This Is Her! Undressed.

This Is Her! Undressed arrived in 2023 as a sequel to the original scent, a version that strips away any pretense. Sidonie Lancesseur reimagined the composition with a focus on directness. Undressed means exactly what it implies: the scent of skin itself, not the performance of scent. No embellishment clouds the formula. No projection theater fills the room. What remains is mineral warmth, something sun-kissed and worth leaning into, a quiet assertion of what's natural and present.

The ylang-ylang here doesn't tropical; it reads mineral. Like rain on warm petals, a quality that redefines what this note can do in a formula. That shift is significant and changes how the entire fragrance breathes. The orange blossom and ylang-ylang together create an unexpected warmth, slightly aquatic in nature, something nearly rainy rather than floral-sweet. The ginger arrives first, keeping things from going fully soft, a clean heat that opens the composition before the florals fully move in. And then the salty skin note arrives and takes over. It's not a metaphor. It's salt on skin.

The opening announces itself quietly. Orange blossom and ginger arrive without shouting, the ginger adding a warmth that keeps the composition from reading sharp or cold. The ylang-ylang gradually takes center stage. This is where the fragrance shifts. The ylang-ylang is buttery but also slightly aquatic, almost rainy, and it blends with something salty that wasn't present in the opening at all. The skin note has arrived. The fragrance stops smelling like perfume and starts smelling like a person, an intimate presence rather than an applied scent. The drydown is intimate. Sandalwood and musk settle close, warming against the skin rather than filling a room. This is a fragrance that announces nothing. It invites. Someone gets close enough to notice, and then stays close because they want to. Performance is modest, consistent with the skin-close ethos.

This Is Her! Undressed occupies a particular corner of the fragrance world: skin-close scents that favor intimacy over projection. The salty skin note gives it a literal quality that sets it apart, something that feels more honest than constructed. It's a fragrance for those who want proximity rather than presence, the kind of scent that someone near you notices before they realize they've noticed, and then understands why. Wearers describe it as the scent of someone comfortable in their own skin, someone who doesn't need you to know they're wearing anything at all, until you get close enough.
