Launched in 1965 by Santa Maria Novella, Melograno (Pomegranate) is a chypre fragrance that weaves together fresh and earthy notes into an intriguing composition. The opening of bergamot and bitter orange brings a bright freshness, while the heart of pomegranate, ylang-ylang, and rose adds layers of spiciness and floral warmth. As it settles, oakmoss, patchouli, and musk create a grounding base that feels both earthy and luxurious.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance in light layers to allow its complexity to unfold. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so a second pass can help capture their freshness. It pairs well with cooler weather when the musky base notes feel more comforting.

The story behind the bottle.
The vibrant richness of a pomegranate orchard at midday, where the sun's warmth enhances the spiciness and sweetness of the fruit, mingled with the grounding scent of earth.
