Behind The Scent: POM
POM by Posie: A European Summer Inspired Candle Tomato Leaf, Lemon Peel & Moss
If you’ve ever wandered through the sun-bleached hill towns of Puglia, you’ll remember the scent. Ripe fruits warmed by the sun, vines twisted with green herbs, citrus lingering in the breeze. Inspired by those southern Italian landscapes is POM – a herbaceous candle scent blending tomato leaf, lemon peel, and moss.
Originally released as a limited edition scent in 2022, POM now returns as a permanent part of our scent collection. A fragrance loved for its fresh notes and Mediterranean soul.
Inspiration behind POM
Some say the fruit grows riper and sweeter in the whitewashed hill towns and centuries-old farmlands of Puglia, Italia. Maybe it’s the smooth plains just above the salty Adriatic Sea, where coastal breezes sweep inland, cooling the sun and brushing gently over the land.
It’s this feeling, of place, warmth, and seasonal abundance that lives inside POM. Born from our travels and memories, this scent is a sensory postcard from southern Italy.
What does POM smell like?
POM is fresh, green and softly complex. A scent that opens with the crisp brightness of lemon peel, settles into the distinct earthiness of tomato leaf, and lingers with the grounding depth of moss. POM feels both clean and vibrant.
