Zadig Eau de Parfum

When a bottle looks magnificent, be aware I would say. Z&V house always creates nice and charismatic perfumes with their characteristic sandalwood/musky base. I don't know why, the opening was very promising. Sesame is something that I admire in creations and you don't see it regularly. Then, I get the exact same 'sweetness' of VLJ-Noir from JC (without having in the composition anything like berries BUT orange blossom/white flowers/vanilla? Hello, we meet again). I even see people that voted for Cheirosa 62 so our noses still work well thank God. All in all, it's a nice sweet and creamy perfume. If I hadn't the This is her EDP, I would gladly add it to my collection. When I see Clenc-Marie in the perfumers (one of the main stars of La nuit tresor EDP from Lancôme) I am sure that the gourmandise base will be guaranteed. That Chantilly cream combined with orange blossom gives you vibes of a orangie milky delight but the sandalwood makes it more perfum-y and rounds the composition. Sillage is bellow average but lasting power is OK.

to me it's a creamy and almost salty vanilla combined with neroli and orange blossom. I can imagine the popular hot girl using this as her signature scent. It reminds me of the Cool Girl monologue in Gone Girl: "Men always say that as the defining compliment, don’t they? She’s a cool girl. Being the Cool Girl means I am a hot, brilliant, funny woman who adores football, poker, dirty jokes, and burping, who plays video games, drinks cheap beer, loves threesomes and anal sex, and jams hot dogs and hamburgers into her mouth like she’s hosting the world’s biggest culinary gang bang while somehow maintaining a size 2, because Cool Girls are above all hot. Hot and understanding. Cool Girls never get angry; they only smile in a chagrined, loving manner and let their men do whatever they want. Go ahead, shit on me, I don’t mind, I’m the Cool Girl.". I just want to smell nice and get everyone's attention. I want to feel I'm the one you wished you were or were with.

I've had the opportunity to sample 5 Zadig & Voltaire fragrances for the first time and I found myself impressed with everything I smelt. Let me tell you about Zadig. I had no plans to test this fragrance being more interested in This is her and her friends, but I am glad I went along with it. Other than sesame, I smell all the notes and I like very much what I smell. The pepper notes balance the vanilla - cream dominant notes and the white florals further mellow it. If you said this fragrance had cashmeran, I'd believe it. There is a luxuriousness to the scent that I like very much. A strong like for the books. PS, the bottle is not ugly. It will require space as it sits horizontally but it has a certain allure to its (for lack of a better word) uniqueness.

Okay so I just blind buy this perfume and it's quite surprising. Never tried any sesame scents and this one is so accurate! At first I smell pepper, some floral notes and citrus ones then the besttttt ; sesame, the vanilla and the well sugar balanced whipped cream 😍. I'm a gourmand lover and this one is just amazing, not too sweet but enough and it seems like the sesame note become more and more grilled during the day, I love it! An everyday perfume for me, probably good for a romantic day date. I can see myself on a coffee run wearing this too. It reminds me of a japanese old house with a grandma making some delicious dishes. The bottle is pretty and not common. 9/10 UPDATE : it dried to an almost nutty scent.. it truly smells amazing!

I can't understand the bad reviews. The scent is great and the bottle is absolutely stunning. I had never imagined a sesame note in a fragrance, but it is perfect with the vanilla. It is not an ordinary vanilla that smells like cake or cookies. There is something different about it. Creamy and soft, but it is not a 'good girl' perfume. There is something wild about it. It easily can be a signature scent. I fell in love with this fragrance when I first smelled it, and I've never gotten bored of wearing it. I don't understand how it hasn't gone viral; the bottle alone is enough. I wish it had better longevity and sillage, but then again, I don't care. It is perfect and always will be my favorite.
