Zadig & Voltaire Zadig is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Amandine Clerc-Marie and Florian Gallo. Zadig opens with Sesame, Pepper, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Neroli and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Cream, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Zadig & Voltaire's Zadig carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a delightful, creamy vanilla dream with a spicy kick, while others are less impressed, calling it unoriginal and battling with a prominent, divisive sesame note. Approach with an open mind, but don't expect groundbreaking magic.

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.

Its sweet and creamy profile makes it a strong contender for casual wear and dates. While some find the performance good, others report it fades quickly, making it less ideal for formal events where longevity is key. The gourmand elements make it less suitable for sporty activities.

About

Zadig opens with a zing of fresh ginger and a surprising savoury hint of sesame and pepper. As it settles, a sweet, creamy orange blossom and neroli heart emerges, wrapped in a plush veil of vanilla. The base softens further into a comforting, lactonic sandalwood finish, evoking a warm, sweet gourmand with a modern twist.
