By the editors · 2 min readThis Is Us! opens with an immediate jolt of pink pepper and aldehydes—bright, almost effervescent, like champagne bubbles caught in morning light. The vanilla appears quickly, not as a thick cloud but woven with sandalwood into something smooth and skin-close. There's a faint musk beneath that keeps it from turning too sweet, lending a subtle animalic warmth.
As it settles, the composition becomes softer, almost blurred at the edges. The pepper fades but leaves behind a gentle spice that prevents the vanilla from dominating entirely. It hovers close to the body, intimate rather than projecting, with that sandalwood giving it just enough structure to feel deliberate.
This is a fragrance for someone who wants vanilla without announcing it to the room—wearable in casual settings, approachable but not forgettable. It leans young and uncomplicated, the kind of scent that works equally well on a winter afternoon or a spring evening.
