Savor Earthy Nutty Indulgence: D.S. & Durga Pistachio Sample
Dive into playful gourmand fun with D.S. & Durga Pistachio, the addictive nutty fragrance launched in 2022 by the Brooklyn-based artisanal house (originally a limited Studio Juice in 2021, now permanent). Crafted by perfumer David Seth Moltz (D.S.), this whimsical creation has no grand backstory—just pure evocation of the fun, elegant, and beloved pistachio nut (especially as a dessert flavor), blending hyper-realistic nuttiness with creamy sweetness, warm spice, and earthy depth for an unabashedly sweet yet sophisticated treat.
Pistachio opens with a warm, woody burst of pistachio and cardamom—delivering rich, green-nutty vibrancy with a savory-spicy edge that feels like fresh-cracked shells. The heart deepens with more pistachio and roasted almond—adding creamy, bready nuttiness and subtle roasted warmth. It dries down to an enveloping base of even more pistachio, patchouli, and vanilla crème—powdery, woody, and sweetly indulgent with lingering gourmand coziness.
Fragrance Notes – A Nutty Gourmand Journey
- Top Notes: Pistachio, Cardamom Fresh, green pistachio and warm spice burst with savory elegance.

- Base Notes: Pistachio, Patchouli, Vanilla Crème Earthy woods and sweet vanilla linger with addictive tenacity.
Frequently hailed as a standout grown-up gourmand and cult favorite, Pistachio offers earthy, non-cloying nutty charm with a unique dark-green twist—often described as real pistachio nuts (not just ice cream), with subtle patchouli tea, mint chocolate chip vibes, or burnt marshmallow undertones. Performance is moderate to good: 6–10+ hours longevity (stronger on clothes, impressive for a gourmand; many report solid staying power), moderate projection (stronger in opening hours), and intimate-to-moderate sillage—evolving from vibrant nutty-spicy opening to a clean, powdery-vanilla dry-down. Fragrance communities praise its realistic pistachio note, compliment-pulling coziness (perfect for fall/winter), and fun unisex vibe, though some note patchouli dominance or find it polarizing if expecting ultra-sweet gelato. Often compared to a refined, premium take on nutty gourmands like Le Labo Tonka 25, yet with D.S. & Durga's signature natural quality and depth.
