The Most Irresistible Perfumes Share This One Note

Don’t let the name fool you—Kayali’s Yum Pistachio Gelato is our pick for a playful yet unconventional gourmand fragrance. A cornucopia of whipped cream, cotton candy, pistachio, hazelnut, and rich rum, it’s decidedly sweet, a little nutty, and a touch spicy all at once.

Key notes: Pistachio gelato, cotton candy, whipped cream

Size: 3.4 fl. oz.

An ELLE editor says: “For so long, I’ve watched my mom eat pistachios like candy. Intrigued, I tasted them and still couldn’t understand her obsession. So when the pistachio craze hit perfume, I ignored it for as long as I could until this Kayali juice landed on my desk from a PR mailer. Nothing like how it tastes, pistachio in this perfume shows up creamier and warmer than expected, with a sugary edge that softens any bolder scents I pair it with.”—Nerisha Penrose, beauty commerce editor
