Since 2016, Zadig & Voltaire perfumery has shone with its duo of rebellious fragrances. These fragrances are called This is Her and This is Him. Inseparable from one another, they also have the distinction of embodying a new vision of luxury: bolder and untamed. In 2023, still adored by the younger generation and riding on its success, the feminine fragrance This is Her unveils its scent in a brand new, more intimate version: This is Her! Undressed by Zadig & Voltaire.
Since 1997, Thierry Gillier, who is none other than the great-nephew of Lacoste's co-founder, has been shaking up fashion. With bold flair, giving free rein to his creativity, he steers the house of Zadig & Voltaire with a masterful hand. Championing freedom of expression, he takes pleasure in offering us the image of somewhat rebellious men and women in each of his creations. It is in this same spirit that the new feminine fragrance This is Her! Undressed by Zadig & Voltaire fits. Here is our review.

This is Her! Undressed, a genuine turning point in Zadig & Voltaire's collection
This is Her! Undressed by Zadig & Voltaire fits within a large collection of fragrances, while also proving quite different from its predecessors. Indeed, in the first version of This is Her, created in 2016, it was solely the portrait of a rebellious, irreverent woman. Today, Zadig & Voltaire goes further. The woman who wears this fragrance retains a rock 'n' roll edge. However, she is also sincere and authentic. This is Her! Undressed by Zadig & Voltaire is an immersion into her personal world, made of passion, independence, and a zest for life! With This is Her! Undressed by Zadig & Voltaire, a new story begins, which is by no means unwelcome.
This is Her! Undressed by Zadig & Voltaire, between sun-kissed radiance and spicy notes
This paradox between intimacy and freedom is also found in the olfactory notes of this fragrance. Indeed, it clearly plays on contrasts. On one hand, this is a very luminous feminine fragrance. This is Her! Undressed by Zadig & Voltaire contains orange blossom as well as ylang-ylang. These two ingredients are particularly radiant and stand in contrast to a few spicier, more fiery notes. This is Her! Undressed by Zadig & Voltaire notably contains peppery ginger. A salty skin accord is also felt at its heart. Finally, the whole is wrapped in more animalic, creamy touches of sandalwood and musk.
The choice of committed, respectful ingredients
With This is Her! Undressed, Zadig & Voltaire did not choose its ingredients at random and clearly displays its commitment to animal welfare. More specifically, this is a vegan fragrance, meaning it contains no ingredient derived from animals or that could cause them any suffering. Moreover, wherever possible, Zadig & Voltaire chooses to use organic ingredients, as evidenced for instance by its organic sandalwood from Nepal.
This is Her! Undressed, a bottle of multiple contrasts
Finally, for perfect coherence, the contrasts of feminine personality are also present in this fragrance's visual. With it, everything is opposition. Black faces pink. The transparency of this bottle pairs with the opacity of a black cap. The cube is paired with the cylinder. Glass blends beautifully with plastic. Despite these dichotomies, harmony is indeed present. On every level, the challenge is brilliantly met!
