Balade De Figuer

A morning walk through an orchard, where the sun's rays highlight each leaf and fruit, blending the crispness of grapefruit with the earthy richness of woodsmoke.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

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.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a warm, inviting scent that lasts throughout the day. The fresh citrus notes will fade within an hour or two, but the rich base notes will linger close to skin, creating a subtle yet comforting presence.
