Too bad, coz it would've fitted in the perfume tour of Antwerp which I'm planning with a friend. But hey, Comme des Garçons, POTL, SMN, Hermès and Necessities (which carries a lot of the niche brands) is probably enough for one day! There's an Annick Goutal in Brussels though, so that'll be for my next fragrance foray. Checked the yellow pages but couldn't find an Annick Goutal shop in Antwerp.

(SMN's is an exception...but I would probably not wear the cologne version; I'll enjoy the soap and candle.) I agree…love pomegranate juice but don't like many pomegranate fragrances.

I feel like they come off smelling like something from Bath & Body Works (although BBW has a pom body butter I think smells great) This looks like fun, though, even if it *does* look a little, well, odd :-) I like to eat them, but it's hard to find a pom fragrance to love … I feel like they come off smelling like something from Bath & Body Works (although BBW has a pom body butter I think smells great)

Now I'm definitely keeping it to see if I get any funny reactions! ;-) Thanks for the review, Kevin. The soap sounds wonderful and love the packaging. SMN opened a brand new boutique in Antwerp, so I'll be able to check it out soon.

Well down here in Texas they literally grow on bushes all over the place, and its hard for me to believe that anyone near a Middle Eastern restaurant wouldn't have seen one in person but you are probably right!

I don't know if you're writing from the U.S., but in the States many don't KNOW what a fresh pomegranate looks like...let alone its symbolism.

Lawrence and figs). But oh...my.... the swollen seeds in this little terra cotta number, that weird stem area, and the particular way they've cut it open make me blush! Not sure I'd want to be explaining this to my work colleagues ("Oh this? It's just my fertility rite scent ball, why do you ask?") but perhaps its just me?
