This is Us!

This is Us! by Zadig & Voltaire is a softly sweet, creamy vanilla-sandalwood fragrance with subtle woody and musky depth. The scent opens with a fizzy, powdery vanilla that feels slightly synthetic at first, reminiscent of vanilla candy or a cotton candy-like puff. Over time, it mellows into a warm, soft, and woody base—marked by sandalwood and a hint of patchouli. The harmony of sweet vanilla, clean musk, and creamy sandalwood creates a smooth, enveloping profile that feels both comforting and effortlessly unisex. Many describe it as reminiscent of cashmere, milk, or a soft linen blanket—ideal for intimate, casual, or cozy moments. It performs best in cooler seasons, especially autumn and winter, and thrives in close encounters rather than large spaces. The scent is inoffensive, gentle, and lasts moderately, often needing reapplication after several hours. It’s best suited for daywear and casual settings, with no strong sillage, making it ideal for those who dislike overwhelming perfumes. The fragrance stands out for its simplicity and cult-like following among vanilla lovers. Though some find it bland or synthetic on initial wear, many grow fond of it over time, especially when layered with other scents like Musc Noir or This is Her. Its appeal lies in its softness, personal comfort, and timeless creamy character, earning praise as a 'nurturing' or 'cuddle' scent that marries sweetness with earthy woodiness without tipping into cloying territory.
