Zadig & Voltaire This is Him! Vibes of Freedom is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2022, created by Nathalie Lorson. This is Him! Vibes of Freedom opens with Mandarin and Lavender, settles into a heart of Cardamom and Incense, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Patchouli. Zadig & Voltaire's This is Him! Vibes of Freedom carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive, this one. While some find it a delightful, creamy sandalwood dream for spring, others dismiss it as an overpriced 'blue' fragrance akin to an aftershave. If you like sandalwood, you *might* like this.

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:
Spring Summer Fall

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its moderate projection and generally inoffensive, clean-woody profile make it an excellent choice for the office or casual wear. It lacks the gravitas for formal events and the intimacy for dates, though a subtle clean freshness works for active settings.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a cool, almost minty rush of fresh lavender and a whisper of citrus from mandarin. This quickly transitions to a warm, subtly spicy heart of cardamom and incense. The base settles into a creamy, woody embrace of patchouli and cedar, which many users perceive as sandalwood.
