If Instant Goddess Energy Is What You're After, You Need to Prioritize This Enchanting Note

Scent Type: Fruity floral

Notes: Cassis, pomegranate, rose absolute, white orchid, sandalwood, amber

This '90s-inspired Boy Smells perfume smells like nostalgia, sunny days, and endless opportunities. Rosy Cheeks opens with a burst of cassis and juicy pomegranate warmed with soft rose, vanilla orchid, and creamy sandalwood. The sweetness in the fragrance can be largely credited to the juicy berries and creamy vanilla lurking just below the surface.

Customer Review: "This scent is pure nostalgia from my early 20s in a bottle! It opens with a burst of juicy pomegranate and cassis that feels playful and vibrant. As it settles, the soft rose and warm vanilla orchid come through beautifully. I love how it lingers all day with creamy sandalwood—perfect for brunch or a night out!"

Scent Type: Fruity floral

Notes: Yuzu, iced accord, pomegranate, peony, magnolia, lotus flower, acajou, vegetal amber, musk

Drawing inspiration from Donatella Versace's favorite floral fragrances, this crisp perfume offers a soft bouquet of springtime blooms (magnolia, lotus, and peony). While it opens with a lively burst of pomegranate and yuzu on ice, bit's t he vegetal amber and musk that gives the fragrance its slightly sheer quality upon dry-down.

Customer Review: "The fresh, juicy opening of pomegranate and yuzu, paired with soft florals like peony, magnolia, and lotus, creates a scent that feels clean, feminine, and effortlessly elegant. The gentle musky and amber base adds warmth without heaviness. It brings me a sense of peace and calm, and it’s the kind of fragrance that simply feels good to wear—graceful, comforting, and suitable for any occasion. I love it!"

Scent Type: Aromatic fruits

Notes: Pomegranate, Casablanca lily, pink pepper, guaiacwood, patchouli

Arguably one of Jo Malone's most moody and effortlessly seductive scents the brand currently offers, their Pomegranate Noir Cologne delivers on the sticky-sweet fragrance I associate with the pomegranate pulp. It's a darker take on a traditional fruit scent, spiked with raspberry, plum, pink pepper, and spicy woods. It's basically the nightcap of perfumes.

Customer Review: "Thought from the title of the fragrance this would be a fruity spice. I had no idea this was going to be so deeply sultry and complex. The top started off with patchouli on me but quickly changed into an earthy, almost menthol pine and cedar but with so many layers of bitter and sweet pomegranate. I cannot keep from smelling my wrist as it keeps evolving. Amazing fragrance!"

Scent Type: Woody floral

Notes: Sicilian lemon, Calabrian bergamot, pomegranate, lemon flower, jasmine sambac, jasmine infusion, peony, sandalwood, amber, musk, sensual woods

Here's a classic floral fragrance that uses pomegranate to help ground it while offering bright, luminous layers of citrus and florals. Its base notes, sensual, smooth woods, makes this the perfect fragrance to wear for your day-to-night activities with impressive sillage. I'm also obsessed with this perfume's stunning bottle design, which features a gilded Medusa and Greek key engraved on the edge.

Customer Review: "This perfume is amazing! It’s a fresh light floral scent. I’m not a fan of fresh or floral scent but this perfume managed to get it right! It’s has great projection and I’m always getting compliments on it. It mixes well with other perfumes so if you like layering your frangance you definitely need this in the mix. I managed to finish the 1.7 oz bottle in under 2 months. It’s amazing!"

Scent Type: Woody fruits

Notes: Pomegranate, tuberose, orris, mimosa, blackcurrant

I love photorealistic perfumes, and this For Strange Women perfume oil is the best startlingly real interpretation of a pomegranate scent I've come across. Inspired by the queen of the underworld herself, this Persephone-inspired fragrance draws from elements in myth by combining notes of the fleshy fruit with fig, strawberry, a dash of powdery florals, and a base of blackcurrant and orris that emerge in the dry down.

Customer Review: "Full-bodied fall fruit. dark, sensual, almost spicy from the orris root note. like a red sangria with a cinnamon stick. not much development, fairly consistent throughout the scent though starts darker (perhaps the black currant) and as it develops the pomegranate and fruit become more evident. i don't get much strawberry, but the tuberose and mimosa are definitely present for a scent fit for a goddess. starts strong and enormous from the oil base, becomes more intimate but still present."

Scent Type: Chypre floral

Notes: Pomegranate, persimmon, green accord, black orchid, lotus blossom, cream accord, mahogany wood, violet

I'm not sure if it's because I remember seeing it on the vanities of 2000's it-girls, or if I just have a thing for a playful bottle design, but Calvin Klein's Euphoria Eau de Parfum is effortlessly cool. It opens with chilled notes of pomegranate and persimmon before a green accord, creamy florals, and woody notes add a playful edge to the olfactory composition.

Customer Review: "Cold lacquered mahogany wood, pomegranate peels and dewy orchids. I don't get any of the sweet and warm notes, this feels very cool, almost icy to me. It's a very Y2K scent, and the bottle design is absolutely perfect for it—it smells just like it looks. I think this is what a supermodel's penthouse interior would smell like, and even though it's the complete opposite of my everyday vibe, I really like it. And it's surprisingly affordable, too."

Scent Type: Spiced fruits

Notes: Bergamot, bitter orange, fresh spices, pomegranate accord, rose, ylang-ylang, oakmoss, labdanum, patchouli, musk

Santa Maria Novella's Melograno Eau de Cologne is proof that fresh spices pair beautifully with a striking pomegranate accord. Drawing inspiration from Persia (where pomegranates are native), this sensual fragrance offers an enchanting blend of bergamot, bitter orange, and rose set warmed by a base of oakmoss, labdanum, and patchouli.

Customer Review: "There is an entire world living inside Melograno, and in that respect I think it actually is very much like a pomegranate, though I am generally not too concerned with names and their accuracy. It fuses seamlessly with my own skin's scent, but there is also so much complexity that I feel like I can peer into it and never get bored."

Scent Type: Woody fougère

Notes: Goji berry accord, bergamot essence, hibiscus accord, water lily accord, pomegranate accord, cedar wood essence

Bulgari's Omnia Coral Eau de Toilette is a masterclass in balancing woody notes with sweet, nectar-like florals with soft musks. Drawing inspiration from the luminous qualities of red coral, this vibrant perfume combines tropical goji berries with bergamot, hibiscus, and water lily before shifting into a sheer, warm base of pomegranate and cedar wood.

Customer Review: "The first spray is lush and juicy. It really evokes red fruits to me, that coral hue of the flacon, but nothing saccharine in these fruits. It's a burst of flavor I can almost taste. It settles into a tropical floral fragrance, a little musky, a sophisticated warm-weather scent. Wearing this makes me feel chic in my long summer dresses. I'd match this with a coral-embellished gold cuff."

Scent Type: Aromatic woods

Notes: Pomegranate, blackcurrant, cypress, lemon, bergamot, sage, rose, white musk, moss, patchouli

A crisp, sparkling pomegranate accord like the one making up the heart of Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria Granada Salvia Eau de Toilette always makes me dream of sun-kissed skin and slow summer days. This one's delicious pomegranate accord is layered with fresh blackcurrant and lemon before being rounded out by the grounding qualities of cypress, sage, and moss.

Customer Review: "Granada Salvia has one of the most elegant openings for an aqua. It opens with sparkling yet juicy pomegranate and a burst of bright bergamot. At the heart of the fragrance, the sage’s slightly herby presence blends well with the citrus. The musk and patchouli’s quiet presence make this a skin scent once dried down."

Scent Type: Fruity floral

Notes: Pomegranate, lemon, rose petal, apple, jasmine, wisteria

Another fruity floral perfume that does pomegranate well is My Burberry Blush Eau de Parfum. It captures the senses with blossoming flowers cut by a sharp pomegranate chord that, when couples with lemon, feels fresh and bright. The perfume, by Francis Kurkdjian and Christopher Bailey, also features a hint of crisp apple, watery wisteria, and jasmine.

Customer Review: "Very pretty. Blush avoids all the common pitfalls that plague modern designer releases—[it's] not abrasive, metallic, screechy, and nothing harsh in the base. The notes meld seamlessly. This perfume is clean, diaphanous, pretty, refreshing, soft, smooth, very easy to wear. If you are sensitive and prefer subtle scents with nuance, you may want to try this one. A great option for the warm months if you enjoy fruity roses."

Scent Type: Floral citrus

Notes: Pomegranate, Sicilian lemon, coriander, freesia, rose centifolia, white peony, ambergris (synthetic), incense, vetiver

If you haven't discovered how well pomegranate and lemon complement each other, take Bō Parfum's Rosario Eau de Parfum as a sign to give the timeless combination a try. Created by Master Perfumer Olivier, it opens with a citrus burst before revealing a powdery, fresh floral heart. I think its base notes of incense and vetiver, however, are where this fragrance really shines upon dry down.

Customer Review: "I am a lover of rose scents, but I’m particular about what I pick out for myself. This captures everything I love about rose scents: it’s fresh and light, while also having amazing longevity. I don’t smell much of the incense note, but the pomegranate and lemon comes through. Truly a perfume worth saving up for a full bottle."

Scent Type: Spiced fruit

Notes: Mandarin, cistus flowers, Atlas cedar, ambergris, vetiver

If you're more partial to spiced fruit compositions, make sure to get your hands on J.U.S. Parfums' Andaluzia Eau de Parfum before #BeautyTok discovers it. Warm and moody with a dash of sensuality, this perfume finds itself at the crossroads of Eastern and Western cultures with velvety pomegranate, Madagascar mandarin essence, dry Atlas cedar, and cozy amber.

Customer Review: "If you’re into a linear, sweet, fruity, [vanilla-like], resinous, amber-y, lactonic fragrances with a good performance you’re in for a treat! Andaluiza belongs to the warm and fruity fragrance family, offering a mixture of warmth and sweetness within the gourmand category. It opens with a sweet, juicy mandarin orange mixed with overripe pomegranate"

Scent Type: Citrus floral

Notes: Orange blossom absolute, pomegranate, bergamot, French jasmine absolute, honey, Florentine citrus, musk, cedar wood, firewood smoke, cade wood, Oiselet de Chypre (17th century resinous accord)

While the presence of pomegranate in this perfume is considerably more pared down in this perfume than others in this edit, I love what it adds to this orange blossom-forward scent. Arquiste's L'Or de Louis is an opulent citrus floral perfume that includes notes of orange blossom absolute with honey, pomegranate, firewood and something incredibly special... 24 karat gold.

Customer Review: "This fragrance is truly underrated, I can’t get enough of it. Having grown up in Southern California, the scent of orange blossoms and jasmine, when done right, brings back a deep sense of nostalgia and joy. This takes me straight to my childhood: a perfect spring day, 75° with the sun on my skin and a hint of salt from sweat. I don’t pick up on the smoke note, yet there’s an undeniable warmth to it. It’s a dry floral with a slightly vintage feel. This is gorgeous."
