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

Best 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.

About

This Is Him opens with a startling burst of zesty grapefruit and sharp black pepper, quickly giving way to the heart's smoky embrace of incense married with smooth vanilla. The journey culminates in a warm, creamy drydown of sandalwood, leaving a trail that's both comforting and undeniably edgy.
