Launched in 2023, Parfait d'Orchidee by Zara is an Oriental Floral fragrance for women, crafted by the renowned perfumer Jo Malone. This scent opens with a delicate interplay of incense and jasmine, creating an immediate sense of elegance and warmth. The heart notes of ginger and iris add a touch of sophistication, while the base of benzoin, vanilla, ambergris, and white musk envelops you in a powdery, smoky embrace that lingers throughout the day.

Application Tips
Apply one to two sprays to your pulse points. The incense and jasmine top notes are bright but fade quickly, so the heart and base notes will carry most of the scent throughout the day. This fragrance is best suited for evening wear, where its powdery warmth can truly shine.

“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.
