Good morning, gentlemen!
Today, I’m diving into a fragrance that's had a bit of a tumultuous journey here in the UK - "This is Him" by Zadig & Voltaire. For those unfamiliar, Zadig & Voltaire is a French brand synonymous with modern, chic, and edgy fashion and fragrances. After facing some distribution issues that made it hard to find in the UK, I'm thrilled to share that it's back in stock and seems here to stay. My first encounter with "This is Him" was nothing short of love at first scent, and I’m excited to break down why this fragrance deserves a spot on your shelf.
The Look: Unmistakably Bold
First impressions matter, and "This is Him" makes a bold one. The bottle exudes a raw, masculine aesthetic that fits perfectly with the brand's rock 'n' roll ethos. Clad in sleek black with a luxurious, tactile feel, it's clear that every detail of the packaging has been crafted to appeal to the modern man. It doesn’t just sit on your dresser; it makes a statement.
The Scent: Distinctly Warm, Unquestionably Seductive
Diving into the fragrance itself, "This is Him" greets you with a spicy incense that’s immediately captivating. The blend of grapefruit zest and black pepper provides a sharp, invigorating opening that subtly transitions into the warmth of vanilla and sandalwood. This heart and base give it a creamy, smoky profile that's rich yet not overpowering. While it might be pegged as a quintessential winter fragrance due to its warmth, its unique character makes it versatile enough for year-round wear. It's especially perfect for summer evenings and nights out, projecting a sensual, confident vibe that’s hard to overlook.
Personal Thoughts: Addictively Unique
On a personal note, "This is Him" has quickly become one of my favorites. There's something addictive about the way the fragrance evolves on the skin, from its spicy, energetic opening to its warm, inviting dry down. It lasts impressively well throughout the day, which is a significant plus given how individual skin chemistry can affect longevity. Despite the recent hikes in fragrance prices, "This is Him" remains accessibly priced, making it a great value for those looking to add a distinctive, high-quality perfume to their collection. If you’re drawn to scents that are both bold and sexy, with a masculine edge, I highly recommend giving this a try.
Conclusion
In conclusion, "This is Him" by Zadig & Voltaire isn't just a fragrance; it's a statement. It's for the man who's unafraid to stand out, who appreciates a blend of luxury and edginess in his scent profile. Whether you’re dressing up for a night on the town or looking for that special everyday fragrance that’s both unique and charismatic, "This is Him" could be the perfect match. Don’t just take my word for it—experience its magnetic allure for yourself.
