Horizon
Following reviews by Toxicon and Varanis is daunting, so I'll just add a few observations.
I get a scent of a chinese herbalist, with artemesia, gentian, ginseng and similar bitter principles.
That isn't a negative - I have always loved that scent. Mysterious, alchemical. This is soon joined by a slightly less prominent accord of aromatic fougere, bursting with lavender, aldehydes and soapy goodness.
Mixing two quite different accords that I like often results in failure, but here, it works nicely. While not the same, this brings to mind Perry Ellis 360 (the og, not the Red, the one with the blue color), showing a risk-taking approach revered by the niche lovers, by a house and at a price that straddles blind buy and outright.
As made clear by earlier reviews, you will be disappointed if you are expecting a blue freshie.
But if you are one of those people who says "there is no creativity in fragrances anymore", this may be your antidote.
