Admittedly I have only purchased this because I love pistachios but I do not regret it :) It does not smell like pistachios at all, it has a subtle floral fragrance but some may think differently of it. I put it into my damp here before I blow dry it, just the last 1/3 of my hair. It makes my hair unbelievably soft, silky and shiny! I will repurchase this product once I run out because I am very happy with it.
