  • Signature

    Pomegranate Noir is woody and sweet with a clear character, good on most days.

Try them together

Three pairings

The three highest pair scores among our checked bottles. Each score has a reason. Smell is personal; these rules are a starting point.

  1. Byredo

    Along with sweetness, Pomegranate Noir's guaiacwood lasts longer over the quiet musk of Super Cedar.

    Spray Super Cedar first (3 sprays, neck, chest and wrists), let it settle a minute, then Pomegranate Noir on top (2 sprays, neck and wrists).

  2. Acqua di Parma

    Colonia

    76/100

    Colonia's lemon lifts the guaiacwood in Pomegranate Noir, which also adds sweetness.

    Spray Pomegranate Noir first (2 sprays, chest and neck), let it settle a minute, then Colonia on top (3 sprays, neck, wrists and a mist on your shirt).

  3. Acqua di Parma

    Along with sweetness, Pomegranate Noir's guaiacwood grounds the green fig nectar of Fico di Amalfi.

    Spray Pomegranate Noir first (2 sprays, chest and neck), let it settle a minute, then Fico di Amalfi on top (3 sprays, neck, wrists and a mist on your shirt).
