The Story

Launched in 2021 by Zara and crafted by renowned perfumer Jo Malone, Boldly Seoul is an unisex fragrance that captures the essence of its namesake city. The composition opens with a delicate yet bold note of violet, which transitions into the sunny and vibrant heart of mimosa before settling into a musky base that grounds the entire scent in a powdery warmth.

Jo Malone portrait
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.
