Girls Can Say Anything
by Zadig & Voltaire
A soft, sweetly powdery fragrance with prominent vanilla, creamy iris, and delicate peony that evolves into a warm, slightly musky amber base. It opens with a sharp, slightly chemical note that fades quickly into a velvety floral-sweet accord, creating a feminine, uplifting aura. The scent is strongest on first application, with noticeable projection and moderate sillage, making it suitable for daytime wear, especially in spring and winter. It feels light and comfortable on skin, though some users note it can feel too sweet or cloying over time, particularly in warmer weather. Despite not being groundbreaking, it wears well for many and can be a confident, flattering choice, especially for those drawn to gourmand florals with a touch of crisp freshness. Some find the overall impression too simplistic or unremarkable, while others adore its cozy, happy quality and long-lasting presence.
