Light, airy and green are absolutely not how I would describe it. It is one of my most well recieved perfumes and for me it has good sillage and performance. To me there also is some vanillic-note that pushes through in the heart and base. I would recommend everyone to check it our for themselves :D

Yeah I don’t get green. Usually most green feeling fragrances push me away. I remember finding this sort of dark, sweet and interesting. Looking at buying a bottle. I do think it’s not what one would expect so you’re right, everyone should try it themselves

Not sure what Aaron was smelling here. This is a dusty-dry, dark masculine vanilla, minimalistic, austere and ethereal with a good measure of peppery incense. The grapefruit is barely detectable in the opening and I have no idea how anyone could associate the scent with anything green. The musks are not metallic either to my nose. Great performance, great scent.

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.
@bojanh64373 жыл бұрын
I actually like This Is Him a lot. It seems that people are intrigued by this one. They are not complimening but rather ask what is it and then I hear "hmmmm" sound. I also like Just Rock, which is sweeter. I own them both but not wearing them so much because I need to loose weight so I can wear leather jacket which is a perfect match with these two.

This is a fragrance I don't like, even though I like most others from Nathalie Lorson, including Encre Noire Sport which I think is in a similar olfactive area (to me,) but this one goes further into what I'd call bugspray territory. Maybe it's that combination of incense and green what gives that bugsprayish aspect, at least on my skin and to my nose. Not for me.

Let me preface this by saying that I respect you not only as a perfumer and chemist but as a person. I don't mean this as an attack at all and you can feel free to call me ignorant because I am - hence this comment and question. I am interested in your scents but I worry slightly that "filth" means poo. I understand that fecal notes can add depth to frags but once I recognise it, it can stop me enjoying even the most tame of fragrances, e.g. bodyshop white musk. Is that what "filth" means when you say it? I understand it to also mean a sex/musk thing but depending on what one might personally associate with sex this could include fecal notes. Again apologies for the inherent offensiveness of this question but I am genuinely curious about your fragrance creations
@AaronTerenceHughes3 жыл бұрын
Ofcause. Let me clarify. The Filth accord is a dark, sensual, musky, sweet accord ive developed. It gives my work a sensual, sexual feel to the fragrance. It does not smell dirty or of anything unpleasant.

hm... interesting that you get "green" and "airy" feel from this... to me it's a little aggressive black pepper + vanilla + synthetic sandalwood scent, more sweet, and not green at all. Usually your reviews are always on spot, so this time it feels like you're reviewing something else tbh. I used to love this fragrance, and actually I really want to find something similar but without the black pepper, because its harshness offsets the smoothness of the other elements in my opinion.
