My ex used to love this fragrance, however I didn't like it back then. I gave it a try the past week and immediately fell in love. This fragrance now does what Bleu de Chanel EDT doesn't do anymore for me (probably got bored). It's soft, smooth, dark and mysterious while preserving that sweet undertone. A well-crafted scent with slight performance issues that is still capable to lure you. One of my best purchases so far.
I have zadig and voltaire Just Rock, and i can tell you this is an amazing fragrance, it also reminds me of nasomatto black afgano, in a more wearable way.
I really like this scent. One of my favorites in the collection. I bought this last year in a set with shower gel (50ml + 100ml gel) for ~25$. It's worth adding that co-creator of this is Nathalie Lorson.
Noice! I’ve been praising this one since last fall, one of my favorites! Interesting to see some hype built up in it this year, same with 3am lol but that’s cool. I can’t complain about performance, excellent for me (6 spays). I wore this a couple times on some of the milder days of summer and it worked great, I could see this being an excellent signature scent for the right individual ie; Trent Reznor. Definitely a dry, choppy vanilla, beautiful incense (probably my favorite in my collection next to Profumo) and I feel like the pepper riddled grapefruit stays for the majority of the wearing for me. Awesome to rock with a black leather jacket and jeans👖
@@alexg.9279 hi. No I think this scent is very well balanced. It’s definitely not overly sweet with vanilla and is more woodsy in the dry down than anything.
This is HYohm I also get great performance, I could smell it all day. The talk of poor performance is what took me so long to try it but when I did I was confused bc I think it has above average performance.
It ist the bomb! In Germany at times you can find it for less than 40€/100ml incl. shipping. At that price point it becomes an absolute no-brainer (If you like that type of scent). I wonder why it is that much more expensive in the US...
I use to wear this fragrance at business-seminars in autumn and winter-times since years now. It is awsome. The more handsome brother of "Just rock!" from the same house, which I use to wear in wintertimes in the office. When you like incence and vanilla , both of the brothers are a "must try"! The one more peppery the other more "tonkary". Both awsome!
Logan Cohan sorry I’m not in US, I’m Vietnamese, and here in Hanoi there is a lot of perfume stores as well as online shop, and I bought from one of them, a Tester bottle of This is him, you know the fragrance community here like online forum or offline event so famous people in this community know each other, so I glad that I bought from one of them. So I don’t have to worry about fake fragrances, and also I always, always go to their shops if I can to see with my own eyes the fragrance and test it myself (even they only sell online but if they agree for me to come to their small shop I’ll go immediately) 😁👌 but this fragrance is amazing of course
A little curiosity: watch under the cap, mine says "rock". Regarding the fragrance, I wished the grapefruit from the opening would have lasted a bit longer. Other than that I really dig it!!! To me, a pair of denim, boots and a leather jacket are the perfect match with it!!! Be careful with clothes: it lasts for a couple of weeks on them.
I am probably alone in this....I used to have this one and just rock for him. Both are very similar and to my nose, both smelled very synthetic to me and not for me as I swapped both. I LOVE incense as a note, btw
Nah Depends what you are used to 😂 Imagine in the middle east They are wearing these thick oriental fragrances even tho they live in desert areas :D. For me that normally just wears oriental, woody and gourmandy fragrances this is relatively light :D. Thanks to the pepper and grapefruit 👍👌
I used to love all the sweet and fresh generic fragrances, but discovering This is Him! by Zadig & Voltaire has been a humbling experience. Over time, I realized I didn't want to smell like everyone else - I wanted something unique. Trying This is Him! was like a gateway to a new world, teaching me to appreciate distinct scents. People who dislike this fragrance might come to appreciate it eventually as their tastes evolve.
Agreed. I’m in a vanilla mode. Trying to move away from my bulk of Tobacco and Tonka fragrances. Finally pulled to the trigger on Tobacco Vanille after my nose changed, and now appreciate the Vanilla. Also, Vanilla because projects like a beast on my skin.
@@petervenkman8425 yeah, same here. My favorite at the moment is Vanille Fatale and Spiriteuse double Vanille. Ordered This is him a few minutes ago. Was in sales today, so it happened 🤣
Hi. I bought this as a blind buy in TK MAX (UK) for about £25. When i first sprayed it it remindedme of Dino by Davidoff or Zino lol. I absolutely love this stuff ... a real favourite.
@@aliounendiaye5901 I ordered Just Rock the other day. Some reviews talk about it having a smoky incense note and some reviews say that it isnt smoky at all. Can you confirm whether there is some smokiness at all?
@@Miknoboes It's a little bit smokey and spicy but not overwelming. For me it's darker compared to the regular one. This is him have more freshness but the difference is quite small maybe in the begining but the dry downs are close. If you like Encre noire, I think you will like it. And the fragrance was composed by the same perfumer.
@@emanuelnicolaescu4195 it depends how it reacts on your skin. Its differs. Everyone had different skin. La Nuit of YSL is a great frangrance, but after 1 hour its gone.
Safe money and go for CK Shock. imo the nicest scent by far. All the other fall frags are too mainstream and overpriced. Or go ahead and pay 300 for your niche scent if you have too much money sure. Personally I pref to save that money and buy a nice Rolex, Patek or Cartier. Random Sunday comment for you 🤓
hold the cap and the atomizer in a fan in front of your face and let the wind carry the scent to your nose. This thing smells freaking amazing in the air.
Out of the 60-70 frags I currently own ... This one is in the top five. That smokey vanilla is to freaking DIE for. Y live... XD sorry I had to after saying die for
Until the end I agreed 100% The pricing is just right.. I mean c'mon some of the big designer fragrances (cough YSL) which smells great, does not have the performance like this. So if you have to re-apply La Nuit Del'Homme 3 times through the night, and This is Him only once? Which would you prefer?
Which I never believed in this stuff until I kept getting compliments from people. I’m not an attractive guy but this is my most complimented out of 100 bottles. Performs super well on me
I think the scent is a 12/10, brilliant! But the longevity on me is max 3 hours, pretty lousy. I don’t get the longevity compliments at all. It just goes flat on me. Maybe a batch variation issue?
I used to only do like 3, now I do 5 for pretty much every fragrance I have except for a few that are quite strong, I’ll do 4 for them. I find it much better. I can smell myself and get more compliments. Not that I care about compliments I wear it for myself for the most part.
At first sniff I didn't like it very much. It's kind of cloying and too dry for me. After wearing a couple of days I start to like it more. It's very masculine and classy specialy inthe dry down. +9hr longivity on my skin with a moderate projection. I like it but it's not something that I crave to wear it too often.
Hi Ash🙋🏻, big fan😎... Can you pls review This is him undressed? I love the fragrance but I don't understand why🤣🤣🤣.... Please bless us with your expertise😁😁
Timmy and Tommy. That’s funny. My younger son is Timmy and my older son’s roommate last year was Tommy, and his big brother had the same first name as my older son. Boring coincidence but noticeable. Hehe.
On my country this is always around the 40€ range 100ml... But it's a frag that just doesn't go with me... Have tried it, gave it a chance but... Nop...
Just a little idea: can you maybe grade the fragrances you review, like a number out of 10? In that manner, we know when you give a certain fragrance an X out 10 and we looooved it, the next time you give a grade >/= of X, we know what's up.
Could you please write down the batch code of your bottle somewhere, i tested this one like a year ago and loved it but didn't buy until last week and the performance on my bottle was horrible i mean the longevity waas fine but the projection was very poor.
If you have dry skin the parfum will evaporate quicker, that's why you need to spray more with lighter fragrances or should check out better lasting ones :). I personally also have dry skin and love zadig and voltaire but for me it is more of a summer, spring fragrance because the development on my skin, it's way to week for winter or autumn otherwise I would need to spray 10 or more sprays 😂😂and I think that doesn't really work well with the parfum, and also is a waste of parfum for me 😂
I've been waiting for this review. I love this house . Waiting for Just Rock review!

How about the longevity? Is it stays the whole day?
My cousin has this, he let me try it last week, blew me away! lasted all day a smells like pure class!

Hello, is this one overly vanilla in the dry down?
@@alexg.9279 hi. No I think this scent is very well balanced. It’s definitely not overly sweet with vanilla and is more woodsy in the dry down than anything.
This is from Nathalie Lorson, the same creator of jewels like Bentley for man intense, all the encre noires....
I’m sorry about the last
This is Him is an amazing scent, I heb been wearing it since it was released, but the Just Rock flanker smells even better, also love the bottles.
This is HYohm
I also get great performance, I could smell it all day. The talk of poor performance is what took me so long to try it but when I did I was confused bc I think it has above average performance.

Ash you do the best fragrance break downs on TH-cam! You have saved me money based on your recommendations. Thank you!
Just bought a bottle yesterday and today it appeared on your channel..!! I am soooo happy you loved it 🥰🥰🥰
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
this fragrance is amazing, just got a bottle a few days ago for this fall/winter
Did you cop it online or what’s the move to buy it
Online! Their website has a deal going on. I got it for $41 for 50ml

I think it's pretty cool. And it's off the radar for many. Great frag.
Been waiting for ash to review this love this stuff its highly understated
underrated*

It’s a wonderful fragrance. I bought mine since it first came out. Thanks for reviewing 👍👍👍
Great review Ashton. I lurv This is Him! Just Rock! is another winner IMO.
Which one would you pick if you had to ?
@@prabinprabin5490 Gee that's a pretty tough choice... I think maybe Just Rock! But only just! 😁 Love them both though 🙂
I got it last week. I love it.
Love vanilla, look forward to this for sure.
Please review fragrances from the house Arabian Oud. You will love it for sure.
I ordered a second bottle the second i smelled it. I get the wildest compliments when wearing this.
Great review... Wonderful scent...
Awesome viddy Ash. This one sounds bombass. 👍
It's summer all year round here. I've worn this a total of 1 time in the past 4 months.
Gotta agree, very hard to wear if it's any bit warm out.
Nah
Depends what you are used to 😂
Imagine in the middle east They are wearing these thick oriental fragrances even tho they live in desert areas :D. For me that normally just wears oriental, woody and gourmandy fragrances this is relatively light :D. Thanks to the pepper and grapefruit 👍👌
I ordered a week ago. It’s on the way! I’m excited for this. Seems like a lot of people aren’t hip to this.

Thank you for this review!
Everytime I read Vanilla, I have to check it out 👍 thanks for the nice review 👍👍
Definitely check this out. It's amazing.

I absolutely love this stuff ... a real favourite.
What bottle size?
@@Kwikscoper007 50ml my friend
Zadig & Voltaire “Just Rock” is an underrated fragrance from the house of Z&V ...i would like to see a review on this one too..thanks in advance✌🏻
I’ve heard Just Rock is similar to Pulse of the Night...
Not really
I completely agree with yoyu. I have both and "Just Rock" which is a flanker is better in my opinion.
@@aliounendiaye5901 I ordered Just Rock the other day. Some reviews talk about it having a smoky incense note and some reviews say that it isnt smoky at all. Can you confirm whether there is some smokiness at all?

Z&V TIH is amazing fragrance. I received this as present. With 2 sprays I smell it whole day. Compliment killer.
No way bro
Go to slepp
@@emanuelnicolaescu4195 it depends how it reacts on your skin. Its differs. Everyone had different skin. La Nuit of YSL is a great frangrance, but after 1 hour its gone.
How would this compare to Mercedes Benz club black?
I love it when this happens, just ordered a sample of this then Ashton comes out with a vid.
Excellet Vid Ash! 🚀
Bought this years ago in Italy and love it every winter.
Hows the performance and longivity
I like this one, but I love Just Rock.
As soon as I smelled this I love it.
Zadig TIH is perfect for me but it needs a booster for performance and projection.
Great bang for buck! Gives me similar vibes to Fan di Fendi (which does have leather) but I prefer this as the blend is smoother.
It’s dark and resinous and sweet to my nose, definitely worth the price tag
What sweetness do you smell other than vanilla and during the dry down is it too overly vanilla smell?
My wife said OOOOHHH WHAT IS THAT ? She loves it, also a big compliment getter by other people
Please Ash, We need your Fall top 10 list for Niche Edition.
Safe money and go for CK Shock. imo the nicest scent by far. All the other fall frags are too mainstream and overpriced. Or go ahead and pay 300 for your niche scent if you have too much money sure. Personally I pref to save that money and buy a nice Rolex, Patek or Cartier.
Random Sunday comment for you 🤓
Please do top 10 complimented fragrances which can be smelled through masks 😷
Love it. Just paid 56.00 on Joma.
hold the cap and the atomizer in a fan in front of your face and let the wind carry the scent to your nose. This thing smells freaking amazing in the air.
Out of the 60-70 frags I currently own ... This one is in the top five. That smokey vanilla is to freaking DIE for. Y live... XD sorry I had to after saying die for
I like what you did there lol
The EDT just lacks the message that Y Live has
Z&V or azzaro wanted by night

Not sure if it's my batch or if I'm noseblind to it, but I can barely smell anything at all past the opening.
Great opening that dies down quickly and doesn't project well off my skin.
Which I never believed in this stuff until I kept getting compliments from people. I’m not an attractive guy but this is my most complimented out of 100 bottles. Performs super well on me
I think the scent is a 12/10, brilliant!

Thank you for waiting till after I picked this one up to do a video on it. It was hard enough to find in stock as it is lol
Has a harsh opening the dry down is great.35$ 100ml tester I'm not complaining.
first view babyy
Does this have any resemblance to mercedes club black I wonder?? I'm obsessed with club black, I think I'll like this 🤔
Niche juice in a Designer bottle🎯🔥
Love this one, Ani I totally agree with everything you said, Ash! 🍻
Loved this, but that dusty dry down you mentioned is not appealing, so i sold it. Also, this seemed to be more suited for someone in their teens/20’s.
Should I go for this or Mercedes Benz Club Black?
lol i never do 5/6 sprays, i always thought that was extreme. U make it sound like its normal :D.
I used to only do like 3, now I do 5 for pretty much every fragrance I have except for a few that are quite strong, I’ll do 4 for them. I find it much better. I can smell myself and get more compliments. Not that I care about compliments I wear it for myself for the most part.

How will this perform in extreme winters like temp in range of minus 4 degree Celsius to 4 degree Celsius
Don't be offended but you are my fave frag reviewer.
wow, I got lucky. Got this in the UK from "all beauty" for £29.95 so around$35-$40.
Ten sprays is the new 5/6 . ;)
Please make a top 10 Fragrance for Frag Lovers ❤️🙏💯
Does someone know if there is something similar with better projection? This turn into a skin scent within 10 minutes.
I bought a decant of this and it reminds me of layton!
Hi Ash🙋🏻, big fan😎... Can you pls review This is him undressed? I love the fragrance but I don't understand why🤣🤣🤣.... Please bless us with your expertise😁😁
I just got this and to me it smells like an antique store or an old lady’s half finished basement. Not sure how I feel about it yet
This pafum is very ok for my chidren my boy .. 12 years.
Then you must been living in the church.
Is it in any way similar to Mercedes-Benz Club Black?
Is this similar to imaginary authors memoirs of a trespasser? Is it worth buying if you already have memoirs of a trespasser?
And by the way, what about the word on the cap?
I have This is Him and Just Rock - "Love" and "Art"
Gent have you heard about Nasomatto fantomas?
Most complimentary fragrance … crazy pleasure scent
Smells like cedrat boise for me
Is it close to Mandarina Duck?
Timmy and Tommy. That’s funny. My younger son is Timmy and my older son’s roommate last year was Tommy, and his big brother had the same first name as my older son. Boring coincidence but noticeable. Hehe.
