This Is Him! Undressed

A nicely composed, everyday scent that doesn’t cost a fortune; citrus floral in the top notes (courtesy of a lively grapefruit , softened by a beautiful orange blossom) given a spicy kick by the pink pepper; a salty, skin-like musk accord supported by ambroxan in the midsection and in the closing act, a light touch of cedar and sandalwood. I don’t get any moss but all the other components seem to be present and accounted for. Easy-to-wear and perhaps it will read as a bit too intimate and quiet for anyone accustomed to “loud” scents with a reach of three city blocks, but if you’re looking for a modern scent that might encourage someone to get a little closer, put this on your “To Try” list. Worth mentioning: During its final stages, this veers rather close to perfumer Lorson’s AnOther 13, for Le Labo.

This parfume is just so great. It is different from everything else in my collection. This is just so relaxing and enjoyable. I don't have many of these in my collection. But I do have a few mellow ones, like Montblanc Starwalker, Acqua di Parma, Blu Mediterraneo - Mandorlo di Sicilia & Shiyaaka (which is similar to Reflection Man from Amouage). If I had to describe the scent, This Is Him! Undressed in very few words, I would compare it to something. This smells like Dunhill Icon, if that scent was a skin scent, and made ready for bed. Now, don't get me wrong, they are very different from each other, but there are some Icon smell in this. Is it blind by safe?, no it is not. Many would prefer something much stronger. But if you want something that is smelling fantastic, without shouting, this is it.

I went to Sephora to try out some fragrances and I discovered this hidden gem, it smells like fresh clothes ironed with very good quality soap kind of like prada l'homme and a slightly citric and masculine(probably from the ambroxan). It's a perfect clean smell. Also very comfy , I would wear this on a white t shirt and blue jeans or hoodie, it works with a suit aswell. 10/10 for me , better than any "blue" fragrance. It lasts on my skin for about 6-7h with arm length projection in the first 2h.

Shame this fragrance is so overlooked. Perhaps if Le Labo had been presented this formula by perfumer Lorson, and they christened it Pamplemousse 18, it would get more love. That said, don’t let the silly name put you off. It’s a well-composed perfume, that’s easy to wear, and doesn’t cost a fortune. My full review is somewhere below.

For me it’s an unique masterpiece, it smells like you do not wear fragrance just have a pretty good natural smell. It’s perfect if you do not want to be an annoying fragrance guy, who’s fragrance detectable from the other side of the corridor, I am a huge fan of the original This is him, wanted a summer version and that’s it!
