Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir Cologne is one of the brand’s most mysterious and sensual fragrances. It blends rich fruits with deep woods and spicy notes — a bold departure from the brand’s typically light and airy style.

Fragrance Notes:
Top Notes:
Pomegranate
Tart, juicy, and slightly sweet. It gives the opening a fruity richness that feels dark and elegant — not overly sugary.
Raspberry & Plum
These add depth to the fruitiness, making it rounder and more velvety. The berry notes enhance the "noir" feel — lush and ripe.
Heart Notes:
Pink Pepper
Spicy and slightly rosy, this gives the fragrance a warm, sparkling bite that contrasts beautifully with the fruit.
Clove
Rich and aromatic, the clove introduces a spicy, almost exotic twist — adding to the fragrance's moody, autumnal vibe.
Olibanum (Frankincense)
Resinous and slightly smoky. It deepens the heart with a mystical, slightly church-like richness.
Base Notes:
Guaiac Wood & Patchouli
Woody, earthy, and subtly smoky. These notes form a grounding, sensual base that lingers with a dry warmth.
Overall Impression:
Pomegranate Noir is a dark, juicy, and spicy-woody scent — bold, romantic, and mysterious. It’s unisex, though it leans a bit richer and more dramatic than many Jo Malone scents. Perfect for evening wear or colder seasons, with a more seductive and elegant character.
It’s a favorite for those who want something fruit-forward but not sweet, with a moody, sophisticated edge.
