Pomegranate Noir
Pomegranate Noir by Jo Malone is an unisex eau de cologne from 2005 in the premium price tier. It opens with pomegranate, raspberry, plum and pink pepper, moves into magnolia and black pepper and dries down to patchouli, guaiac wood and frankincense. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Pomegranate Tart, juicy and jewel-red. Sharper than most berries.
- Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.
- Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Magnolia Lemony white floral. Bright and clean rather than heavy.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
