How close each one gets
Brooklyn
Brooklyn Candle StudioCassis and leather over patchouli and wild sage. Fruit over something dark is exactly this structure, and it is the closest verified match.
Wild Herb Tonic
P.F. Candle CoGuaiacwood and patchouli in the base under herbs and citrus. It carries both base notes of the original and none of the fruit.
Palo Santo
Brooklyn Candle StudioPalo santo and cedar over sandalwood and amber. The smoke without the pomegranate, for anyone who liked the dry-down most.
What people ask about this scent
- 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.
