Perfume Parlour Black Pomegranate is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005. Black Pomegranate 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. Perfume Parlour's Black Pomegranate carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Black Pomegranate nails the distinctive juicy-dark pomegranate-and-clove signature of Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir, wrapping the fruit in spicy incense and cedar. The original's smoky, clove-cigarette nuance reads cleaner and flatter here, but the unusual fruity-woody character comes through faithfully on a budget.

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.

About

Black Pomegranate opens on a burst of tart-juicy fruit - pomegranate front and centre, joined by raspberry, plum and rhubarb - exactly the unusual fruity top that makes Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir so recognisable. The heart darkens with clove, pink pepper and smoky olibanum laced through rose and jasmine, before a base of Virginia cedar, patchouli, amber and musk grounds it in dry woods. Where the original carries a divisive incense-and-clove-smoke complexity that some read as clove cigarettes, this Perfume Parlour version renders the spice cleaner and the smoke softer, pushing the bright fruit forward and thinning the resinous depth. Projection is moderate and longevity sits in the middle band. A bold, mysterious fruity-woody scent best worn in cooler months for evenings and date nights.
