Latte PistachioGourmand Milky Perfume Extract

Latte Pistachio by New Notes is a gourmand, spicy, milky unisex perfume extract. It does what almost no gourmand dares: it starts with salt.

Genderless perfumery, all in extract

New Notes is an Italian house published by HIC BEAUTY, in San Giuliano Milanese, on the outskirts of Milan. It describes itself as “a new generation of perfume extracts that transcends the codes of perfumery and breaks down role and gender boundaries,” and it follows through on this to the letter: its entire catalog consists of perfume extracts, without a single eau de parfum. The house does not credit any perfumer on its bottles.

An opening of pistachio, lemon, and salty notes

Pistachio arrives right away, green and rich, brightened by lemon and orange. And above all, salty notes accompany it—just as you salt a pistachio before serving it. This detail changes everything: the perfume starts with a nut, not a pastry.

A heart of milk, cardamom, and coriander

Milk establishes the milky quality promised by the name, rounded and enveloping. Cardamom and coriander add a spicy freshness that prevents the cream from becoming heavy. It is an oriental dessert heart rather than a French dessert.

A base of sandalwood, amber, and musk

Only three materials to close. Sandalwood extends the milky quality with its creamy facet, amber brings warmth, and musk provides a skin-like effect. As an extract, this base lasts a long time and stays close to the body.

The house's approach

Most gourmands with pistachio treat it as cream or ice cream, and open with sugar. Latte Pistachio starts with salty notes, just as pistachio itself is eaten—roasted and salted. It is this initial contrast that gives the perfume its clarity and prevents it from resembling others. It belongs to the Contemporary Blend, the house's main collection.

For whom, for what occasions?

For those who love milky gourmands but are tired of sweet vanillas. It is a mid-season fragrance, wearable day or night, with good longevity and a moderate sillage. New Notes Latte Pistachio is for those who want a salty pistachio rather than a dessert.
