This Is Her! Red Hot by Zadig & Voltaire: a Leather Fragrance with Blackberry and Jasmine

Zadig & Voltaire has expanded its This Is Her! collection with a new women's fragrance that feels both bold and refined. This Is Her! Red Hot, released in 2026, sits in the Leather olfactory family and offers a striking blend of dark fruit, white flowers and a smoky leather base.

Composed by perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur, the fragrance opens with blackberry (sometimes described as black raspberry), moves into a jasmine heart and finishes on a leather note with animalic and smoky undertones. It is a modern take on the house's familiar tension between edge and elegance.

The opening is all about the blackberry. It's a ripe, slightly tart fruit note that feels more dark and juicy than candied. There's a subtle sweetness right from the start, but it never becomes cloying—thanks to the leather that waits in the background.

Jasmine takes centre stage in the heart, bringing a soft white floral glow to the composition. This isn't a dewy, innocent blossom; it's warm and velvety, adding a touch of sophistication without dulling the character of the perfume. It smooths the passage between fruit and leather.

At the base, leather dominates. The note is polished rather than raw, with a smoky, slightly animalic edge and a sweet undertone that lingers on the skin. Over time, the leather softens, allowing the jasmine to peek through the drydown.

The accords here are leather, fruity, animalic, white floral, sweet and smoky. They work together to create a fragrance that feels both feminine and untamed. The contrast of bright jasmine against dark berry and smouldering leather gives This Is Her! Red Hot its distinctive personality.

This scent will appeal to women who like to make an entrance without shouting. It is particularly well suited to evenings, dinners or cool days when a warm, enveloping fragrance feels right. It also rewards those who enjoy discovering how a perfume changes on their own skin.

Women who love leather perfumes with a fruity, floral twist, especially those who like their fragrance to feel confident, smoky and a little mysterious.

This Is Her! Red Hot is a striking new release from Zadig & Voltaire, and its current average of 3.54 out of 5 from 37 ratings suggests it will divide opinion. That sense of intrigue is part of its charm. If you're after a leather-based scent that balances sweetness and smoke with an elegant floral heart, this is well worth trying.
