Jo Malone London Pomegranate Noir is a Cologne launched in 2005, created by Beverley Bayne. Pomegranate Noir opens with Rhubarb, Watermelon, Plum, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Guaiac Wood, Rose, Jasmine, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Patchouli. Jo Malone London's Pomegranate Noir carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Winter

With its spicy warmth and deep fruity notes, Pomegranate Noir shines in fall and spring, echoing crisp air and rich foliage. Its moderate richness and spice can be too heavy for peak summer but bring comfort in winter's chill.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

The subtle projection and sensual fruity-spicy character make it ideal for dates and casual occasions, while its elegance can work in an office with a light hand. It is too moody and spicy for sport and less fitting for ultra-formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Pomegranate Noir Cologne opens with a burst of tart, juicy pomegranate, deepened by dark plum and tart rhubarb. The heart pulses with spicy clove and pink pepper, adding heat against the lush fruit, while rose and smoky guaiac wood lend complexity. As it dries down, creamy cedar, patchouli, and a gentle amber-musk base create an enigmatic, quietly seductive aura. The blend is both crisp and warm, conjuring the feel of crimson fruit and spice-laden wood in dusky autumn air.
