Pomegranate
Pomegranates yield no perfume extract; the tart, juicy red-fruit note is assembled from green, leafy and floral molecules.
- What it is
- A fruit whose smell can’t be extracted, so perfumers rebuild it from other materials.
- How perfumers build it
- Known in
- Euphoria (Calvin Klein, 2005)
