New Notes Pomelo Malindi — a citrus fragrance with an icy character
New Notes Pomelo Malindi is a niche unisex fragrance in Parfum (Extrait) concentration, released in 2026.
The composition belongs to the citrus family and is built around juicy pomelo, cool mineral nuances, and a transparent woody-ambery base.
This fragrance is for those who enjoy freshness with a distinctive character rather than ordinary aquatic compositions.
The release continues the philosophy of the New Notes brand, an Italian house that reinterprets familiar accords and transforms them into contemporary olfactory stories.
In Pomelo Malindi, the familiar citrus theme unfolds with dimension: the crisp opening gradually becomes spicier, softer, and deeper while preserving a sense of sunlit air and clean coolness.
How the composition unfolds
In the first minutes, the fragrance smells bright and energetic: citrus notes create the effect of freshly cut peel, while an icy accord adds an almost tactile coolness to the composition.
Then mint, coriander, and nutmeg emerge at the heart, making the freshness more textured and piquant.
Jasmine and orange blossom soften the spicy edge without turning the fragrance overtly floral.
As it develops, Pomelo Malindi becomes warmer and calmer.
Amber, cedar, patchouli, sandalwood, and musk form a lasting woody-ambery base that keeps the citrus impulse on the skin and gives it a refined depth.
The contrast between the cool opening and the warm base is the fragrance's defining feature.
Character, sillage, and wearability
In terms of positioning, Pomelo Malindi is a versatile fragrance without a gender association. It will appeal to women and men who enjoy clean, noticeable, and unconventional citrus compositions.
Thanks to its extrait concentration, the fragrance develops richly, and its stated sillage is rated as very strong: even a small cloud can noticeably accompany the wearer.
The best time to discover Pomelo Malindi is spring, summer, and early autumn, when its cool-spicy character is especially expressive.
At the same time, its deep base allows it to be worn in cooler weather as well, paired with everyday clothing, office style, or an evening look.
No precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing are provided, so the dosage should be adjusted gradually, starting with one or two sprays.
New Notes Pomelo Malindi fragrance pyramid
The top notes consist of ice, lemon, lime, pomelo, and yuzu. The heart unfolds with coriander, jasmine, mint, nutmeg, and orange blossom.
Amber, cedar, patchouli, sandalwood, and musk form the base, creating a long-lasting woody-ambery trail.
No information about the perfumer behind the composition is available.
The database also contains no information about other Pomelo Malindi concentrations, so it is impossible to compare this extrait with Eau de Parfum or Eau de Toilette versions.
