Zadig & Voltaire This is Him is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016, created by Nathalie Lorson and Aurélien Guichard. This is Him opens with Grapefruit and Pepper, settles into a heart of Vanilla and Incense, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood. Zadig & Voltaire's This is Him carries a Statement verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

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.

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.
