Weird Guy
Without much introduction, I'll get straight to the point.
Scent:
Prominent mint at the beginning, which gives way to the playful transition of all the citrus notes.
Especially pineapple and grapefruit are fighting for dominance.
From my perspective, there's a bit too much patchouli, which is very overpowering; it only becomes bothersome through the cumarin.
As it develops further, it becomes fruitier and slightly sweeter due to the pineapple.
The DNA seems to be built on woody notes, at least that note resonates lightly in the background.
I don't know what some people have with their shower gel; for me, it's a clear citrus scent.
Performance:
Longevity is solid; it lasts a very long time on me, around 8h+ should definitely be achievable.
The sillage, on the other hand, is rather subtle.
Conclusion:
There's definitely something to offer in the scent progression.
I must unfortunately confirm the synthetic aspect (which I'm really not a fan of emphasizing), but it does come across as harsh and ruins the otherwise great scent.
Cheers

Masculinity in a Bottle
Everything has pretty much been said about this fragrance, but it's just too good that I want to add my two cents.
What you get here is definitely not a boring 0815 mainstream designer scent. You get a powerful masculine fragrance that dares to be different.
The scent is very pepper-dominant and clearly stands out for me, closely followed by its woodiness. Grapefruit tries to express its fruitiness in a more bitter than sweet way, but it remains rather subtly perceptible. To balance this, the vanilla steers the fragrance in a slightly sweeter direction, while the smoke brings the necessary depth that makes the scent so special and completes the artwork.
I manage to get through the day well with this fragrance, 6-8 hours are definitely achievable.
The sillage is definitely kept rather subtle, but still well noticeable. This makes it smooth and not as 'aggressive' as one might think.
Top quality, great DNA, and all at a good price. This is one that men should definitely test.
This Is Him! rightly has its place in the fragrance world, and it's no surprise that the scent enjoys such popularity.

Rose/Oud with Courage
I dare to tackle a Rose/Oud review even though this combination is not among my preferred fragrance directions.
The opening is a bit chaotic. Initially, there is a lot of Oud with leather and rose, and the incense slowly but surely makes its entrance with a slight fruitiness that has already been noted by other users.
Once you get past the opening, the fragrance initially remains dominated by Oud/leather, while the rose lingers more in harmony with the incense.
As it develops further, a very subtle vanilla joins the fragrance, making it quite sweet and lovely. The smoky note is only noticeable towards the end.
Later on, it primarily becomes an ordinary but smooth Rose/Oud scent. The leather remains present as an undertone, while the smoke eventually completely dissipates.
Longevity and sillage leave nothing to be desired.
For me, it’s definitely a successful combination, even though some fragrance notes have a hard time with me personally.
Initially a bit 'clumsy' until the notes settle, it then gains its oriental complexity, which remains tangible.
Anyone looking for such Rose/Oud combinations should give it a try.

Powerhouse
Since this is my first and so far only niche fragrance in a bottle, I would like to dedicate a review to it.
The scent is, for me, a blend of complexity, confusion, and ultimately a determination of what it wants to be, which often poses a problem for a unisex fragrance. Even if you don’t understand it at first, it quickly reveals itself as a dark, gloomy woody-spicy scent. The often-mentioned hemp/hashish/cannabis/weed note is more of a silent but perceptive companion, provided that it is indeed included as a fragrance component (Nasomatto likes to keep it exciting). If oud is supposed to be present here, it can also only be sensed as a quiet companion.
What you do perceive all the time is the scent on yourself; it wraps itself around your nose from time to time.
Longevity is a minimum of 14 hours, and the sillage is monstrous - and I’m talking about 3 sprays here. The 30ml bottle is very economical.
All in all, it’s a truly intense DNA that is definitely not for the faint-hearted/nosed. Guaranteed not for the broad masses, beautiful bottle, top quality, and above all, complexity that can still be understood - niche at its best. However, in my opinion, the Black Afgano is too masculine for a unisex fragrance.
