Vega Report post Posted May 17, 2011 Pomegranate, Tamil Nadu sandalwood, lavender, tamarind, hazelnut, Atlas cedarwood, sugar date, bitter clove, and Arabian myrrh. Sniffed: Pomegranate upon a deep woody base, edged with an intense tartness that may be the tamarind and the nuts/spices, and perhaps touched with a breath of lavender.On skin: Pomegranate takes centre stage in this blend, but its tart, juicy sweetness is tempered and grounded by mellow dry woods. There's a touch of clear and deep myrrh, and non-woody notes that must be the hazelnut and date. Just like Pomegranates I and II, blend III is a pomegranate showcase, albeit more complex, drier, deeper, and a bit less juicy-sweet than the former two. A full-bodied blend that remains quite constant over time. Colour impression is a mellow orange-red-brown.Verdict: When by itself or dominant, the pomegranate note is a bit too intense and tart-sweet for me. I like Pomegranate III more than the simpler I and II, but it still dominates the blend too much for my liking. Even so, I have enjoyed testing the variety of the Pomegranate Grove, and III is a worthy member of this series! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fairestrocza Report post Posted November 19, 2012 I've had this decant since the Pom Patch came out, but could never quite wrap my mind around it enough to do a review. On me, it is mainly pomegranate, lavender, and a third note that I assume by process of elimination is either tamarind or sugar date. I periodically get a hint of woodiness. Clove and myrrh are absent. Overall, I am fairly indifferent to this one. I don't love it, don't hate it, and probably don't need it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellumed Report post Posted November 11, 2016 Imp: splash of juicy pomegranate and tamarind, followed up by something powdery and a touch bitter. Skin: Soft lavender and wood, much drier fruits. It's cozy, kind of a "laid back" scent. Pleasant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
torikitty Report post Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) I can't believe I didn't realize this was a 'weenie! I would have figured this for a Yule. I got it from a lovely swapper, and didn't get around to reviewing it until now. In the bottle: pine and juniper? Christmas in a bottle. wet: pine, which i'm guessing is actually cedarwood. Pomegranate is there, but it's not the dominant note. Perhaps the bitter clover and tamarind in the background. Drydown: This is exciting! I've been looking for a replacement to B&BW Mulberry Spice. I couldn't wear it since it burned my skin, probably a skin reaction to the cinnamon oil they used. Anyway, this is smelling a lot like the base notes. I would need to add something sweet, like a cinnamon/berry to round it out. Or maybe just something cinnamon Dry: Definitely recommend this as a Mulberry Spice alternative. It does sweeten up a bit, and still reminds me of Christmastime. I don't think I can pinpoint any one note, but they blend together very nicely. Sadly, this was eaten by my skin, and after 2 hours, I couldn't smell anything. Edited April 13, 2017 by Carrie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
