Pistachio CO2 (SELECT)
Joseph Colbourne has this to say “This yellow-orange coloured pistachio CO2 is of moderate viscosity and really does have the aroma of roasted pistachio nutmeats. Salty, nutty, slightly sweet, and just tiny bit smoky, this is a very unusual and delectable material with good projection and longevity. In the dry down, the saltiness and roasted quality dissipates and there is more of a clean, woody, nutty aroma. The milder base is reminiscent of not only pistachios but brazil nuts and macadamia nuts. Pistachio CO2 would surely be a pleasure to experiment with: it could be blended with vetiver, nagarmotha, agarwood, other dry woods, green notes, florals, even marine accords.”

Absolutely what you’d expect! Smells just like crushed pistachios with a pinch of salt. I love that you can actually smell a salt aspect. It also has a feeling reminiscent of peanut butter and could possibly work in trying to create a peanut or peanut butter accord. There is also a toasty aroma. It is mouthwatering. I would love to pair this with honey and pastry notes to create a baklava fragrance. It is such a fun addition to the palette but it can be taken away from gourmand as well. I have paired it with a saltwater/oceanic accord and it works surprisingly well in that aspect as well. If you’re looking for a realistic nut note, don’t miss this.
