The story behind the bottle.
This Is Really Him! by Zadig & Voltaire is a fragrance crafted by perfumer Nathalie Lorson and launched in 2024. The composition opens with bright graperfruit and lemon, creating an immediate sense of freshness and vibrancy. As the scent evolves, metallic notes and orange blossom add layers of complexity, balancing the citrusy brightness with a touch of sophistication. The base notes of palo santo and amberwood offer warmth and depth, grounding the fragrance in a woody, aromatic foundation that feels both contemporary and lasting.
Apply two sprays for a balanced scent that lasts throughout the day. The citrus top notes are bright but short-lived, so rely on the woody base to carry the fragrance as it settles.
