This is Her! by Zadig & Voltaire Eau de Parfum
This is Her! blends Parisian spirit and rock energy into an amber floral composition with a milky texture and soft wood. Its distinctive chestnut note gives it a personality all its own, leaving a warm, feminine, and enveloping trail that melds naturally into the skin.
WHAT DOES THIS IS HER! SMELL LIKE?
This is Her! is a floral, creamy, and woody fragrance that smells primarily of jasmine, vanilla, and sandalwood, with a spiced touch of pink pepper and a distinctive note of creamy chestnut. It has a sensual and effortless character — not too sweet, not too heavy.
When you first spray it, what you notice is a combination of aromatic jasmine and mildly spicy pink pepper. It's a lively, floral opening that grabs your attention without being overwhelming, and it lasts a few minutes before giving way to the next phase.
Over time, the scent shifts toward its warmer, more indulgent side: a chestnut cream blended with soft vanilla, like the smell of a lightly toasted, milky dessert — without ever crossing into cloying territory.
What ultimately lingers on your skin is a warm, enveloping base: sandalwood, a soft and slightly creamy wood that adds warmth without feeling dry or sharp, alongside a synthetic musky-velvety molecule that rounds everything out with smoothness. The result is an intimate, feminine scent that melds into your skin's warmth and stays close — without fading away.

Michel Almairac
Michel Almairac, a French perfumer born in Grasse in 1953, trained at the Roure Bertrand Dupont school. Throughout his career, he collaborated with fragrance houses including Robertet, Takasago, Creations Aromatiques, and Drom. He created olfactory identities for iconic brands such as Gucci, Dior, Burberry, and Chloé — to which he gave its global olfactory signature in 2008.
Among his most celebrated creations are Eau de Gucci, Joop! Homme, and L'Artisan Voleur de Roses. Together with his son Benjamin, he founded the family fragrance brand Parle Moi de Parfum.
Recognized for his mastery of natural ingredients and his ability to capture the essence of brands in elegant, harmonious fragrances, he received the honorary award from the François Coty Association for his enduring creativity.
Sidonie Lancesseur
Sidonie Lancesseur, a French perfumer, discovered her passion for scent in childhood through the smells of the French countryside. She trained at the prestigious ISIPCA school and began her career at Robertet, where she was mentored by Michel Almairac. She also collaborated with IFF and Symrise.
Specializing in elegant, minimalist fragrances inspired by nature, with a preference for woody notes such as patchouli and vetiver, she created compositions for brands including By Kilian, Zadig & Voltaire, and Frapin.
Among her most celebrated creations are Straight to Heaven, Black Phantom, This is Her, and Frapin 1270. Recognized for her ability to translate emotions and memories into perfume, Lancesseur built her reputation as an influential perfumer through her authentic style and her deep connection with natural materials.
Aromatic Notes
Parfumo lists the same notes without organizing them into phases: chestnut, vanilla, sandalwood, pink pepper, and sambac jasmine.
Fragrantica, however, documents a full olfactory pyramid:
| Source | Top Notes | Heart Notes | Base Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fragrantica | Silkwood Blossom, Sambac Jasmine, Pink Pepper | Chestnut, Whipped Cream, Vanilla | Cashmere Wood, Sandalwood |
Olfactory Family
| Source | Olfactory Family | Mentioned Accords |
|---|---|---|
| Zadig & Voltaire | Floral Woody | Floral, Woody, Sensual |
| Fragrantica | Oriental Vanilla | Vanilla, Sweet, Woody, Balsamic, Powdery, Lactonic, Warm Spicy, Soft Spicy, Musky, Amber |
| Parfumo | Creamy-Sweet | Creamy, Sweet, Powdery, Woody, Synthetic, Spicy |
According to the standard of the French Society of Perfumers, This Is Her! falls within the amber family, specifically the amber floral woody subfamily, due to the predominance of vanilla and creamy chestnut over a base of sandalwood and cashmere wood, with sambac jasmine supporting the floral dimension of the composition.
The lactonic gourmand accord of whipped cream reinforces the fragrance's enveloping sweetness, though it functions more as a textural nuance within the main amber accord than as an independent structural axis.
Olfactory Development
The work of perfumers Sidonie Lancesseur and Michel Almairac —from the house of Robertet— aimed, in the words of Zadig & Voltaire's artistic director Cecilia Bönström, to find "a balance of something really clean and something darker, more mysterious."
