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.197 This Is Him EDP
No.197 captures This Is Him's chilled melon-and-citrus opening well but the suede-and-woods base thins out much faster, making it a solid daytime fresher rather than an all-day performer.

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.
