Zadig & Voltaire This Is Really Him! Eau de Toilette 50ml is the punchier 2024 reading of the brand's beloved This Is Him! line — composed by master perfumer Nathalie Lorson. A bracing grapefruit and lemon opening leads into an unusual heart of metallic notes and orange blossom, settling on a warm base of palo santo and amberwood. The result is a confident, slightly rebellious modern men's fragrance with character to spare.

- Base: Palo Santo, Amberwood
Olfactory family: Woody Aromatic | Launched: 2024 | Perfumer: Nathalie Lorson
Who it's for
This Is Really Him! suits men drawn to fresh, slightly unusual aromatic-woody fragrances rather than safe sporty or sweet sport-style styles. It is wearable year-round but performs especially well in spring and autumn evenings, ideal for date nights, weekends and any context where a confident grown-up signature is welcome. If you wear Mont Blanc Explorer, Dior Sauvage Elixir or YSL Y, This Is Really Him! sits in similar dressed-up modern territory with a more amber-and-palo-santo signature.
How to use
- Spray onto clean, moisturised skin from around 15 cm away.
- Apply to pulse points — neck, throat, behind the ears and inner wrists.
- Two sprays of an EDT Intense is plenty; the palo-santo-amberwood base anchors the fragrance through the day.
- For a longer scent trail in cooler weather, mist lightly onto a wool jacket lining or shirt collar.
Size: 50ml — the everyday format, presented in This Is Him!'s signature stepped-pyramid flacon with brushed metallic detailing.
