not what I expected
A perfume that I waited a long time to smell because of my love for the brand and that left me a little disappointed.
It's not bad, on the contrary, it's very pleasing. I think it was a more commercial move than a heartfelt one, but the magic created with This is Her has not been repeated here in my opinion. Maybe it will even sell well if the customers don't let themselves be discouraged by the objectively unmanageable and ugly bottle.
If Burberry Goddess and Libre Ysl had a child maybe it would resemble Zadig: sweet sweet, vanilla and orange blossom shot in the face, very important persistence and trail. In fact, I don't find the concept of the fragrance very in line with the result but in the end all the marketing boxes have been ticked

Another harmless floral vanilla
I have smelled many scents like this before, even though I can't put my finger on which ones exactly. It's just that the general scent profile is super common.

The notes of sesame, black sesame and roasted vanilla promised something nutty, savory and smokey, but in reality there's only a very soft hint of sesame in the opening and nothing roasted at all. If you want a roasted, toasty vibe, you're better off with the chestnut note in This is Her!
Vanilla and orange blossom are much more noticeable - two of the most popular notes ever, no wonder this feels familiar. I would describe this vanilla as creamy, bright and sweet, the orange blossom as clean and a bit fruity. It's leaning a bit into fabric softener territory without fully going there.

The overall scent is okay, fine even, and it's also okay that not every perfume reinvents the wheel. Uncomplicated, pleasant daytime scents definitely have their time and place. But this is a bit too boring. I doubt I will remember what this smelled like in a year or two.

Kitschy Outside, Cozy Inside
This perfume gets a lot of hate and, honestly, I think the bottle design has a lot to do with it — first impressions matter, after all... So, does a kitschy bottle mean a bad perfume? Well, not at all.

In fact, I find it quite likeable. It’s a lovely creamy vanilla, with just the right touch of ginger.

Sure, it’s nothing groundbreaking — but it’s genuinely pleasant in its simplicity. I find this Zadig rather charming.

Open sesame - I want to go out
You know when you receive a surprise and you're sure it's going to be a real hit or a pure disappointment? That's exactly how I felt when I was allowed to hold the as yet unreleased sample of this fragrance in my hands 14 days ago. No hype, no reviews, no ratings, no points. So I had no idea what to expect. I didn't even know whether it was a feminine or masculine fragrance.
I only had a sample in my hand and a picture of what was supposed to be the bottle, two angel wings spread wide open. The fragrance notes were printed very small on the back.

Of course I had to test the fragrance immediately. So I sprayed it on. And then ... well .... Then things got interesting ....

First a hint of sesame, not sweet, not flowery, but slightly nutty and warm. After a few minutes, the orange blossom came in, warm, creamy, slightly floral - actually relatively unspectacular. The great top note had already completely disappeared.

And then - BAM! - the disappointment. This was followed by the typical DNA of This Is Her!. Light sandalwood and bland vanilla.
I would not have perceived the vanilla as roasted, but I would have said it was a salted vanilla. But not a nice vanilla, a totally uninteresting vanilla, very bland and meaningless. Very, very weak on the chest.

All that remains after 30 minutes is a bland salted vanilla that has a sweaty note.

Too bad, I wanted to like this fragrance. Found this experiment totally exciting, but as good as the notes read, the scent didn't pick me up at all. This mixture of nutty sesame, orange blossom and roasted vanilla doesn't feel harmonious to me at all.

My conclusion? Open sesame and let me out of here. - And close the door!

Great modern women's mainstream
The bottle of the new Zadig & Voltaire fragrance for women is an eye-catcher in itself. Also a way to get attention. Quite pretty in itself, but rather problematic for a collection in terms of space. Visually, however, this wing with silver elements looks quite good. In terms of fashion and style, this brand is definitely right up there. I like it and I also like wearing it. The fragrances have also been quite good so far. Especially the endless series This is Him! and This is Her! are quite popular and convince with great fragrances suitable for everyday use.
Here comes a very fresh women's release called Zadig. The first impressions and ratings here are rather modest and with 6.5 this one is already in the gray mediocrity. First of all, I can say that this fragrance is not extremely innovative and does not reinvent the wheel. Nevertheless, I have to give it a slight thumbs up, as it is a pleasant and easy-to-wear women's fragrance that will certainly appeal to the masses. Anyone looking for something along the lines of "mindblowing" is rather wrong here.

However, I find the RRP of this fragrance rather cheeky, like so many new women's releases. This fragrance is available in 30, 50 and 90ml. They are also refillable and there is a 150ml refill. The price of 72€ per 30ml is completely exaggerated in my opinion. The other ranges of this brand are much more convincing. The price will certainly fall, but that will take a few more months.
As I said, the bottle is ambivalent. Difficult for the collection, but nice to look at. Just a typical mainstream bottle.
The release is very mainstream in terms of fragrance type. Anyone expecting something very special will be disappointed. Nevertheless, this is a fragrance that I would love to smell on women. A sweet-floral fragrance that is also slightly creamy and gourmand. The pyramid is not quite complete here, as ginger and pepper are missing in the top note and Chantilly cream, which is sweetened whipped cream, is missing in the base. Sounds good already.
First and foremost, this is an orange blossom fragrance with a good dose of sweetness. A lovely warm spiciness from ginger and a light sesame note are also present for the first few hours. The heart of orange blossom & neroli is very pleasant and this is perceptible right through to the base. A great creamy-sweet orange blossom that is very pleasing and fits perfectly into the mainstream. The drydown is then very much sandalwood, plus vanilla. These provide a great creamy-sweet, soft woody base. Pleasant with these gourmand notes. Very round overall and few will completely dislike this creation.
Performance is not bad at all. You can expect this fragrance to last around 10 hours or more. The first hours are quite good in the sillage, the drydown then as usual rather skin-deep. Thus wearable in everyday life, but this DNA would also fit well in the evening.

A great new release that will appeal to those fans of Good Girl. Pleasing flowers with that sexy sweetness. It's not an absolute ladies' favorite of mine, but I can still recommend it if the price drops.

Rancid cooking oil opening. Cloying powdery cloud. Cheap vanilla vodka below. Stings my nose. Promises a hangover tomorrow. No thank you.

Cloying, synthetic-smelling, overly sweet, generic. Not a very exciting release for spring . This is more suitable for winter. Ugly bottle.

The scent is nice, with Zadig's typical nutty creaminess, but somehow cloyingly intense at the same time. One spray is more than enough
