The Pomegranate Princess release draws inspiration from Kateb’s Persian heritage. The fragrance reinterprets the cultural symbolism of the pomegranate — representing abundance and femininity — into a gourmand composition that combines juicy pomegranate, ripe strawberry, and a base of whipped frosting. The launch of the Pomegranate Princess scent is strategically timed to coincide with the Persian New Year. The product is also debuting at [Sephora](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watermelon-peony-perfume-oil) on National Fragrance Day. In response to customer feedback, the brand is introducing its first travel spray format for this release. It is accompanied by a detachable keychain accessory that allows the small bottle to be carried as a functional bag charm.
