Horizon Davidoff 2016

Davidoff has had a few minor hits lately with "Leather Blend" & some other fragrances depending on taste, but the brand still hasn’t really connected with the old times ("Cool Water", "Relax", "Classic"). A somewhat decent scent like "Horizon" is simply not enough & should not be the goal. It’s just pathetic to lazily drift in the wake of Terre d'Hermes so late. The scent itself isn’t bad; it’s nice. So, the little sister of... Yup. Compared to some, The Game is certainly usable, but overall it’s paler than Casper the friendly ghost.

An office scent, with minimal spicy grapefruit & light woods, especially cedar & pepper. No cocoa, no pep, no base. It hardly gets more defensive, gray & inconspicuous. I’ve rarely smelled less courage in 2016. I would never wear this, not even on the most boring office day - because some PCs, laptops or carpets smell more interesting. Some toilet blocks, canteens & coffees even more so. Everything overshadows this scent & has more character. It’s almost a bit embarrassing. Not just for me, but for every wearer. Some wallflowers, on the other hand, are real showstoppers. It doesn’t always have to be a grand entrance, stinker or star, but a little more would be nice. A bit more individuality, courage, action, innovation - something, dear Davidoff team, just give me something. This here, is certainly a mediocre joke that you hear for the 53rd time. For falling asleep. Not even that. The longer I think about it, the more annoying & meaningless it becomes.

Bottle: nice mix of playful & solid
Longevity: almost solid 6 hours.
Sillage: suitable for any type of office environment. Or not, for those who have read my comment completely.

Conclusion: not a hit from Davidoff & maximally solid - forgotten faster than the latest construction plans for Berlin Airport. Better to keep buying Terre d'Hermes!
