Pistachio Creme

A nutty, softly spiced gourmand: toasted pistachio, cardamom and tangy crème fraîche over sandalwood. Hard to find, little independent buzz yet.

Pistachio Creme candle by Voluspa

Pistachio Crème can be a hard Voluspa to get hold of: Voluspa's own site has listed its only big format, an 18 oz jar at $38 with roughly 100 hours of burn, as sold out, though Anthropologie has carried it in a smaller size too. The notes read like a pastry case, toasted pistachio and a little cardamom over tangy crème fraîche, settled on sandalwood, so expect something creamier and less sugary than a vanilla bomb.

Independent reviews are scarce. On TikTok, one fan tells people to run, not walk, for it alongside Gingerbread Chalet, and Voluspa slotted it into a Mother's Day gift guide, but there isn't enough from people burning it at home to judge throw. Across the line, Voluspa owners find the single-wick jars lovely up close and happiest in a bedroom or a small living room.
