Our take

What does Girls Can Do Anything smell like?

The name sounds like a slogan. Girls Can Do Anything came out at Zadig & Voltaire in 2018. Quentin Bisch built it on a simple idea: take the fougère accord, long a men's territory, and make it feminine. Pear opens the scent, juicy and a little tart, with mandarin and bergamot. Orange blossom follows close behind. The heart warms up fast. Tonka bean takes a lot of space there while tuberose adds some floral roundness. The base owns its masculine wink. A fern accord meets vanilla, musk and a discreet patchouli. It smells like shaving foam softened with sugar, which surprises in a good way. Compared with Lancôme's La Vie est Belle, another sweet pear, it is less sugary and more aromatic. It remains a young and easy perfume.

When to wear it

A between-seasons scent for weekends or a night out with friends. Two sprays are enough, and the tonka lasts on clothes.

VerdictA clever idea, better executed than the name suggests. The vanilla base still ends up resembling plenty of others.

It belongs to the Floral, Fougère family. Girls Can Do Anything is one of 8 creations by Zadig & Voltaire in our encyclopedia.
