This Is Her! Undressed by Zadig & Voltaire

I don’t understand the negative reviews, especially the comparison to clean bottoms with wet wipes. Seriously, what are you smoking? Apart from nonsense, it smells like a childish cologne without being one: it’s the memory of my mother tidying me up before school. That scent fades in 10-15 minutes and when it dries, it reminds me of This Is Her, but more tamed, less green and more floral. I’ve been complimented a lot, especially by young girls. I see it as ideal for gifting to a 16-17-year-old, though it’s lovely for any age and season. In short, it’s a crisp scent. I already have a refill for the first bottle.

I didn’t like the dry-down at all; it smelled like baby powder, though the projection is incredible. It smells super clean, even though I’m not a huge fan of that kind of fragrance (I prefer something more potent rather than soapy).

If you liked it better, don’t read the reviews 😭. I loved it from the first moment. It seemed sensual, like bare woman’s skin. The name and concept were spot on. It has sandalwood and soft musk, but with its own personality. Then you read comments from people who associate it with disgusting things and it gives them nausea. It never crossed my mind, maybe a damp wipe, but for others it reminds them of worse things. Save yourself the insistence on disgust, for God’s sake. Everyone has their own references.

Found this perfume today and it drove me wild. It smells clean yet has depth, something animalic, perhaps the skin note. On my skin, it’s fantastic. It’s one of the most sensual scents I’ve ever smelled, without being heavy or overwhelming. Reminded me of Dior Addict, but without its overpowering nature. When it dries down, there’s a hint of sweetness. It’s fascinating. I love that it’s not popular. It’s truly unique.

At first, it won me over. It seemed new, different, with a very pleasant warm touch. However, the more I wore it, the more it tired me out. I received no compliments and it gave me a suffocating sensation, like being inside a sticky sauna. The scent is pleasant but lacks freshness or lightness. Today I wore it at 32 degrees and I was desperate to take off my clothes as soon as I got home. It works better in winter, but ultimately, it becomes tiresome.

I don’t know why it’s so criticised. It’s a rarity, something difficult to describe. I love all Zadig and Voltaire scents; they’re brilliant. My favourite is This Is Her normal; I adore it. But this is like a more everyday, all-weather version. They all share a very similar base, I think it’s that delicious smoky and creamy sandalwood. This one has ginger in the opening and what’s identifiable is lots of musk and sandalwood. I’d like to use it for layering because it has a vibe similar to Narciso Rodríguez’s Musc. Oh, I can feel it like a milky, sweet second skin… I simply love it.

I’m obsessed. I bought Crystal Noir and regretted it, so I returned the next day for this one. It’s almost my signature scent. What a gem; I’m in love with that false innocence, especially at the start. It reminds me of something from the past, familiar and comforting, nothing like the original. It might sound like an Armani from the 90s, clean and sexy, with a touch of human maternal warmth. I’m a bit harsh on Amarige and perhaps I see that 80s yellow floral in it. I understand the skin note might confuse some, just like in Narciso, but here it’s softened, clean and pristine. Addictive. Oh! It smells like those white flowers from Fleur du Male. The longevity is good; it lasted late into the night, and the next day it still smelled on my neck and hair. I reapplied once.

I liked it when I tried it, but later it seemed just like Jean Paul’s Classic.

I’m absolutely loving this fragrance; it’s super distinct from the others. The only drawback is that it doesn’t last very long and the trail is almost non-existent, what a pity. However, reading other reviews, I see I’m not the only one 😉

Sandalwood, bergamot, rose, amber, almond, mandarin, coconut, pear, ginger, nardos… A wonderful ode to bare female skin. It’s a delight, very beautiful and delicate. The first on my list of favourites.

I found it as a sample when buying another perfume; I fell in love at first sight and bought it straight away. I absolutely adore it; it’s a delight for the senses.

Incredible perfume for my taste. It’s like walking into an esoteric shop. It has lots of sandalwood mixed with spices. It relaxes me a lot and puts me in a good mood. I’d say it’s very unisex. Original, bravo to the brand.

It has me completely obsessed. With the exception of ‘This is him’, the male releases don’t hook me as much as the female ones, which are the brand’s strong suit. This ‘This is her! Undressed’ is a delight, both on skin and clothes. It conveys a good vibe and total cleanliness. Many compliments when wearing it. A 10.

What a pity, but this smells like zero chemistry on my skin. The dry-down is a dirty musk, neither clean nor animal, but damp and ancient, like a mouldy spot. Perhaps that skin note or the salty touches aren’t working, leaving an unpleasant trail. Warning: it has nothing to do with the rest of the line, so don’t buy it blindly.

It has me hooked. Apart from ‘This is Him’, none of their men’s launches grab me, but the women’s are the brand’s strong suit. This ‘This is Her Undressed’ is a treat on my skin and clothes. It radiates a good vibe and cleanliness. I get many compliments when I wear it. A solid 10.
