Zadig & Voltaire launches ZADIG in 2025, an Eau de Parfum by Amandine Clerc-Marie and Florian Gallo. The composition pairs a duo of black and white sesame with orange blossom, over a base of roasted vanilla and creamy sandalwood. The house describes it as the emblem of a generation in search of freedom, carried by a wing-shaped bottle, as much a fashion accessory as a talisman.
