Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - des Baux Eau de Toilette

This one's a legendary cheapie, offering niche-level comfort at a high-street price, though its longevity causes a bit of mither. A cold-weather marvel with devoted fans, it's a must-try for anyone after a warm, spicy vanilla with a proper twist.

Our Verdict - This is Him Eau de Parfum

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.

Best For:

Also Works:

Formal

Its warm, spicy and vanilla-heavy profile makes it perfect for date nights and casual autumn/winter wear. While it has moderate projection, its richness isn't ideal for the office or formal events, and it's certainly not built for sport.

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.
