Zadig & Voltaire This Is Her is an oriental vanilla built around pink pepper, whipped cream and sandalwood, and Maids Scents carries the authentic Eau de Parfum with delivery across Nigeria and beyond.
What is Zadig & Voltaire This Is Her?
Zadig & Voltaire This Is Her launched in September 2016, created by perfumer duo Sidonie Lancesseur and Michel Almairac, alongside a matching men’s fragrance called This Is Him.
Zadig & Voltaire is a French fashion house known for a boho, rock-chic aesthetic with a distinct edge, and Zadig & Voltaire This Is Her was built to reflect that identity in scent form. The brand’s artistic director at the time described the goal as finding a balance between something really clean and something darker and more mysterious, rather than a straightforward, conventional floral.
The bottle design reflects that same philosophy, with a distinctive cracked-edge glass finish in white for the women’s version and black for the men’s. Sandalwood was specifically chosen as a signature material across the pair, tying the two scents together.
Since launch, the This Is Her name has grown into a small family of related fragrances, including an Intense flanker and other variations, so it’s worth confirming you’re getting the original 2016 formulation described here if that’s specifically what you’re after.
Fragrance Profile
Zadig & Voltaire This Is Her opens with pink pepper, silkwood blossom and jasmine sambac, bright and slightly spicy rather than a conventional soft floral opening.
As it develops, the heart brings in whipped cream, vanilla and chestnut, creating a creamy, gourmand character that reviewers consistently praise as the fragrance’s standout feature.
The base settles into sandalwood and cashmere wood, warm and smooth, giving Zadig & Voltaire This Is Her a cozy, addictive finish rather than a sharp or heavy dry-down.
Top Notes: Pink Pepper, Silkwood Blossom, Jasmine Sambac
Heart Notes: Whipped Cream, Vanilla, Chestnut
Base Notes: Sandalwood, Cashmere Wood
Reviewer feedback is genuinely detailed and largely enthusiastic. One wearer describes the pepper note as lasting from the very opening through to the final dry-down, calling it recognisable and special enough to feel like a signature scent. Another specifically praises how it rides the line between gourmand and fresh sophistication rather than tipping too far into either category. Interestingly, at least one male wearer describes it as perfectly unisex, noting the opening reads more feminine before settling into something more masculine after about an hour.
Who Should Wear This Is Her?
Zadig & Voltaire This Is Her suits women who want a warm, spiced gourmand rather than a straightforward sweet vanilla or classic floral. Given genuine reviewer feedback describing it as wearable by men too, it also works as a distinctive unisex option for anyone drawn to its pepper-and-cream character.
It’s particularly well suited to colder months and evening wear, though its balanced sophistication means it holds up for daytime occasions too.
Performance and Longevity
Reviewer reports on Zadig & Voltaire This Is Her vary somewhat, with some describing nice projection lasting around four hours, while the pepper note specifically is noted as persisting throughout the entire wear.
Two to three sprays on pulse points is a sensible starting point.
Best Time to Wear This Is Her in Nigeria
Given its warm, spiced, creamy character, Zadig & Voltaire This Is Her suits Nigeria’s harmattan season particularly well, where cooler, drier air lets the sandalwood and cashmere wood base develop fully.
It also works well for evening wear year-round in air-conditioned settings.
