The story behind the bottle.
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.
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.
