The Story

Launched in 2021 by Zara and crafted by the renowned perfumer Jo Malone, No 3 Citrus Meze is a fresh and aromatic fragrance for women. The composition opens with a vibrant burst of bergamot and grapefruit, providing an invigorating start that cuts through any heaviness. As it evolves, neroli and orange blossom bring in a subtle floral warmth, creating a contrast between the freshness of citrus and the softness of white florals. The base notes of musk and Akigalawood add depth and longevity, grounding the fragrance with a touch of earthy sensuality.

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.
