Fabric softener the third? (...and does Just Rock count as This Is Her-Flanker?)
The thoughts in the title I had in mind when I created it, especially since Zadig & Voltaire actually only ever release the same fragrance with minimal deviations at regular intervals.
What a pity, because I am a big fan of the original and have even registered it as a signature scent.
Please don't ask me why I bought the Flanker No Rules, I can't answer that anymore with the best will in the world. D
After I have already written a statement, the fragrance deserves a detailed commentary.
Scent:
After spraying on, one is first wrapped in an artificial pear cloud, just like the original.
The artificial impression is quickly gone and the sweet flowers join the pear.
I cannot perceive bergamot at all, the fragrance has nothing even remotely citric about it at any time.
Everything is carried very gently by sweet vanilla. I can't smell chestnut cream directly, it is at most perhaps perceived as a warm-sweet and slightly caramel-like addition to vanilla.
For comparison, I would like to mention "Trastevere", who has also listed chestnut cream in the fragrance pyramid and there you can smell the sweet chestnut very clearly and authentically.
However, for No Rules (and also the original) this is not supposed to be a negative statement, because all fragrances combine to a cuddly, sweet and warm melange, which always reminds me of a high quality fabric softener (maybe jasmine?).
Thus the fragrance, like the original, manages to smell cuddly, creamy and warm on the one hand and fresh and clean at the same time.
No Rules has hardly any scent, at the beginning it is just more fruity through the pear and at the end there is an unfortunately somewhat artificial and minimally scratchy orange blossom.
This orange blossom is also for me the biggest difference to the original.
As far as durability is concerned, I am very disappointed, because where the original lasts on the skin the whole day, can even be seen the next day and remains on clothes forever and ever, No Rules will run out of breath after only 4-5 hours.
Conclusion:
The fragrance definitely falls into my prey scheme, but for me it doesn't come close to the original This Is Her!, according to the motto: If you like the flanker, you should rather buy the original instead.
For those for whom the floral notes are decisive, No Rules is the right place, because the fragrance is clearly more floral and even sweeter than the original, but for those for whom durability, innovation and the cuddly blanket-softener-factor is more important, they should test the original, because in my opinion it can score more points here.
The This Is Her! in the original and the No Rules flanker are like fraternal twin sisters to me, No Rules I would describe as a smoother, more accommodating sister to This Is Her!, which has fewer rough edges and corners and therefore comes across as a little less complicated, but perhaps a little more boring.
If you're not an absolute fan of the fragrance series, you don't need both, they're definitely so similar, so you can calmly choose the one you like better without missing anything.
