The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020 by Zadig & Voltaire, This Is Love! for Him was crafted by perfumer Nathalie Lorson to blend the freshness of citrus with woody warmth and subtle florals. The composition opens with a bright burst of bergamot, which gives way to the soft embrace of orange blossom in the heart. The base note of sandalwood adds depth and a lasting warmth, creating an intriguing contrast between its fresh top notes and enveloping base.

How to wear it

Apply This Is Love! for Him with a light hand — the citrus top notes are vibrant but fleeting. The warm sandalwood base develops gradually over time, so it's best to let it settle into your skin rather than layering heavily. Ideal for daytime wear when you want a fresh yet comforting scent.
