Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its moderate sillage and intriguing scent profile make it a good fit for dates or casual outings, where its unique character can shine without being overwhelming. The prominent pepper and incense notes, however, might be a bit too distinctive for a conservative office or formal event.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Capsule Collection This Is Him has a tight list of five notes. Pepper and grapefruit open it, giving a sharp, spicy and citrus-bright start. The heart adds incense and vanilla, a smoky note softened by a gentle sweetness. Sandalwood forms the base, smooth and creamy, and keeps the dry-down woody and calm. The shape is simple and easy to follow, moving from zesty to warm to woody. It is a masculine, modern and confident scent that works as an everyday wear without feeling heavy or showy.
