Pomelo Malindi is a unisex fragrance by New Notes, presented as an Extrait de Parfum: a citrus-aromatic scent designed for anyone looking for a bright, fresh yet sophisticated trail, evoking the energy of a sun-drenched day by the sea.
The Fragrance
Pomelo Malindi is a tribute to the coastal spirit of Malindi, on Kenya's Indian Ocean coast: a place of intense light, salty breeze and lush vegetation that New Notes translates into a radiant composition, where the vivacity of ripe citrus meets the soft sensuality of a warm, enveloping base.
How It Evolves on Skin
On opening, Pomelo Malindi presents a vivid, almost sparkling citrus accord: pomelo, yuzu, lemon and lime follow one another in a juicy, slightly bitter burst, while an icy accord adds a crisp, almost salty freshness. In the heart, the fragrance opens up: coriander and nutmeg bring a warm, spicy nuance, fresh mint adds a cooling touch, while orange blossom and jasmine add a soft floral component that balances the spice without weighing it down. In the base, the composition warms: white amber offers a delicate, skin-close warmth, sandalwood and cedarwood build a creamy, enveloping woody foundation, while patchouli and musky notes close the trail with earthy depth and discreet persistence.
Who We Recommend Pomelo Malindi To
Pomelo Malindi is the ideal choice for anyone who loves citrus fragrances without giving up a warm, sophisticated base: perfect for the warm season, for everyday wear, and for those seeking a versatile unisex fragrance suited to an outdoor aperitivo as much as a day at the office. It suits anyone who prefers fresh scents with character, able to leave a recognisable trail all the same.

Our Opinion
Pomelo Malindi won us over with its ability to stay fresh without ever feeling ordinary: the citrus opening is lively and immediate, but it's in the base that you discover a depth you wouldn't expect from such a bright fragrance. It's the kind of scent that's easy to wear every day, yet keeps offering something new every time you try it.
