Zadig & Voltaire Tome 1 La Purete for Her is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Nathalie Lorson. Tome 1 La Purete for Her opens with Bergamot, Orange Blossom, and Peony, settles into a heart of Milk, Jasmine, Tonka Bean, and Almond, and dries down to a base of Musk and Guaiac Wood. Zadig & Voltaire's Tome 1 La Purete for Her carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one is an enigma wrapped in an almond-milk accord. It's divisive, with some finding it a unique, creamy dream and others smelling expensive soap or even asphalt. Definitely test on skin, not paper.

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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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 clean, slightly fresh burst of bergamot and orange blossom, softened by a hint of peony. The heart quickly develops into a unique lactonic embrace, where creamy milk and sweet almond intertwine with a narcotic jasmine and warm tonka bean. The drydown settles into a comforting, musky warmth, grounded by the distinctive smoky depth of guaiac wood.
