The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2005, Pomegranate Noir by Jo Malone London was crafted by perfumer Beverley Bayne to blend the freshness of pomegranate with warm, spicy undertones. The fragrance opens with a burst of bright pomegranate and rhubarb, giving way to a heart of rich plum and raspberry. These fruits are complemented by notes of clove and pink pepper, adding a subtle heat that contrasts beautifully with the sweetness. The base notes of guaiac wood, olibanum, opoponax, rose, jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, cedar, patchouli, amber, and musk create a complex, enveloping warmth.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points — the fragrance’s fruity notes are fleeting but the spicy warmth lingers. It's perfect for layering under a jacket or cardigan, allowing its complex base to unfold throughout the day.
