Index Pomegranate Anise (1997)
by Fresh

The pomegranate plus anise concept appeals to me in the abstract, but not as it’s executed here. The top notes build a sour, synthetic fruity accord that doesn’t have the courtesy to fade away. I don’t get much anise out of this mix, which is too bad, since its sweet, cool scent would have done much to buffer the chemical assault. Not one of the Fresh brand’s most successful outings.

Pomegranate Anise is another great fruity masterpiece from Fresh. It is very bright, crisp and fruity with strong notes of grapefruit and pomegranate, with lovely fresh freesia and lily notes that really lighten it up and a seedy star anise, warm amber and sandalwood dry down. This is one of Fresh's best. It is very much a sharp, fresh grapefruit & pomegranate fragrance. I love it.
