The Essence Vault Pomegranate and Noir - 142 is an Eau de Parfum. Pomegranate and Noir - 142 opens with Pink Pepper and Pomegranate, settles into a heart of Spicy, Clove, and Blackcurrant, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, and Guaiac Wood. The Essence Vault's Pomegranate and Noir - 142 carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

No. 142 captures Jo Malone's dark pomegranate-and-smoky-wood contrast well at the top, but the guaiac and patchouli base thins fast, leaving the fruity-spicy opening to carry a shorter, flatter version of the original's cologne-intense richness.

About

Modelled on Jo Malone London's Pomegranate Noir, No. 142 opens with juicy dark pomegranate lifted by pink pepper, a faithful echo of the original's tart, boozy first impression. The heart brings warming clove and blackcurrant that mirror the original's unconventional spice, though the transition feels a touch simpler and less nuanced. The base of guaiac wood and patchouli is where the gap widens most: Jo Malone's cologne-intense concentration gives Pomegranate Noir real smoky depth and hours of quiet sillage, while this dupe's woody base is softer and fades to a light musk sooner. Still, for the price it delivers a genuinely dark, sophisticated fruit-and-wood signature well suited to autumn evenings and anyone drawn to Pomegranate Noir's unconventional elegance without committing to the designer bottle.
