Balade De Figuer by Zara was launched in 2023 and crafted by the renowned perfumer Jo Malone. This fragrance weaves together a blend of fig leaf, grapefruit, and tangerine, creating an opening that is both fresh and vibrant. The heart notes of iris and petitgrain add depth and complexity, while the base of tobacco leaf, milk, and muscenone brings warmth and sensuality to the composition. Balade De Figuer captures a moment suspended between the crispness of citrus and the richness of woodsy undertones.

“I couldn't afford to go to perfumery school. So I taught myself. Sometimes not knowing the rules is the greatest advantage.”
Jo Malone is a self-taught perfumer and entrepreneur who fundamentally changed how people think about wearing fragrance. With no formal training — she learned by mixing bath oils in her kitchen — she built Jo Malone London into a global luxury brand defined by its elegant simplicity and innovative layering concept. Her fragrances, including Lime Basil & Mandarin and English Pear & Freesia, are designed to be combined, creating a personal scent wardrobe rather than a single signature. After selling her brand to Estée Lauder, she returned to perfumery with Jo Loves, proving that her creative vision remains as vital as ever.
