Our take
What does This is Her! smell like?
Zadig & Voltaire launched This is Her in 2016, alongside its masculine twin This is Him. Michel Almairac and Sidonie Lancesseur wrote the formula. The opening pairs fizzy pink pepper with jasmine and silk tree blossom, a material you rarely see in perfume. The heart is where it gets interesting: half chestnut and half vanilla, on a cloud of whipped cream. The chestnut has that floury, roasted quality of street-stall chestnuts, and the cream lightens it without making it cloying. The base is quieter. Sandalwood and cashmere wood form a muffled, slightly musky layer that stays on skin long after. Next to caramel or praline gourmands, This is Her offers a drier sweetness that never gets sticky. Longevity is good and projection moderate.
When to wear it
Autumn into winter, for everyday wear or a date. Two or three sprays on your scarf.
It belongs to the Oriental / Amber family. This is Her! is one of 9 creations by Zadig & Voltaire in our encyclopedia.
