Which Should You Buy?
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.
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.
