Pomegranate (Fruity)

Pomegranate is a sweet, refreshing, exotic fruit with a slight floral smell. Pomegranates are native to Iran and some people believe that it is the forbidden fruit from the Bible. In one version of Greek mythology, Persephone eats a pomegranate while in the underworld and has to spend eternity there as a punishment.

Pomegranate mimics many other fruits and goes well with so many of our oils. Mix it with Mandarin to get a scent of apricots and mangos. Or mix it with Peach Blossom, Strawberry and Raspberry and you will think you mixed up a Cranberry brew for a summer party. Pair it with Cedarwood and China Musk, or...

You get the picture. It is fresh and clean and refreshing—and so willing to be what you want it to be. I mixed pomegranate with juniper and cinnamon and called it Cinnaberry. What do you think would go well with pomegranate?
