Melagrana Currante / Pomegranate & Currant
Antica Farmacista (2005)

tart, sour and realistic accord of berries and black currant. smells exactly like the taste one would get drinking a currant based juice. Smells pretty potent and fruity and i would classify it as a "joyful" fragrance. Not my type of scent but, without a doubt an interesting and worthwhile release for someone who like fruity concoctions with a realistic accord. lovely.

Simple but domineering fruity scent. Smells of bitter apples and sour oranges. A little more sticky and thick than I'd like. Spices in the forefront tones done the fruitiness. Nothing exciting and almost too much at the same time.

An interesting and refreshing combination: pomegranate and current… blended with orange. It forms a fruity combination that is not at all too sweet because the currants and the spice keep the sweetness under control. The scent is quite linear, which is fine because the fruity combination is interesting enough to maintain attention. The only change I get in the main accord is the gradual fading of main pomegranate / currant / orange accord to the point where it is no longer there. In the background of the fruity accord I get that same neutral accord that I have been smelling in several of the more recent fragrances. It's about the same neutral accord as I get in the heart of Gucci Envy. I really enjoy that accord, but in Pomegranate and Currant, the fruity accord lasts longer than the background. The drydown is simply the faded leftovers of the main accord; needless to say it is very light. The longevity is poor – I get about forty-five minutes. This is a very pleasant scent, but its lack of staying power concerns me: It's a thumbs up fragrance with a neutral longevity. Apparently it is meant as a kind of cologne because it is offered only in 250ml and 500ml sizes at $120 and $160 respectively.
