How does this compare to the original This Is Him! by Zadig & Voltaire?+−
This Is Love! is significantly brighter and fresher. While the original is known for its darker incense and black pepper notes, this version strips away the "gothic" elements in favor of citrusy bergamot and a cleaner orange blossom heart.
Is this fragrance suitable for hot weather?+−
Yes, it is most popular during the spring and summer. The bergamot and orange blossom provide a refreshing quality that performs well in the heat without becoming cloying, though the sandalwood base keeps it substantial enough for cooler spring mornings.
Does This Is Love! pour Lui lean more masculine or unisex?+−
While marketed for men and featuring a strong sandalwood dry down, the prominent orange blossom and sweet fruity accords give it a soft, creamy quality that some find leans toward the unisex side of the spectrum.
Is this a good choice for a blind buy?+−
It is generally considered a safe choice because of its uncomplicated and friendly profile. Since it avoids "beast mode" projection and polarizing notes like heavy oud or leather, it is widely liked by both the wearer and those around them.
