This is Her

This is Her is an atmospheric, warmly sweet gourmand with a distinctive character that divides opinion. It begins with a sharp, slightly electric warmth from rose pepper and jasmine, creating an immediate sense of presence. This quickly gives way to a rich, creamy vanilla-silk base layered over a subtle woody-sandal note. The overall impression leans toward a heated, viscous milk and vanilla, evoking comfort and intimacy, often compared to a cozy winter sweater or a slightly damp, warm lock of hair. The aroma is most resonant in cooler weather—autumn and winter—and maintains a unique, softness that some describe as 'intimate' or 'cozy'. While it's a blend of vanilla, sandalwood, and chestnut, the chestnut note is not prominent to most; for some it's faintly smoky, for others in the background. A pronounced, gripping spicy fiber adds depth and unease for some, making the perfume both inviting and polarizing. The performance is highly variable across individuals. Many find it long-lasting with moderate to strong projection, and hold it in high regard, calling it 'addictive', 'sensual', and 'a signature'. Others report the stardom is short-lived or feels 'overpowering', 'slightly chemical', or overly sweet. The character is not mild or fleeting—it is assertive, and some find the scent of lactonic, sweet-buttery spicy aspects (though not aggressive) that converts to a muffled, sandy hoariness. Some even report a 'damp' or slightly unclean scent, possibly linked to its construction with synthetic components. It may not be 'practical' for urban environments due to its depth and quiet projected force, and it's more ideal in private or intimate settings. Resistance to making it work is common: several note a resistive sense, what with 'yawning' or 'drowning' in it. Yet, as seen in echoes across comments, those deeply bonded to it call it life-affirming, an intimate ritual. This perfume suits individuals who appreciate strong, textural paradigms in scent—those drawn to feeling 'waved in' by scent, not avoided. It is best suited to the soul who embraces contradiction: sweet yet spicy, warm yet cool, simple yet layered.
