mentioned, if you're a lover of vanilla perfumes, a pistachio scent is likely to be right up your alley - as they are often even accompanying notes - but is slightly more nuanced. Its nuttiness adds an interesting depth to both floral and gourmand fragrances that is just irresistible.

Equally, if you're a fan of milk and creamy aromas - like coconut - a pistachio number will also be a welcome addition to your summertime lineup. Floral fragrance lovers may also find a pistachio perfume that strikes all the right notes, as again they are often paired with light floral accords.
