This Is Love! for Her

This Is Love! for Her by Zadig & Voltaire is a creamy, sweet, and warmly spiced vanilla scent with a prominent powdery violet and soft ginger opening. It leans toward a soft, effervescent sweetness reminiscent of vanilla bean icing or a lightly spiced ginger-honey syrup, with a comforting sandalwood base that adds depth and warmth. The scent evolves into a smooth, milky vanilla with subtle woodiness, creating a soft, rounded, and soothing aura. While some find the vanilla and sweet powdery accords delicate and appealing, others perceive it as overly sweet or somewhat synthetic, especially in the opening phase. The ginger note is sharp yet fading quickly, often blending into the vanilla and powder rather than remaining distinct. Though performance is moderate in terms of longevity and sillage—some users report it lasting beyond 8 hours, while others note it fades rapidly—the scent settles into a soft, skin-friendly drydown, making it suitable for daywear in cooler months. Its design and presentation are romantic and feminine, often described as retro or vintage in feel, evoking early 2000s commercial perfumes. It's not a layered or complex scent, but rather a straightforward, wearable vanilla-ginger-sandalwood composition with a soft poise that suits spring, fall, and winter. A small number hesitate due to nasal sensitivity or dislike of heavy sweetness, yet many find it comforting, well-blended, and ideal as a daily signature.
