Zadig L’Intense is an eau de parfum intense for women by Zadig & Voltaire, launched in 2026 as the first variation on ZADIG. Signed by Amandine Clerc-Marie and Florian Gallo, it is classed by the house among floral woody fragrances and opens on black and golden sesame, ginger and incense, ahead of an orange blossom heart and a base of vanilla, sandalwood and guaiac.
Angélina, of the blog Ambiance & Fragrance, credits it with real personality: warmer, deeper and more enveloping than ZADIG, whose luminous, comforting side it leaves behind, the fragrance strikes her as made for autumn and winter.
Olfastory’s review
Far from the original, but personal
On August 11, 2026, Angélina, of the blog Ambiance & Fragrance, who says she loves ZADIG, finds that Zadig L’Intense moves away from the original signature: the luminous, comforting side disappears, but in her eyes the fragrance gains real personality.
Sesame, orange blossom and woods
She finds the sesame slightly toasted and warm, the ginger bright and the incense enveloping in a smoky veil. The orange blossom seems soft, velvety and less solar than elsewhere to her; the creamy vanilla and sandalwood give the fragrance an almost milky texture.
For her, guaiac adds a smoky facet to the base. Warmer than ZADIG, the fragrance should, in her view, come fully into its own in autumn and winter; the original eau de parfum remains her favorite version.
