The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

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.

How to wear it

For best results, apply No 3 Citrus Meze to pulse points in the morning. The top notes will brighten your day, while the base notes gradually unfold throughout the hours, providing a lasting yet subtle presence.
