A moody, spicy fruit-wood scent that stands out for its mysterious, sensual character. Subtle but distinct, it rewards those who want depth and intrigue without overwhelming sweetness or projection.

Defiant Noir approximates Jo Malone's cult Pomegranate Noir, one of the darkest, spiciest colognes in the brand's usually light range. It gets the peppery, resinous mood right but drops the tart pomegranate-raspberry fruit and smoky incense that give the original its distinctive, slightly gothic edge.
