Zadig & Voltaire This is Us! is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2020, created by Mathilde Bijaoui. This is Us! dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Zadig & Voltaire's This is Us! carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is Us! is a divisive one. You'll either get an alluring, creamy vanilla-wood bomb that draws people in, or a sharp, synthetic mess. It's a risk, but if it works with your skin chemistry, it's a unique and unforgettable autumn-winter scent.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its moderate sillage and warm, cozy character make it perfect for casual outings and intimate dates, where its scent can be appreciated without overwhelming. It's too sweet and potentially cloying for formal events or the office, and entirely unsuitable for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a sweet and creamy vanilla, often described as gourmand like ginger biscuits or chai latte, balanced by soft, musky sandalwood. The heart evolves into a woody, slightly powdery core as patchouli emerges, adding an earthy depth without being overpowering. This settles into a warm, balsamic base, creating a cozy and enveloping skin scent.
