Melograno by Santa Maria Novella

*****
Year: 1965

Notes: pomegranate, powdery floral notes
Melograno appears to be a lighter and more wearable version of Chanel No. 5. With its aldehydic and powdery properties, words like 'old-fashioned', 'barbershop' and 'harsh' naturally spring to mind. However, one doesn't get any pomegranate at all but a mixture of florals and tart fruits instead.

Although it's sharp, unusual and slightly synthetic, one still has an inexplicable soft spot for it...
