I've read a lot of reviews, and several people have had issues when speaking about Horizon by Davidoff. Honestly, I do not understand why almost everyone disagree with that. Ain't no woof; rather, it is so damn beautiful!
Further, this jewel is on par with Terre d'Hermés, which has been my favorite signature scent, and to my skin and nose, they are two scents apart.
Let's get into the scent. Right after the initial sprinkles DH opens with a blend of citruses and ginger notes, balanced by the aromatic and green rosemary. That mixture is marvelous, unique I would dare, and far far away from the bitterness of TdH's orange, and it lingers around for roughly 10-15 minutes.
What I appreciate most in this scent is the sillage, meaning that I'm used to spraying a couple of droplets behind my neck, and I can detect the beautifulness every time I turn my head.
Smoothly, that prelude moves over to a creamy and woody cedar, which well combines with the earthy vetiver. The sillage calms down a bit, though it stays around your arms, not a skin scent yet. That is the heart, which seems to last forever, definitely quite a few hours.
And then comes the soul, a pleasant and relaxing bitter cocoa like the pure one you can meet in the finest dark chocolate, which gives a gourmand vibe to the earthiness of the vetiver.
Come on, men, it is nearly 3 pm, and after 7 hours, the elegant aura is still around me, in all its boldness. I have barely 250 more scents in my wardrobe and ain't no one similar to this. The more I smell it, the more I fall in love with it, I can't take my nose off of it.
My two cents: DH is an excellent performer, ideal for a business day as well as leisure time, I would dare even for early evening. I am wearing it today, which is the middle of March, and the calm wind of this early spring melts well with it. I would recommend it for late winter and spring as well as for late summer and fall when the temperature stays between 15°C and 20°C degrees. Not sure about its performance in the hot summer, I will have a chance to give it a try.
About the bottle, I adore the design of the metal cap. The glass is cut and frosted on the two laterals and transparent on the back and front sides. The juice's color is similar to a blonde bier, which is good.
