EDC · 2005 · womens

Jo Malone's 2005 release Pomegranate Noir represents a departure from the house's typical fresh, unisex aesthetic, leaning instead into deeper, more sensual territory while maintaining the brand's minimalist approach.

The fragrance opens with a tart burst of red fruits -- plum, pomegranate, raspberry, and rhubarb create an immediately juicy impression, anchored by woody notes that prevent it from feeling overly sweet. The heart shifts toward a spiced floral arrangement, with clove and pink pepper warming the jasmine and rose, while guaiac wood and olibanum add resinous depth. The base settles into a soft amber and musk foundation, rounded out by patchouli and cedar, creating a woody-oriental DNA that's both creamy and slightly austere.

This works best on someone who appreciates fruity fragrances with actual substance and complexity. It's a solid layering option for fall and winter, though the EDC concentration means it won't project aggressively. If you gravitate toward scents with spiced florals and woody warmth, you'll find kinship with The Mystic, The Homesteader, and The Reverie.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Plum
Plum
Dark, slightly tart, and warm, plum has a wine-like depth that makes it more serious than cherry or peach. It adds a fruity darkness to oriental fragrances, with a slightly fermented quality that bridges fruit and leather families. Used to add drama and depth to floral-oriental compositions.
Pomegranate
Pomegranate
Bright, slightly tart, and jewel-red, pomegranate in perfumery adds a vivid, clean fruitiness with a slightly astringent quality that keeps it from being simply sweet. It reads as simultaneously fresh and exotic. Often used in contemporary fragrances where its Middle Eastern associations add a modern luxuriousness.
Raspberry
Raspberry
Bright, tart, and slightly jammy, raspberry adds a vivid fruity pop that is harder and more energetic than peach or apricot. It's a signature note of modern fruity florals and adds an accessible sweetness that broadens a fragrance's appeal. Best used with restraint unless you're deliberately going for big and fun.
Rhubarb
Rhubarb
Tart, crisp, and slightly green, rhubarb has a fresh, sour fruitiness that is more refreshing than sweet. It adds a clean, astringent quality to fragrances, like citrus, but fruitier and more unusual. Used in contemporary fresh and aromatic compositions to add a distinctive, slightly challenging freshness.
Watermelon
Watermelon
Clean, watery, and slightly sweet, watermelon is one of the lightest and most transparent fruit notes in perfumery. It's more aquatic than fruity, with a fresh, cooling quality that evokes summer and heat. Often combined with aquatic notes for maximum freshness. Best used in light, contemporary fragrances rather than complex orientals.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Clove
Clove
Intensely aromatic and medicinal with a sharp, almost numbing warmth, clove is one of perfumery's most assertive spice notes. It appears in classic oriental and masculine fragrances where its forcefulness is a feature, not a bug. Even in small amounts it announces itself clearly, adding drama and depth.
Guaiac Wood
Guaiac Wood
Smoky, slightly rosy, and dry, guaiac wood has a gentle, transparent smokiness that doesn't overwhelm. It's often used to add a campfire-distant quality to woody or oriental fragrances without going full leather or incense. One of perfumery's more understated and quietly beautiful materials.
Jasmine
Jasmine
Intoxicating, heady, and slightly animalic, jasmine is one of the few flowers that smells as rich in a bottle as it does climbing a garden wall at dusk. It has an almost fleshy, indolic quality that stops it reading as purely 'clean.' Jasmine is a workhorse in both feminine and masculine perfumery, adding depth and soul.
Lily Of The Valley
Lily Of The Valley
Crisp, green, and dewy, this spring flower smells like rain on cool grass with a clean, soap-like clarity. It's one of perfumery's most requested scents despite being nearly impossible to extract naturally, so it's almost always recreated synthetically. The result is fresh, tender, and timelessly elegant.
Olibanum
Olibanum
Opoponax
Opoponax
The 'sweet myrrh' of ancient perfumery, opoponax has a warm, balsamic, slightly vanilla-like quality that is softer and more approachable than regular myrrh. It has a honeyed sweetness with a faint herbal edge, creating a rich, complex base note. A pillar of classic oriental perfumery, it adds warmth and tenacity.
Pink Pepper
Pink Pepper
Fruity, slightly rosy, and gently spiced, pink pepper is softer and more aromatic than black pepper. It occupies a unique space between citrus, floral, and spice families, which makes it exceptionally versatile. You'll find it in contemporary fresh fragrances where it adds lift and personality without aggression.
Rose
Rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Amber
Amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
Virginia Cedar
Virginia Cedar
Warm, slightly sweet, and clean, Virginia cedarwood is the most commonly used cedar in mainstream perfumery. It has a familiar, pencil-cedar smell with a soft warmth that makes it universally approachable. Less assertive than Atlas cedar, it acts as a quiet, reliable base note in hundreds of commercial fragrances.
