This Is Her! Zadig & Voltaire 2016

"This is her" was one of the first fragrances I became aware of here at Parfumo and it didn't take long until a bottle was allowed to move in with me - blind purchase. The initial enthusiasm turned into overload, as I have not really smelled such a dense fragrance before, especially not repeatedly in the form of wrist-to-nose.... and so he was allowed to hastily leave my collection again, despite the fact that he actually smelled good and also my friend found him very positive - the world of perfumes was too big to have perfumes in my collection that overwhelm me, I thought.
A little while ago, I was strolling through the perfume section of the big G's and by chance rediscovered "this is her," which had been floating around in my head on and off. So I sniffed it with my "now" nose and it immediately triggered a "crap, why did I give it away then??!" in me. I have been able to test so many fragrances in a short time now, many came & went and yet shortly after re-testing it, I decided to let "this is her" move back in with me. And it has earned its place in my small, select collection simply 100%. Hardly any other fragrance puts me in such a relaxed and cuddly mood as this one does. It's really very dense, it doesn't smell 0815 at all and is also somehow "edible" due to the chestnut, it's cozy and warm, yet fluffy and wearable for almost all occasions, I think. Maybe it was exactly this complexity that scared me off at the time, but now I'm even more happy that I've found my way back to it and that it's allowed to enrich my collection.
I can only recommend a test, who feels addressed by the fragrance notes - it's worth it and you actually get exactly what the fragrance notes promise. A great chestnut vanilla sandalwood cuddler ?
Durability and sillage is also good and keeps so his 6-7 hours, until he then fades - which is also good, because otherwise he would possibly start to stress
