Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - This is Him EDT

This Is Him is a genuinely divisive scent, sparking strong opinions with its bold take on incense and vanilla. It's either a masterful blend of edgy sophistication or a cloying, unwearable mess. Love it or hate it, you definitely won't be bored.

Statement

Our Verdict - No.153 B Orange EDP

Eden's No.153 is a vegan aftershave alternative to Hugo Boss Boss Orange for Men, opening with the same red-apple-and-citrus brightness before settling into a smoky incense and sandalwood base. It's a flatter, louder version of the original with shorter longevity but a similar warm, easy-going character.

Season and Occasion Fit

This is Him

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its bold and projecting nature, combined with smoky and vanilla accords, makes it less suited for a conservative office environment. However, many reviews highlight its 'sexy' and 'mysterious' qualities for dates, and its versatile cool-weather appeal for casual or even semi-formal nights out, despite some performance complaints.

No.153 B Orange

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

Also Works:

Summer Autumn

The zesty bergamot and red apple opening gives this a sun-drenched, warm-weather lift that suits spring and summer, while the smoky incense and sandalwood base gives it enough depth to carry into autumn; it never gets heavy enough to feel purposeful in deep winter cold.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Office Date

The laid-back citrus-incense combination reads best as a relaxed everyday scent for casual wear, with enough smoky warmth to work on a date or a low-key office day, but it lacks the polish for formal dress and the incense trail is too present for the gym.
