Each pick includes the important differences, tradeoffs and our bottom-line verdict.
Apple of Grenada keeps the recognizable dark-fruit-and-spice character. The fruit can feel tart and bitter, with clove-like warmth taking a bigger role than the name might suggest. DUA’s general brand estimate is 6–8 hours.
Our first pick for a close take on the original’s dark, spiced character.
The spicy side can lead the wearing, leaving the fruit as an accent. It is a good fit for the darker character of Pomegranate Noir, though it may take time to grow on someone expecting a juicy fruit scent.
Jenny Glow opens with peppery fruit and a bitter herbal edge. Clove, patchouli and warm woods give it a convincing connection to Pomegranate Noir as it settles. Observed skin wear is around 6 hours.
A close second for someone who likes the original’s more unusual, herbal side.
The opening can feel medicinal, and wormwood can be especially prominent. Its trail can also sit closer to the skin than Jo Malone’s, even when the scent itself feels very familiar.
We weigh the opening, heart and drydown at 30%, 40% and 30%. Comparisons with the original, scent development and differing wearing experiences shape these editorial similarity estimates.
Jenny Glow has an observed skin wearing of around 6 hours. DUA’s 6–8 hours is a general brand estimate, rather than an independently timed wearing of Apple of Grenada.
Apple of Grenada is our first pick for the overall Pomegranate Noir connection. Jenny Glow is a close alternative if you enjoy a peppery opening and more herbal character. Keep Jo Malone in mind when its particular balance of fruit, lily, patchouli and smoky woods is what draws you in.

The original Pomegranate Noir Cologne. The comparison is with the fragrance worn on skin.
DUA gives a general 6–8-hour brand estimate. We have not found an independently timed wearing for this specific scent.
An observed skin wearing reached around 6 hours. That includes the softer finish close to the skin.
Despite the name, its focus is pomegranate, raspberry and plum with spice, lily and guaiac wood.
The fruit has sweetness, but pepper, patchouli and smoky woods give the original a darker character.
Jenny Glow. Its wormwood can make the opening noticeably bitter and aromatic.
The combination of bitter herbs and sweet fruit can suggest cough syrup before the woods become clearer.
Apple of Grenada is the first choice here. Its clove-like warmth can become the main impression.
It can sit closer to the skin. Close resemblance does not guarantee the same projection.
Cool days and evenings suit their warm fruit-and-spice character particularly well.
When you want the exact balance of tart fruit, floral lift, patchouli and smoky wood that makes Pomegranate Noir distinctive.
