Description
The French fashion house Zadig & Voltaire, which fosters casual, boho and rock styles with a significant dash of cool elegance, presents its new fragrant pair in September 2016 announced with the slogan “This is Zadig!”. The perfume pair consists of a feminine and a masculine edition: This is Her! and This is Him!. The perfumes are created in cooperation with the company Beaute Prestige International (BPI).
Cecilia Bönström, artistic director of Zadig & Voltaire, said to wwd that the idea was to break from what already existed on the market and “to find a balance of something really clean and something darker, more mysterious.”
The woody, floral and gourmand This is Her, signed by perfumer duo Sidonie Lancesseur and Michel Almairac, contains notes of pink pepper, Sambac jasmine, milky chestnut cream, vanilla and sandalwood. It is available as a 50 ml Eau de Parfum.
The bottles have a simple design with cracked edges, white for her for and black for him. The precious materials, with sandalwood as a signature, and the cool design try to offer something new in accordance with the edgy image of the brand.

I walked out the door, and my neighbour said my perfume smells great, went to the dentist, she asked what it was, as she loved it. My best friend dislikes it thou. It jas great sillage, thats for sure:)
Katrinik – :
This is disgusting! A blast of alcohol and chemicals at first, and then the smell of a small bureaucrat or banker at the end of a tiring day at the office. (She’s a smoker too.) Warm yet dirty, hate it.
VANICHE1983 – :
To me this is a very nice cream and vanilla scent, very comforting. When I first tested it I thought it smelled like hugs and felt like a cosy warm jumper. It was great for A/W, but after a few weeks using it every day I got bored of it so I gave it away to a friend who really loved it.
ivanandreev17 – :
A sugary wood scent. It reminds me of a lighter, less smokey version of MMM Replica By The Fireplace, especially getting into the drydown. The opening smells like an indeterminate soft sweetness. It’s not BAD bad, but it’s nothing memorable to me.
immams – :
It was such an urge that I had for this fragrance. I love nutty smells and I desperately wanted to get my hands on it. But I found out it’s quite soft on my skin, there’s definitely creamy note at charge, but I sense something minty and I don’t know what is it exactly. Probably certain flower/herb, because the sweetness is softened somehow. A lot of people claim it’s quite long lasting, but I can’t sense it in more than 3 hours on my skin. Perhaps my nose gets used to it quickly, I don’t know.
zevshan – :
In the bottle this smells amazing! But.. I tried it on and it almost made me puke! To me this smells very very sickening and its probably the worst perfume I ever tried. Weirdly enough my sister just loved it. And she laughed at me when I ran to the bathroom to wash this sickly sweet smell of my wrist.
I can’t really put my finger on it, theres just something in this that I really can’t stand… The same happened with Proenza Schoulers Arizona Eau de parfum?! No idea..
molotov – :
smells like powdery and aquatic in the same time. To me reminds me of windy evenings at beach. That beach air combined with the sweet uva lotion and vanilla that stayed on your skin after you swimmed.
It smeels like freshly tanned beach skin but in concentrated formula.
DJsKap – :
I have a sample, that just sits there because I don´t really feel like having this on my skin all day.
Extremely sweet, I just smell vanilla and not much else. The dry down is less generic, but it´s never going to feel “me”.
I´m just not into gourmand scents, they feel identical.
cnfhjcnf – :
Blind bought this on sale, the salesperson gushed over it & said it was creamy, subtly sweet and a bit masculine. Sounds heavenly! Unfortunately to me it smelled exactly like a kids’ bubble bath, and very like a cheap Britney Spears one I wore when I was 15: a linear synthetic sweet-shampoo smell that will offend no one but does not excite. Someone stole it out of my handbag on a night out so I think it’s gone to a better home.
teivanivip – :
This fragrance is quite unusual. The top note for me is pepper which sounds horrible but it quickly mellows down so although it doesn’t disappear altogether the lovely soft creamy vanilla starts to come through and balances it out. It leaves a beautiful juxtaposition of sweet and spicy. Really unusual and unlike anything else I have in my fragrance wardrobe. Longevity is good and the bottle is a striking addition to any collection.
валерьянушка – :
I tried this once at a store and i loved it, but couldnt remember the name. After a few days I back and bought it, and I couldnt be happier about my purchase.
This perfume is so different from anything ive ever smelled, its so well blended and creamy that I cant stop smelling my wrists every time i put it on. Its very cozy, perfect for colder weather, but still wearable in warmer weather if you dont overspray.
Its a soft woody milky scent with some peppery notes on my skin. After I spray it on it smells very weird and plastic but this lasts about a minute, and then i smell the milkiness, the pepper and some woody notes. The milkiness is not that sweet at first, but after a few hours it gets much warmer and stays close to the skin. After about twelve hours its almost gone and the only thing i can still smell is the cashmere wood. The more I wear this, the more I notice the chestnut. I haven’t smelled chestnut in a perfume before so it is very unique to me, and fortunately the note doesnt smell very synthetic to me.
I dont detect the jasmine in this one, which Im very pleased about because I have been getting tired of it in the perfumes that i own.
The sillage is very good for about 5 hours and then it becomes a skin scent, but i can still smell it after around twelve hours.
This is quickly becoming my signature scent, and I’ve gotten so many compliments every time i wear it.
mihail007 – :
Sweet, cashmere, subtle scent. I like it, but there is something strange about it. Maybe it’s this silky note.
orbittegrinny – :
My mother wears this fragrance. Very soft and comforting scent.
slotserv – :
This one is slowly but steadily creeping up on me. I catch myself dousing myself at the counter – would buy but am currently downsizing my collection. It is milky and has a pleasantly artificial stink to it that I have begun to crave. Initially it reminded me very much of Cacharel’s Noa because, just like Noa, there is a slightly scratchy muskiness to it that renders this otherwise sweetish-vanillic-milky cuddle – smell surprisingly sophisticated and saves it from being just another vaguely gourmand crowdpleaser. Must be the chestnuts. I think I will end up buying it because I so strongly gravitate towards this.
Have bought it and am in heaven.
Hamelion 375 – :
The first time I tried this parfume I loved it, but now on my second try it makes me smell sweaty, manly and like old stale warm cream, will not use again…
ClimaLight – :
As I am trying to minimalise my perfume collection, I go back and forth with this one.
This perfume I really like it, but I use the word “like” so often for so many perfumes that they are just “meh”, whereas this pearticular one is really like nothing else in my collection, soooo unique, sooooo cozy, and comfortable, and makes me enjoy myself when I wear it, even though the longevity here isn’t the best!
#keep calm and enjoy myself ^_^
musickid – :
Warm creamy cosy fragrance to wear cuddled up on the sofa on a rainy day. Beware! – it starts out very strong on the sandalwood – I always associate sandalwood with male scents, but this one balances it nicely with jasmine and vanilla. Later on it gets sweeter and creamier, and the floral notes are more prominent with the woody notes lingering in the background.
I do quite like this. As I only have one other fragrance with sandalwood in my collection (Cashmere Haze by H&M which smells very different) I may get this come next autumn; although I could imagine wearing it on summer nights too.
Viktor1973 – :
Found this on other sites:
“The main accords of opening notes include bergamot, peony, sambac jasmine, and orange blossom followed by a heart of tonka bean, jasmine tea, milky chestnut cream, and almond milk. The foundation of the scent is a gourmand of white musk, pink pepper, guaiac wood, and sandalwood.”
“This beautiful vagabond spreads it’s flowery spicy scent of jasmine and pink pepper. Soft but with a rockin’ heart of chestnut and benzoin. The feminine is amplified with an intesive base of sandalwood.”
“Perfume notes: Pink pepper, jasmine, chestnut cream.”
“Arabian jasmine, pink peppercorn, chestnut and vanilla, associated with sandalwood as base note.”
“Top notes: Pink Peppercorns, Rose
Heart notes: Jasmine, Chestnut
Base notes: Sandalwood, Benzoin, Vanilla”
kedbl – :
Reminds me of something like citrus/lemon soda milky ice cream.
Does not last long.
I like it.
Mepzx866bedyWelty – :
A very nice woody vanilla perfume. Feminine and powerful. I mostly get the chestnut, vanilla and whipped cream. I also get something cinnamon-like. This is a gourmand, but a very woody one. Beautiful for winter days.
Sillage is soft-moderate and longevity is about 4 hours.
rudakovdima – :
Sweet vanilla with wood gummibears soaked in sugary milk. Sweet, silky, warm, modern. Almost gourmand, but wood brings it back to earth. If you don’t feel well in stomach, then scent of this perfume can make it worse (for those who don’t tolerate well anything sweet-warm-milk when they feel sick). For younger audience 20+.
Танте – :
One of my favs and this is strange because I’m always into fresh, minty scents. This turned my world around and now I have a love-hate relationship with it. It is definitely a long wear EDP and watch out for your hair. It might come off only after 2 washes. So far no one gave me compliments about it but that’s fine because it is definitely not an ordinary fragrance. Only people like you will understand
Rhydaydeamp – :
“Gourmand but not gourmand” from rola.asad sounds about right.
It is woody-creamy, sweet, yet fresh a bit, overall very relaxing perfume for enjoying life and everything, that life can bring – ups and downs, rains and sunshine, tears and laughter, work and home time. Absolutely normal fragrance for all situations with this cozy vibe of creamy sweetness, woodiness and tiny-bit of florals, not too much to interfere with male personality as well, I consider, it easily could be a unisex.
jazo – :
When I first tried this I couldn’t decide if I liked it or not. After a few more tries I decided I didn’t like it. But then I layered it with Zadig: This is Him and found a winner.
To me this perfume really is best worn with the male counterpart.
kox803InsuffBooni – :
this perfume has a different twist, a different vibe! not gourmand, but gourmand, not sweet, but has some! creamy and so so so cozy!! when you smell it u need time to understand what does it smells like?! its’ complicated and simple at the same time, i don’t know how does this technique work!!
It reminds me a little bit of “Classique Essence” from JPG, and the similarity comes from the cream and the vanilla notes,, but i would say this perfume is good for indoors, whereas JPG for outdoors IMHO!
it’s really a unique scent, although the sillage here isn’t that impressive at all!
i recommend it for somebody wants to smell fresh and clean, i find it perfect for the warm weather, definitely not hot!,
FelixDeSuza – :
Beautiful and unique fragrance, the creaminess is addictive. I don’t usually like woody type fragrances but there’s something in this that keeps me going back to it. Stays sweet throughout on my skin with delicious sandalwood mixed with creamy vanilla. Fell in love as soon as I tried it in-store and grabbed a bargain Gift Set in the January sales. Only have to spray a small amount and I can smell it for hours. Love it x
Meffi – :
This is very strong vanilla n sandelwood scent ..
Not foreverybody to wear but it is inoffensive for ppl around u ..
It takes the softness from the cream vip but not the sweetness
It kinda reminds me of lancome hypnose opening ..
It has strong performance
Can be daily or signature scent for lots of ppl
But its not a good complemts getter
dguffinhalli – :
This is fun. I totally get the 90’s vibe. I only have a mini bottle (20mL), which is fine. It’s something I only wear to parties or on nights out with the girls, and the good sillage means you only need to use it once an evening.
FAFANI – :
This is very nice. It is sweet (but not too much), cool and clean. To me, it is unisex. It also has a 90’s vibe, that i don’t know how to explain. It reminded me of Katy Perry’s Indi,even though it shares no notes with this fragrance. It also reminded me of White Musk for men, from TBS, but this one is not so cold.
It is a well crafted perfume, it is pleasant and has personality, but to me it is a bit too cold.
Try this if you´re looking for a light fragrance for winter that has just the right amount of sweetness.
P.s: this would be a safe blind buy and very office-friendly. I wouldn´t use it as a date perfume, though.
habibulin – :
Great, another perfume I HAVE to buy!
I finally found my perfect everyday perfume and I also believe this can be my signature.
I tested this today and I just have to say wow.
Actually I didn’t expect much at all, but this blew me away.
To me, this is like a daydream in a bottle!
It’s winter here in Norway and it fits the season just perfectly!
Sillage and longevity is very good, at least on my skin.
jms240elipseskism – :
My new love! So creamy,soft and delicate,with great longevity and sillage on my skin. It’s ideal for the cold weather now here. I hope to feel the same and after few months through the spring.
madara rokado – :
There is something slightly addictive about the fresh creaminess here. I tested it several times on paper & after the initial strong blast of synthetic wood, there was something that kept pulling me back to it. I caved last week & bought a small 30ml.
I really wish the jasmine & chestnut cream was a lot more prominent. I like it much better on paper because on my skin the synthetic woody note & pepperiness seems to be amplified hugely (actually, it’s relentless) Sadly that’s the bit I don’t like, it’s sharp & pungent on my skin & overwhelms the creamy aspect.
This perfume is a bit out of my comfort zone & not normally the sort of thing I go for, so I really wanted to like it ! I’m going to persevere, but I think perhaps the over powering Cashmeran Wood (or whatever sinus piercing synthetic it is), will defeat me in the end…shame because this could have been really good.
tohi444 – :
“This is Her” is my current day-to-day perfume, and garners many compliments from colleagues and strangers alike. On me, it is a warm, creamy, moderately sweet gourmand, with a woody and powdery base.
To me, it has an overall “unique” quality to it, which is difficult to describe. It certainly has a unisex appeal, that initially put me off purchasing. Now however, I appreciate the “clean” notes that accompany the gourmand notes, which I feel gives this fragrance such a wonderful balance. It’s because of this balance that I haven’t yet tired of this gourmand.
On me, longevity is excellent – my friend regularly tells me how “scrumptious” I smell at the end of they day (12 hours after spraying). Sillage is moderate and appropriate for the sweetness. The fragrance aura (the feeling and mood it creates) on me is an interesting combination of edgy, cosy and alluring.
Very much worth testing if the notes appeal to you.
************************************************
indeec86 – :
Very similar to Lacoste – Eau sensuelle edp to my nose.
Creamy sweet with a light touch of boozy fruits.
Sillage pretty close to the skin, longevity -6, 7 hours.
A comforting hedonistic scent goes well on those colder, rainier days (haven’t tried it in the summer but I have a feeling it wouldn’t be as good).
fille_vierge – :
Dessert made of cream and chestnut whipped on plastic. The same plastic base you can feel in most of Victoria Secret perfumes. The scent is interesting, futuristic, I would wear it for Star War theme party.
vladimirzz – :
this is very woody. have been wearing it all day. respraying.
it begins with sweetness, but I am not smelling what everyone else is. this does not smell like that pictorial notes thingie up there. don’t judge by that. mostly of whipped cream!???! and vanilla!? those two notes are there, exquisitely blended in this composition. it smells mostly of woods. whether that is erm “sandalwood” and “cashmere woods” or both. not gourmand. not today. but my nose amplifies sweetness in a cyclical way – 2 weeks later, a sickly sweetness becomes perfectly balanced and lovely. so don’t take my word for it. today, She is perfect.
anyone reading my reviews know i have a thing about nose burning domineering woodsy notes. well this might have a splash of the offending woods, but it smells gorgeous and is a delight to wear. it’s all about balance and chemistry isn’t it?
I might have known that Michel Almairac was behind this one. I enjoy all his creations. am pleased I purchased a back up and the bottle is really nice to hold, despite mine arriving without a cap!
it reminds me of Vetiver Insolent and dries down beautifully to creamy lush woods – which is what I thought Tam Dao might do for me, but was disappointed to discover it faded away before the dry down, all limpid and ashy dry.
i would recommend This is Her! to woodsy lovers, who don’t mind a blast of sweetness.
Farecoolbor – :
Love this!!! it’s the most complimented fragrance I own. I used my last little bit today so it’s time for another bottle
spensor88 – :
The notes on this one are right up my alley, but there is something about it that doesn’t suit me.
On the initial spray there are definite reminders of womanity, which is not a bad thing, but the middle notes are more juicy fruit gum than I can tolerate. sweet, but not in a subtle way. Bit of a miss on the branding, to my eye.
This is an ok perfume but not for me.
mirij1976 – :
This scent is quite unique and I have never smelt anything like it before. It’s well blended and you either hate it or adore it. Not a safe blind buy… I get vanilla cupcakes and then something fresh and almost minty. It’s a weird one to explain!Longevity is average but I love it still
Jolka – :
When first sprayed, it smelled quite heavy and sweet. I guess it’s all the cream and vanilla. In a colder weather, it can stay like that for a very long time, which i’m not a fan of as it seems cloying. But… once the drydown starts, it’s absolutely gorgeous. Very pleasant, slightly powdery skin scent. I think it is better suited for warmer weather, when it has a chance to develop more.
nikolayks – :
I tried it today at the department store and it reminds me of a milkier version of Infusion D’ Iris of Prada, only with much greater projection and longevity. Clean, sexy, fresh, powdery, amazing for millennials.
I don’t think it’s a night out perfume, but it’s suitable for early fall work days, non-offensive and chic. Will probably give it a shot.
glamurik7 – :
I concur with Pinja, this is something between Prada Candy and Mugler Womanity, with a milky quality added. It’s a sweet, powdery, milky and slightly figgy creation. Tasty. It also smells like a sweeter and creamier version of Bal d’Afrique by Byredo.
Makananinenxai – :
This reminds me of several other perfumes. At first it is sweet caramel like Prada Candy. Then the kind of metallic insect repellant as in Mugler Womanity (this is not a bad thing, the old “OFF” insect repellant smells nice to me, and I love that accord in Womanity). And finally the drydown with cashmere wood scent smells like Calvin Klein Reveal and Bvlgari Aqua Divina.
Edit: After 5-6 hours the late drydown is a soft, milky, creamy, vanillic, nutty skinscent.
rus197925 – :
i love this perfume!
at first you get pepper and something salty, and then it smells very unique i cant put my finger on what it is…but it smells like nothing ive smelled Before….i was surprised. i have bought 30 ml perfume, earlier i had the rollerball 7 ml, but i need to SPRAY this Lovely perfume on me
россул – :
Smells amazing on my skin, probably the best perfume on me i’ve ever had. Have to add that Portrait of a Lady smells like total crap on me so This is Her might be the complete opposite! Therefor, i recommend anyone who can’t wear portrait to try this one!
sag81 – :
Wow. This never happened before.
I was looking for something powdery and milky to add to my collection and when I got a sample of This is Her, I thought I had found it. Wore it for three days straight, fell in love and bought the bottle.
Boy. I don’t know what happened after that but I can’t wear this at all. Gave it multiple tries but it gives me a headache. Instead of powdery, edgy and milky, I now get sour, nutty and overpowering jasmine. Nope nope nope. Now I’m stuck with a big bottle!
arbuz2001 – :
Surprisingly it strongly reminds me of philosykos by diptyque.Same creamy sweet scent,good longevity and sillage,nice pricetag,very femiline albeit not something trully unique.
njolegs – :
Smells amazing on a paper, but not so great on (my) skin.
twaqoirjrt – :
When I first saw the bottle of This Is Her I imagined a fresh, clean scent. I was surprised and intrigued when I saw the notes and reviews on here.
The first spray is fresh with a lot of spicy pink pepper.
But soon it becomes very sticky sweet with a cotton candy fun fair vibe. I smell vanilla and some woody notes (the typical synthetic smelling cashmere wood), too. It’s pleasant, but also generic.
Later the fragrance becomes more woody and a bit less sweet, the drydown is even comforting and warm.
I can’t detect any fruity or floral notes in this perfume at all. Everything is very dense and it’s a strong scent.
I don’t find This Is Her to be dark or clean or both, as the promo text says, but very creamy.
Most prominent notes to me are whipped cream, vanilla and cashmere wood.
I really like the drydown, but I don’t think I would buy the fragrance, as the heart is too sticky and common for my taste.
mikro87 – :
I am confused. Tried this in the store just by sniffing the bottle ( I know, not a proper way of testing but I had just applied perfume on my skin already ánd I was in a hurry). Verdict: like! Then I researched it online and saw basically 99% positive reviews, when I say positive I mean lyrical reviews. So much praise. I also really liked the notes listed and the description. So I thought it would be a safe sort-of-blind-buy. Bought the 100ml gift set because it had a price reduction and received it the next day.
Oh boy. Feels like such a waste of money now. I have tried it several times by now and can’t seem to like it. Trust me, I want to so badly! It reminds me of plastic or something else synthetical. My nose is simply offended. Maybe it will be better in the fall or winter, I’m kinda hoping for and betting on that now…
vall666 – :
A unique fragrance which I imagine wears amazingly on the right person. Unfortunately, the right person is not me. The chestnut note smells like burnt plastic on my skin (an interesting experience in itself but one I wouldn’t want to relive everyday). Try before you buy.
Riscfn – :
The best thing about this perfume is that it’s not just like any other one.
Surprisingly, but all the notes from perfume pyramid are there, and all are noticeable according to user’s vote. Cream and vanilla notes dominate, but cream scent is more like sour cream unlike other “cream based” perfume.
It stays close to your skin, and should not be over-sprayed while trying to increase sillage. Because this perfume is delicate and intimate by it’s nature.
tanuyha – :
There is candy and there is cotton. This is candy cotton. I dont like it, its overwelming in a bad and choking way. The male version This Is Him is fantastic though. I would wear that one on myself.
Edit: Maybe I was too hard in my review. I smelled This Is Her the next day on my clothes and I must say: that was lovely. I couldn’t stop sniffing on the sleeves of my leather jacket. So if you don’t like it on your skin, maybe you like it on your clothes. The longevity is excellent.
pioppexidgigo – :
The Notes sounds pretty nice, but the scent smells so aweful to me, sry for the people who like it. I didnt even spray it on me! my sister was testing this today and i just smell it everyhwere… even if she isnt around me, gives me such a neausea and headache. I think its such an unnatural smell, and definitively very masculine…maybe it comes from the chestnut or its my sense of smell, but its really not my cup of tea. just be careful with spraying this, it seems it lasts a lifetime :S
CenceDatt – :
This was such a surprise for me, Was chatting to a SA and sniffing a few fragrances on Friday morning. He sprayed this perfume on me and we let it settle .. WOW !!! This is not something I would usually go for but its getting cold here now and I was craving a snuggly Fragrance.
This is amazing , like nothing I have ever tried before . Its soft, cuddly, warm and absolutely delicious ( and not in the food way)!! My Husband loves this on me. This is a pure vanilla with a touch of Jasmine on me. It lasts all day. I bought myself a bottle the very next day.
vitek# – :
It’s been 4 days now since u tried this on my wrist, i didn’t like it, there is something that reminds me of j’adore i guess it’s the silk tree blossom, it is sooooo long lastin on clothes, it’s still going strong on my jacket sleeve wich makes me wanna wash the jacket, i don’t know how long it stays on skin cause after 2 hours or so i had to wash my wrist, the projection seemed to be good couse my brother started sniffing me cause he smelt something but couldn’t understand where it came from, then i ofered him my wrist to smell and he didn’t like it either, there”s something oily in it that make me dislike it, anyway in my opinion it is veryyyy long lastin on clothes
eurostar – :
It’s wonderful but I detect something salty, just like in Samsara (they are NOT alike) and find that it quite beautifully balances the sweetness of the fragrance. Anyone else?
magwai69 – :
I am so happy that I decided to buy this,
the more I use it the more I love it.
It’s as if it “grows close” to the skin the more you use it.
It’s quite unisex, warm, sweet but not too sweet, sensual,
and pretty classy in my opinion.
This might sound silly, but it makes me think of
the photoshoot of Marilyn Monroe laying naked in
bed with the white sheets. Cozy, sexy, yet classy.
The longevity is very good on me,
I put it on in the morning around 6 am and I can still feel it when I get home from work at 5 pm.
I have gotten a lot of compliments by this both by men and women, my boss asked me to stay in the room just because of this perfume so I am hoping for a raise.
Just kidding, but really, it’s a lovely perfume and I am glad people around me like it as much as I do.
Данил – :
I really like this. It’s definitely unisex to my nose. It almost crosses the border on being a little too masculine for me, but it’s so pleasing to my nose that I don’t care lol. I plan on getting a bigger bottle of this.
Edit* My new signature scent! Absolutely love this, plus my husband really likes it so, that’s always a huge plus:)
tovard – :
wow! i havent smelled anything like this. its very hard to explain how it smells..but i can say it is unique and it stings like a bee in your nose in a good way, because it really smells good!
volk- odinokij – :
This reminds me of quite a few other perfumes, it’s fashionable, dare I say ‘generic’ (over-used word here I know!), but it does have quite a nice effect, especially when it wafts past the nostrils unexpectedly. I like the nutty note and definitely notice sandalwood. It’s quite easy on the nose.
The only gripe I have is there’s a too much sugary vanilla at first, that will make it popular since most people want sweet perfumes these days, to me it would be great with less vanilla, but then it would be similar to Tam Dao, so I’d just get Tam Dao instead!
Into drydown (about two hours) it’s a skin scent, and less sweet, I like it more at this stage
anertilla – :
This Is Her is the epitome of fashionable. It’s an in-your-face sugary cream undercut with harsh cashmerey musk, bare hints of chestnut and pink pepper. I’ve had the spray card in my bag for the last couple of days and every time I open it people go, “oh my god..”, it’s really that good. Shame about the bottle, I’m not sure I like it, but the juice is yum.
BukS – :
The sweetness creaminess is too much! Otherwise would be perfect. Anybody know similar but less sweet?
super.kavkaz07 – :
I know I have strange skin, its dry and many notes turn maleish on me – also this one. I think here is the Sandalwood/ Cashmere wood too strong. A very nice and almost skinclose scent for a daring man who likes to be in between the female or man field of scents. A come-and-hug-me-scent indeed
Jag vet att jag har en konstig hudtyp, den är torr och många doftnoter blir manliga på mig -även denna. Här tror jag att Sandelträ och Cashmereträ är för tydliga. En otroligt härlig och relativt hudnära doftt för mannen som flyter mellan skikten av kvinnliga o manliga dofter. En kom-å-krama-mig-doft.
intistask – :
The dry down of This is Her reminds me so much of the dry down of Santal 33 by Le Labo! I despised the harsh, vegetal opening of Santal 33, but adored its comforting, mysterious dry down.
This one, on the other hand, is perfection! I don’t think they are identical by any means, but their dry down has the same vibe going on.
Thus said, I personally much prefer This is Her, with its creamy, delicious opening, which is carried through the inviting dry down, where the woodsyness comes through. Also, I sprayed this twice on my coat sleeve 2 days ago and it’s still going strong! I’m so glad I got the chance to test it. Now I want the full bottle!
Edit: There’s a slight hint of Womanity in there also (maybe because of the saltyness). Still, it stands out on its own.
Urlov – :
I never had as many compliments as I did when wearing this perfume. I tried it at first in my perfume store without much conviction, but when it settled on my skin it was AMAZING. It feels like what I would smell like when I am baking my favorite cookies but in a more sophisticated way. It smells like a comfortable wintery sunday afternoon. A lot of my friends tried it but it only smelled that good on me. It lasts the whole day and the sillage is very good, but again it was not the case for my friends. Thank you skin chemistry! This is now my favorite perfume <3
jank69 – :
Ah totally agree with AnnetteInFrance!!!!! Mostly Must Body shop! Very similar. Ihave been looking for a fragrance that resembles Mostly Musk for ages!!! This is divine. Sweet but not cloying , creamy and peppery! Loooovely!!! Yum!
sverchokseek – :
This reminds me of a 90s The Body Shop perfume oil called Mostly Musk. This to me is unisex. Pleasant. Soapy.
softikdpro – :
hazelnut crème and sandal wood?
oh yum! Smells very sexy, the kind of scent that makes the wearer biteable!
oh nom nom nom!
And at around a dollar a mill? very affordable !!
I love this and can’t wait to buy the “mens” version.
I was told by a sales assistant they are designed for sharing and layering.
I think both could pass as unisex because as sweet as this one goes on there’s a masculine edge to the dry down.
Bottles an interesting concept it’s fit with its black counterpart.
scent 8/10
Bottle 6/10
donil.777 – :
If I had known the notes before testing I would never have tried it, but I love it!
It’s very unique. Creamy but vibrant. Woody and peppery but nothing is overdone. My husband absolutely loves this fragrance and he thinks all others are average at best.
A new fave. I’m very surprised as I usually go for fresher scents maybe it’s the vibrant peppery elements that make it work for me.

I really thought I would like this from the notes but it’s a strong dislike for me. There’s some really odd artificial note in there that overwhelms everything and makes it completely unwearable.

It’s super sweet and creamy, a great gourmand for cold weather. I love the chestnut note, it reminds me of Mirage daydream by Oriflame. Silage is great, but do not oversparay, especially in confined spaces.

Lovely blend. Nothing crazy, new or innovative, but a good perfume and a nice scent.
Basically two stages: one is the sweet creamy vanilla and the next is a mesmerizing sandalwood. One might have told that their two different perfumes. It is sharper than Dolce&Gabanna Pour Femme. Beware because it acts differently on skins, you might intensify the cream and vanilla without the sandalwood.
Drydown: creamy and sandalwood
Nothing over the top in the juice, notes harmoniously blended. A tamed sandalwood that deepens the scent. Starts fresh and turns sweet quite fast but moderately sweet, nothing sugary, on the verge of gourmand. A light spicy note, pink pepper maybe balancing, preventing it being utterly sweet.
A yes from me; although I’m not rushing to buy it.
