The perfect scent for the months ahead, Zadig&Voltaire’s fragrances THIS IS HER! BURNING LOVE and THIS IS HIM! BURNING LOVE bottle the feeling of sunset heat, amplified emotions and nights lived at full volume.
Like Zara Larsson’s Midnight Sun, where summer is less a season and more a state of mind, THIS IS HER! BURNING LOVE and THIS IS HIM! BURNING LOVE unfold in a moment suspended between day and night. As the sun slips below the horizon, the atmosphere changes: heat lingers, colours deepen, and the night begins to hum. It is within this charged in-between space that Zadig&Voltaire situates its latest duo, inspired by the intensity of summer nights and the emotions they provoke.
Rather than telling a classic love story, the fragrances focus on sensation: movement, contrast, and the moment when desire first appears. THIS IS HER! BURNING LOVE opens with blood orange grown on the slopes of Mount Etna, its brightness shaped by volcanic soil and sharp temperature shifts. Pistachio liqueur follows, adding an unexpected richness. At the heart, green tea and chestnut create a tension between freshness and warmth, before settling into sandalwood, cedarwood and wheat bran, notes that recall skin warmed by the night.
On the other hand, THIS IS HIM! BURNING LOVE. rum, orange and grapefruit for contrast. Vanilla infusion forms the core, deep and enveloping, while amber wood and patchouli anchor the scent in something darker and more tactile, evoking the density of bodies and sound after sunset.
The design reflects this shared theme. The fractured THIS IS! bottle remains, but colour takes on a central role: pink fading into orange for her, deep blue for him, both recalling the sky at dusk. Metallic details and smoky typography reinforce the idea of heat and transition.
Together, THIS IS HER! BURNING LOVE and THIS IS HIM! BURNING LOVE capture the fleeting intensity of a night when everything feels amplified, and nothing stands still.
THIS IS HER! BURNING LOVE (£110) and THIS IS HIM! BURNING LOVE (£75) are available now at The Perfume Shop.
