Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Inspired by Pomegranate Noir

Match Fragrances' interpretation of Jo Malone London's Pomegranate Noir (2005) - the Christine Nagel pomegranate-pink pepper-patchouli unisex composition that became Jo Malone's defining dark-fruity signature, here translated into a pomegranate-raspberry opening over Casablanca lily and a patchouli-guaiac close. Honest dupe-fidelity for evening unisex wear at a fraction of the designer-niche price.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Italian Summer Solid Perfume Balm

Tart fruit and pink pepper warmed by guaiac wood, patchouli and amber - the most extroverted composition in the range. Pomegranate-plum-rhubarb gives a juicy, slightly sour opening; the spice-and-wood middle keeps it from becoming a cocktail balm.

Sophisticated fruity-warm unisex fits evening, date, formal. Office and casual work for fans of the warm style.

Italian Summer Solid Perfume Balm

Seasons

Best For:

Summer Autumn

Also Works:

Spring

The warm-spice middle and amber-patchouli drydown sit in late-summer-evening and early-autumn territory; the fruit keeps it summery, the spice carries it into autumn. Too warm for spring's lightest weeks and not deep enough for full winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Reads relaxed and confident - works for casual weekend wear, evening dinners and warm-weather dates. Slightly too distinctive and warm for a default office choice; the spice-and-wood profile suits social rather than corporate settings.
