What should a Pomegranate Noir alternative actually have?

Smoke under the fruit. A candle with pomegranate and no guaiac wood or patchouli will smell brighter and much younger, which is the opposite of what makes this one recognisable.

Is there a price for the original here?

No. We had not observed one when this page was written, so the cell stays empty rather than being filled from a third-party listing.

[ Not shown ] is a figure we hold and are withholding. Not observed is one nobody here has recorded. Hover or focus either for the reason.

Burn hours are as stated by each maker, never measured by us. Where a shop publishes a different figure we record both and say so. “Not observed” means nobody here has ever recorded a price for that row. “Not shown” means we hold one and are withholding it, because its source page or its pricing basis was never recorded, and a sale price set against a list price produces a wrong answer from correct arithmetic. The reasons per row: Jo Malone London Pomegranate Noir — Price not observed; Brooklyn — Price not shown — basis not established; Wild Herb Tonic — Price not shown — basis not established; Palo Santo — Price not shown — basis not established.

The matches

How close each one gets

Brooklyn
Brooklyn Candle Studio
Cassis and leather over patchouli and wild sage. Fruit over something dark is exactly this structure, and it is the closest verified match.
Where to buy
Wild Herb Tonic
P.F. Candle Co
Guaiacwood and patchouli in the base under herbs and citrus. It carries both base notes of the original and none of the fruit.
Where to buy
Palo Santo
Brooklyn Candle Studio
Palo santo and cedar over sandalwood and amber. The smoke without the pomegranate, for anyone who liked the dry-down most.
