Zadig & Voltaire This Is Really Him! is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2024, created by Nathalie Lorson. This Is Really Him! opens with Lemon and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Mineral and Orange Blossom, 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.

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'.
