This Is Really Him!

by Nathalie Lorson

Zadig & Voltaire This Is Really Him! is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2024, created by Nathalie Lorson. This Is Really Him! opens with Grapefruit and Lemon, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Mineral, and dries down to a base of Palo Santo and Amberwood. Zadig & Voltaire's This Is Really Him! carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some swear it's a unique masterpiece, others shrug it off as redundant or synthetic. If you like the Zadig & Voltaire DNA, expect a lighter, airier take, but don't be shocked if you go nose-blind to it. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with performance wildly debated.

Its blend of woody, amber, and subtle white floral notes leans towards versatile, though some find its 'metallic' twist too pronounced for formal settings. Reviewers suggest it works for everyday wear, including the office, while its smoky sweetness makes it a good shout for dates or cozy evenings, especially in cooler weather.

About

This Is Really Him! kicks off with a zing of grapefruit and lemon, quickly giving way to a distinctive metallic edge intertwined with soft orange blossom. As it settles, the creamy, smoky warmth of palo santo and amberwood emerges, creating a woody-amber base that's both grounding and a touch sweet. It's a journey from bright citrus to an intriguing, mineralic warmth, often described as a 'creamy woody incense stick'.
