Dark Fruit and Polished Wood
Pomegranate Noir is a study in tension — between the brightness of fruit and the mystery of smoke. It opens like a glass of deep red wine poured in candlelight: sweet, tart, and slightly bitter. The scent feels alive, its fruity core pulsing against a dark, resinous base that grounds it with poise and sophistication.
This is not the innocent pomegranate of summer, but its nocturnal twin — ripe to the point of danger. Pomegranate Noir balances juicy berries and ruby fruit facets with wood, patchouli, and incense, creating a fragrance both elegant and unsettlingly addictive.
🔬 Formula Highlights
- Iso E Super, Kephalis, and Cashmeran create a velvety wood-and-amber scaffold.
- Macrolide Supra Exaltolide and Habanolide smooth the composition with a clean musky veil.
- Patchouli, Guaiacwood, and Olibanum introduce a dry, resinous smokiness.
- Raspberry Ketone and Damascenone form the juicy red-fruit illusion.
- Subtle touches of Armoise, Davana, and Basil lend an aromatic counterpoint to the sweetness.
✨ The Result
Wine-dark fruit meets smoky resin.
Pomegranate Noir is both sensual and cerebral — a perfume that feels like silk over shadows,
where the sweetness of life brushes against the depth of night.
