Girls Can Be Crazy: Good Fun for Coca-Cola Lovers

Girls Can Be Crazy by Zadig & Voltaire

Girls Can Be Crazy is not another sweet oriental. The distinct note of cola-cola makes it stand out from the crowd. The cola is well made; but, of course, you must enjoy the Coca-Cola’s smell.

It is pretty and sparkling. A Christmas party is an event when you can rock this fragrance, for example. It is amplified with tonka bean and vanilla yet it is a perfume for young fun-loving girls. The strength and staying power reflect the moderate price. You will get a solid five hours out of this.

If you do not take Girls Can Be Crazy too seriously, the name does not suggest it anyway, girl, you will have serious fun.

This is Her! Vibes of Freedom Zadig & Voltaire

Woody Floral Musk
Perfumer: Sidonie Lancesseur

Zadig & Voltaire has been recently on fire. After their huge success with This is Her! they come with a flanker Vibes of Freedom.

The first impression is: “This is a completely different fragrance”. While the original This is her! is milky and nutty right from the start, the flanker smells like a typical floral fruity with gentle peony, rose and jasmine combined with juicy pear. Until you get to the dry-down! The base is full-on chestnut and whipped cream again. It is interesting to experience such a transition. Thumbs up! That is impressive for a designer scent.

However, as far as my experience goes, it is hard for me to wear This is Her! the original as well as the new one. Ever since I heard that the chestnut together with whipped cream smells like puke, I cannot get it out of my head. If I pay attention, it does actually remind me of vomit. I guess I am done with This is Her! It is okay. This note profile has never been my thing anyway, so I can keep calm and carry on.

A chestnut and whipped cream scent. Apart from the bright opening, smells like the original.

Winter daytime
rock and boho style

This fragrance is sooo interesting. I guess you either love it or hate it. It is heavy on whipped cream, chestnut and saldalwood. The style certainly is rock and boho as is the fashion of Zadig & Voltare. The perfect time to wear This is Her is a winter daytime, I imagine “Once upon a time somewhere in Russia …”.

It is warm, sweet and heavy. I recommend giving it a proper test before buying. It is not for everyone. This is Her is a sweet gourmand but a different kind of sweet. The vanilla is rather cold as in Hypnose Lancome. What is more, there are no fruity notes whatsoever. Hence expect neither zesty opening nor freshness. Nevertheless, it scores extra points for its extraordinary vibe; and overall, I started to like it.

A sweet punk for cold climate rock & roll chicks. 70/100
