Pomegranate
Antica Farmacista

I rather enjoy this one. The pomegranate is fruity and a little sweeter than it should be IMO. I would have liked the sweetness cut by a different herb than the basil, which isn't really good at cutting sweetness. I guess there is some citrus in the opening to – I can smell it, but it isn't sharp enough. Underneath the pomegranate accord is a floral accord – rose and some white floral that I can identify. The rose is a soft but a bit musty… not unpleasant, mind you, and I think I could learn to really enjoy it. Actually both the fruit and the floral accords are on the subtle side, and I would enjoy it more if it didn't turn soapy. Usually I don't mind a bit of soap feel, but it just doesn't seem to fit in what should be happening here. I actually like Antica Farmacista's Pomegranate (Melagrano) better than this review sounds, I think I'm a little frustrated because with a little tweaking, this could have been quite a bit better.
