What does This Is Him! smell like?

Black pepper and grapefruit give it a sharp, fresh start. In the heart, frankincense and vanilla bring a resinous, creamy sweetness. Sandalwood forms a woody base underneath, and a smoky edge runs through the whole scent.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and very few choose summer. It leans towards evenings, nights out and leisure time, and also works for daytime and the office. Most voters read it as masculine. Acqua di Hamburg Hafen and Tertia Sensu Essential Only for Men have a close profile.
