Horizon

I found a 40ml for a good deal, looked up the notes and blind bought. Wow! Did I ever mine a gem that day! While I was checking out the cashier was terribly excited, as she and her Mother had purchased a higher priced bottle for her Step Father as a gift. She wanted to know how many were on the shelf so she could purchase one for her Boyfriend, she said she absolutely loved the smell. This scent is interesting to me because Davidoff is pretty well known for Cool Water. Horizon is refreshing, but not in an aquatic sense. The paragraph up top describes how they wanted to evoke air, depicting a Man on an outdoor adventure/spirit quest. At any rate it does evoke the sense of refreshed warmth, clean fresh air and that good feeling you get on bright sunny warm dry days. My Husband seems to spray this on when we go out alone, and it makes me feel special to get that waft of scent on the breeze when he is next to me. The citrus top when you first spray dissipates into a spicy woody warm fragrance that is still somehow refreshing. Fits my Husbands chemistry perfectly! I highly recommend this! On a side note the bottle does feel like a river rock. I usually don't pay too much attention to bottles, but I think its a nice touch and it plays into the image Davidoff was conjuring.

“Rush Hour” by Dayshell plays. Picture yourself on an open highway. Summer has began its slow transition into autumn and you’re driving at a modest speed towards a desired destination. The sun is reaching the horizon, and the area surrounding you is being blessed with that magnificent magic hour glow. That moment is this fragrance. It’s freeing and liberating. The opening has a soft and refined Mandarin Orange that lies upon a coy Ginger note. They play together perfectly. Their play leads you into a serene Cedar note that grounds the fragrance in a beautiful, smoky, lemony vetiver. The end result is pure confidence. The pepper adds a rugged sense of adventure that creates one of the most incredible bases I’ve ever smelled. This fragrance is masterful. The sillage and longevity are right where they need to be, as the winning quality of this fragrance is the smell, and the nonchalance of it in terms of performance. It captures the feeling of Freedom. An embrace of change, and a ready and blissful forward motion into the Horizon. 9/10

Excellent Fragrance ! Fresh, Clean, Uplifting, Airy and Unique. It won't break the Bank, Easy to wear, Easy to love. I bought it blind-buy after reading the positive comments and watched reviews on YouTube. It smells so good and very pleasant similar to Niche Perfume. Davidoff Horizon is not similar to Terre d' Hermes, and It is not a Copy. This is a Hidden Gem by Two famous Perfumers. It opens up with fresh spicy, citrusy, herbal and spices notes in the background then dry down is warm spicy and woody. It is linear from the opening up to the dry down. Overall, I really enjoy it and I love it. I'm so happy that I have it in my collection and I bought it by chance because It was last one . Longevity is Good. The Ginger and Grapefruit notes are dominant in this perfume. Highly Recommend. This review is based on the new Reformulation bottle and It's Made in France. Two Thumbs Up Bravo Davidoff ! Rating : 8.5 / 10

Strong sillage, good longevity. Sweet, warm, tender, a bit musty. Sesame and cacoa are prominent, along with ginger and vetiver. I love the rosemary that imparts it with that charming cool herbal feel. I don't have la Terre to make any comparison. The scents are pleasant albeit too strong and sweet for crowded spaces like an office or a classroom. Yet for casual wear outdoors in fall or winter it's definitely great. Also, this is not popular as compared to Hermes, Chanel, Artisan blah blah, so it's unique as well. The atomizer is a cute design, and the plastic cap is fine (because one needs to squeeze to pull the cap so it'd better be plastic to do the job). The price means one can spray freely to soak oneself in the juice's sunny vibe. Likely discontinued as it's harder to buy and the price has almost doubled.

Just started wet-shaving again after a couple of years and was looking for some aftershave balm. Bought Davidoff Horizon on a whim but loved the balm so much I bought the EdT the next day. I'm pretty picky when it comes to fragrances. Most smell similar to me and usually contain some note which irritates me after a short time. Not with Horizon! I absolutely love this fragrance and even re-apply (which is quite unusual for me). I'm not good at describing smells but the reminds me of pineforest and some citrus even after the dry-down. It's warm and woody enough for cold days but fresh enough for a warm day as well. Sillage and longevity are moderate on me. I don't feel the need to re-apply until well after noon. I've never had signature fragrance until now!

Nothing but love for this one , a friend of mine that works at red square where they sell fragrances was so eager and forcing me to try this stuff , while at the shop I was wearing angel men and I told him not to spray this on me coz I don't like mixing smells on me . Then I sprayed like two shots at my friends arms and wow wow few mins later this juice was nothing but magnificent smell and projection , most men David off fragrances that I know don't set a standard like this one, and I was so amazed with this one. Guess what ? Later after his shift he brought me a tester full bottle for free and my day went from 0-100% best day ever and I must say I'm happy to own a bottle great JOB!!

Terre d'hermes is one of my favorite fragrances and I ordered this blindly because of all the comparisons. Horizon does not smell like Terre D'Hermes, but I still like it very very much. It smells classy and expensive to me, but I can not exactly pinpoint why. It reminds me of something that I smelled years ago - something that belongs in a luxury boutique. I think it is the grapefruit, combined with the woody notes. Less in-your-face than Terre d'hermes, maybe a little more casual, which makes it а great signature scent for Autumn and Spring for me. Definitely a fragrance for men over 35.

I'm a previous Terre d'Hermes owner, and I can tell you that Davidoff Horizon is much like Terre but a little bit more soft, sweeter, and probably more mature. Contrary to the majority perspective, I found Davidoff Horizon to be fairly long-lasting that the smell can last over 12 hours. However, the signature accord will be missing, and only the base note will remain after 12 hours. A fairly budge-friendly Terre choice, if you are like me who thinks that the original Terre d'Hermes is too harsh and too strong, then horizon can give you the gentle experience of the same smell.

Horizon and Terre d'Hermes are nothing alike and not even a passing resemblance so people need to stop saying Horizon and Terre d'Hermes smell alike. They never smelled alike and that was before and after the reformulation. Horizon is a pleasant scent that almost smells like clean shaving foam and has a barbershop element to it. I like this and it's a good one to wear semi-casually and more formal events. I'm surprised this one doesn't get mentioned much in the community. This one is really underrated and worth a try.

Horizon is a subtle scent but a very good one IMHO. Has a beautiful earthiness to it which develops about a half hour after application. Horizon stays close to the wearer but people will pick it up when they are near you. A couple ladies in work have asked me what it was stating they haven't smelled anything quite like it (they took a note of the name and brand so obviously thinking would be good for their hubbie/boyfriend). Would say this would be great in milder weather such as spring/fall. Thumbs Up! :)

I have been saying it for years, and i will keep on saying it. This is the greatest cheapie of all time! Better than Terre D'Hermes 'which i find boring and too one dimensional. This thing shines on my skin. I always get people asking me what I'm wearing whenever i wear this! I never tell them though 😆 It's fantastic!! 10/10 *Update* This one is now discontinued. I'm so glad i picked up 5 bottles of this, i will never be without it.

My wife surprised me with this because it was clearanced and she liked it. I had passed it a few times at the chemist and didn't pay it any mind. It's easy to ignore with the hundreds of name brand options. I absolutely love it! It's ultra fresh, ginger and pepper that dries down to warm woods. It's moderate, maybe even on the lighter end of "long lasting." I'm seriously thinking about sticking it in my top 5. And I'm picky AF.

*EDITED* Very nice. Wish I could have it except it's way too overpriced and expensive where I am. Seriously what the hell are these distributors taking? Denied! 😯 The scent profile is a mountainside or wide open plain green. Very woody too. Update: I've found it for an affordable price... Hehe, stay tuned..........................................! Batch: A6 from January 2016.

Masculine, Timeless. I'll be the one to say this is a brilliant fragrance amidst the many average ratings. This is a fragrance you can wear day in, day out and expect great reactions from those around you. Im a big fan of the ginger and vetiver combo and always look forward to wearing this. Great release from Davidoff!

I am absolutely speechless at how good this is, for anyone that was a fan of Guerlain's Coriolan back in the 90's this is incredibly similar, closer then L'Instant, as has been mentioned before. Great job Davidoff, best fragrance from that house for a long long time. This is excellent.

I am still wondering what to write about this fragrance, i get a lot of pepper and ginger most of the time, but the other notes blend in and disappers just like that, honestly it reminds me of Terre d'Hermes at least in the drydown.

Don't sleep on this one, people. It's a real gem, especially for the price. A lot of the bad press this received had to with everyone skipping this and going directly to the extreme version, which isn't very good.

Fresh, Woody, Herbal, Mass appealing scent. This fragrance could come off as too mature to some though. The only downside of this fragrance is bad performance otherwise this is a no brainer for 20 bucks!!

To my nose a lot of vetiver and grapefruit.shocked by how much i like this!Getting pretty good projection and longevity,not mindblowingly so but its there and im enjoying it.Feels mature and clean

It opens with rosemary and feint ginger, then I get lots of patchouli and cacao... you see, I run very hot... Then vetyver in the far drydown. It lasts around 7 hours for me. Interesting.

This fragrance has grown on me. I’m wearing it today in a humid weather and it rules! The spicy Vetiver really comes alive and gives off a wonderful aroma.

Statements are so contradictory about it's projection and durance .is there anybody to explain it and help me.

I just love it.Just Amazing when you come out from home.

Davidoff designer meeting: "You know, we came close with Adventure but not close enough! Let's take another swing at the thing!" "Oooo, Ooooo, you know what should help? A quirky "no cap" design just like Hermes did! Something that seems cool, and just gimmicky enough to push folks riding the edge into the sale, but will leave half of the buyers scratching their heads! No, not that sweet twist contraption, Steve! Think cheaper! But put our initials on the top, that was a nice touch." "So basically, just reproduce their bottle?" "NO! Are you kidding me? We not try'n'a be sued! The juice is already 95% the same! Make the bottle taller, that'll throw 'em off!" "Maybe make the juice clear?" "Dammit Steve, of course not! Who's team are you on here? Leave the juice a weak, ambery orange. Let'em know thet're bout to get hit with some dirty citrus!" Perfect! The moment you spray it, Horizon smacks you with that cloudy citrus; not the bright, mass appealing, sparkling kind. No. This is citrus that has given up on life a little. A citrus that's been through a custody battle and gets visitation every other weekend and still pays child support in the form of ginger root and sasame seeds! This is TDH’s opening if you bathed it in river water, rubbed some natural deodorant on its sweaty ripe pits, and whispered affirmations at it under a full moon. It’s citrus that’s trying its best. And honestly? Same. The heart of Horizon is mineral in spirit in the way that big fish tank at Bass Pro is an active river environment. It's giving: man who Googles “how to tie a knot” every single time he needs lash down a tarp on the pick-up. It’s the “I’m rugged” vibe, but with SPF 70 and head to toe Patagonia. It’s the olfactory equivalent of a man who owns a hammock and calls himself and outdoorsman! Then comes the drydown where vetiver joins the chat. Vetiver comes in like a warm Instagram filter. Not the golden hour. Not the magic hour. More like: “I turned the saturation up because life just feels mid from my cubicle.” It’s soft and warm in all the right places but something still seems just a little bit off. Uncanny valley in a bottle. Davidoff Horizon is Davidoff Adventure after therapy and attempting homemade Kombucha. It’s the scent of a man who says “The Appalachain Trail is a total buck list for me” but really just stumbled around REI once looking for the bathroom and ended up buying a carabiner and a North Face sticker for the Tahoe.” And yet... And YET... It’s weirdly charming! Davidoff Horizon is not groundbreaking. Whatever that means. It's not original. It's not terribly strong. It's not even that deep. But it is so damn likable that you forgive it for being a bit of a himbo. It’s the fragrance that says: “I don’t know exactly what I’m doing, but I’m having fun.” And honestly? Same, Horizon. Same.

After trying this out for a month I have changed my mind slightly on this fragrance. Initially I was disappointed by its lack of strong performance and very subtle, dry notes. Now after not touching it for 2 weeks I put it on for a change of pace from my other frags, and what a surprise! Suddenly the ginger was more pronounced and the mandarin was lingering in the background. The patchouli, nutmeg and pepper were there giving it a bit more depth. And the cocao pod added what seemed a richness, almost a slight sweetness not achieved before. And the kicker to me was that it lasted all day and was much nicer in the dry down than the opening. Definitely not linear. It no longer has that dry amber accord to me. I have heard only one person talk about the importance of skin type, diet, and even medication in relation to how a fragrance performs on ones skin. Just one week ago my Dr. told me I could drop one of my medications, and I have been refraining from sugar as well. Very interesting. But I digress. I still believe this is for a much more mature man to wear. But it's a richer and slightly sweeter scent than I originally thought. I no longer regret buying it and look forward to using it all throughout Spring and Summer. Mature, refined, respectful, subtle. For the quiet, confident thinking man who doesn't need to say..."Here I am!" Good performance for 4-5 hours that becomes a skin scent for the rest of the day. I resprayed with 2-3 spritzes in the afternoon for my own pleasure, but it was still noticeable without.

This is my signature scent, I've owned many bottles and continue to rebuy it. It is not the best fragrance there is, when comparing it to some works of art out there. It's also not for everybody. The scent profile is always really flat. There is little difference between the top notes and the base notes. This is actually something that has kept it with me. I know exactly how I smell like. The main scent for me is rosemary, a citric, lemony rosemary. The dried grass/vetiver is there; it has a distinctive sharp, peppery character. I like to layer it: for example Terre d'Hermes Eau Intense, or almost any vetiver is compatible with it. It is old-fashioned, which is the impression I'm looking for. Not sweet, not oriental at all. The overall feel of it is dry, sharp and earthy. I'd describe it as exclusively masculine. An everyday scent, versatile. Doesn't give you a headache as some strong male fragrances do. You can wear it strong and make it overpowering if you wish. Or wear it as a subtle impression in the background. On my skin, it is very long-lasting, but I've heard some people describe it as short duration on theirs. For me, it lasts easily for 8 hours, and stays on my half-worn clothes.

Young man, this is not the fragrance you're looking for. No bold, youthful or sweet notes here. Rather subtle, mature and dry. I am day 3 into my 5 day testing of Davidoff's Horizon. The bottle and presentation are class. But my nose cannot detect any fresh ginger, grapefruit or rosemary. To me I pick up some dry orange, cedar and patchouli mixed in with the vetiver. And much, much later a hint of dry cocao. Strange enough, I get a subtle but consistent amber accord the first 3 hours. It even reminds me of a less feminine version of my wife's Elixer des Merveilles by Hermes, just not as strong. Usually it's very cold here in Switzerland late February. But this week it's been 15 celcius every day so I thought I'd give it a go. I am less than impressed with performance to say the least, but will give it a chance once things warm up a bit. If the covid regs loosen up next month I'll have to douse myself in it and see if anyone in church notices. I paid 25 dollars for it but would not recommend blind buying this at any price.

Mixed feelings about this one. When I first sprayed it, I was surprised as I was hit by an enormous scent memory! Something in this smells exactly like my late grandparents house. I can’t pinpoint what exactly, maybe the furniture? It was quite a distinctive smell that I only came across there and this scent really took me back 40 years. So, as I’m nostalgic, I was happy already. I also liked the scent itself, I get the grapefruit and rosemary, maybe the cacao too. It’s quite aromatic and you do get a scent bubble. Somehow everything combines to give me the impression of leather in the dry down. Not serious leather, just an impression as I say. Sillage and longevity are on the good side of moderate. I wore this in the office and a girl sat nearby started thinking her computer was overheating and mentioned something about a mysterious “toner” type smell she kept getting whiffs of. For a second I hoped it wasn’t me, but I knew it was as her description made sense. That kind of killed it for me and I’ve not worn it since!

Davidoff Horizon is simply nice without being overwhelming, and gives the vibe of the usual CK products that I smell off high school students not too concerned of their choices in fragrance. It's refreshing, citrusy, inoffensive, and lasts decently. First phase (0-2 hr): Off the bat the vetiver and grapefruit combination smacks me in the face. It's a little harsh, but tones down in 3 minutes or so. The citrus sticks out as the vetiver tones down. Second phase (2-4 hr): Citrus domination, a little bit of cedar and patchouli on the scene. Very pleasant and easy on the nose. Beyond this phase, the citrus hangs on and becomes linear. Scent: 6/10. Nothing special; fresh, inoffensive, not much to think about. A zesty, active, and outgoing person. Projection: 7/10. Not powerhouse-like, faint whiffs at arms length. Needs some heat to project well. Versatility: 5/10. Can be used for most informal occasions. Definitely not for winter, and autumn would be a stretch. Overall: 5.5/10 (Decent)

This is an extremely decent and respectable new fragrance from Davidoff. The opening is ginger, grapefruit and that fresh/woody then clean and soapy accord of something more boring or that I would usually label as very mediocre designer business. However, the redeeming characteristics of Horizon are the warmer & dirtier elements in the base. There's patchouli and even a hint of cacao which you'd think has no business being in here but it is and makes for a subtly different dry down. You can't fault this fragrance for maintaining that fresh spicy feel throughout and an almost uplifting menthol type feel to the ginger and spice. I thoroughly enjoyed wearing it the other day. The performance was okay on me but it dies down to a very nice but close dry down which again I can't fault for not being a powerhouse. All in all this is well worth checking out. It didn't blow me away but it's nice to see a new release that is masculine, wearable and with an aspect of interest to it.

Coty, I never would of thought of this being a Davidoff fragrance. All considering, I'm impressed with this juice. Not your typical generic drug store fragrance, it takes on a real attractive spicy/woodsy aroma and continues through. After 10min I'm able to pick up both ginger and rosemary giving it a slightly herbal vib. There's just a hint of grapefruit to balance the spicy/woodsy notes. Longevity and Silage is nice...at least 6hrs. Finally, I'm glad to see that once in awhile a few decent quality fragrance are still being produced at an affordable price...this is definitely one of them.....8/10 Edit; I agree with the review above, Terre D' Hermas is all the note I'm able to pick up. For a very low price, how could you go wrong. Very attractive fragrance at a VERY affordable price.

Holy crap! To my fellow Canuck members, if you head over to your local Shoppers Drug Mart, you may just be able to snag yourself a 75ml bottle of this for $19.99 - like I just did:) I get the grapefruit and ginger right away. So far, so good. Will have to see how it goes from here. Edit: So, a little while after application, the cedar and pepper start to come through. Then, the cacao joins in, and it turns slightly powdery. It transitions from opening to dry down fairly quickly to me, and sadly, there is no trace of it within a couple of hours. Such a shame, because I really like this. It's definitely worth the 20 bucks I paid for it, but I wouldn't pay more than that, given the poor longevity.

I got a sample of this with some shower gel to layer the fragrance. It is a lovely smell that is very subtle. This lovely scent is too weak in my opinion even though I got complimented when in my zone. I get citrus, ginger and pepper with the vetiver giving it a clean fresh scent. The citrus hangs around to the end with the giger. The pepper note is the most distinc note on here. I say this one is a pass for me because it doesn't have any wow factor. That being said it is a good casual fragrance that I think the price will go down on. I don't like the mediocracy with the house of Davidoff in the designer fragrances. Projection 3/10 Longevity 6/10 (3-6 Hrs) Sillage 2/10

This is the fragrance that Adventure should have been. The first rush is grapefruit and mandarin, then the ginger comes through, and the whole thing becomes more woodsy and the vetiver emerges as it settles. I get no patchoulli whatsoever, but that's ok in what is a Spring or summer scent, surely. I can see why it's been likened to Terre D'Hermes. I like this a lot, and its longevity especially, but also its sillage is far better than its close cousin Adventure. A very solid bargain buy for Spring time day wear

As a man under 30 I really like this fragrance, although I have to admit it isn't meant for men under 35 or even 40. It is a nice quality mature scent with the classic Davidoff vibe like Zino. I tested Horizon on my hand yesterday out of curiosity, it stays around a good amount of time and projects pretty well. For the price it's a nice purchase. And if you're into fragrances like this, you should go for it.

I smelled today and i liked it. I get a blast of patchouli, orange, pepper and some cacao and vetiver nuances. These last 2 not very present. It's something that it's not unique but it's a good fragrance for Davidoff. EDIT: Forget the Patchouli. I tried again today and what i got was a strong vetiver with the fresh grapefruit and some pepper and sweet cacao on the background. Very nice scent.

Think I need a full bottle of this as the decant I've got lasts under an hour on my skin and clothes, unless it's a case of don't believe the other reviews?! Mega shame really as it smells great, exactly what I was looking for, sort of an Old Spice/Creed Viking vibe. Feels warm, safe and inviting, the gf loves it, she can't smell it after an hour either though.

It is already available in Portugal and of course I tryed it right away. I know I smelled something similar before but I cannot remember what it was. But it is a nice citrus fragrance, there is a point where it becomes a little similar to L'instant de Guerlain. I can detect a little bit of cacao on it but nothing too big. It is a nice fragrance anyway :)

I've sprayed this on my wrist three times and after two hours it's hardly noticeable. It is the middle of winter and the temperature is about 5-6c. It is lingering but I don't think it will last another hour. I'll give it a bash again in the Spring and Summer und update. It is a Pleasant fragrance but I hope there is more to it!

Got this as a gift and it's definitely a good fresh woody powdery spicy fragrance. Great performance for a cheapy, very versatile but too uptight in personality, not my jam but I can see some people really enjoying it, for the price it's a no brainer if you're into this kind of fragrance.

It's my mistake to buy this with too short time in shop. It is 95% similar to the perfume I already have, John Richmond for men. After 10 minutes, it is the same for my feeling. It is not bad but why I have to buy the same perfume 2 bottles. Very strong ginger note even overnight.

Such an uplifting fragrance. I blind baught this not expecting much but i was shocked at how joyful it is to wear. Wish i got it sooner, its a real bargain aswell Starting to enjoy alot of davidoff scents. Even cool water yet again 9/10 10/10 for price and versatility

A clean, fresh spicy/herbal fragrance. The Rosemary is very noticeable and the patchouli is evident in the dry down. Longevity and silage moderate. No WOW factor, but it's a versatile juice that's pleasant to wear. Not expensive and well worth a try.

A nice scent. Not great. Not bad. Nice. Very wearable for work or daytime. Does NOT smell like Terre d'Hermes, but does follow the same citrus/earthy line. Longevity medium...certainly not as bad on me as it apparently is on others... Not a bad buy.

Woody/earthy, ginger, vetiver and a little bit cedar from the opening to the drydown, it smell like wet tobacco somehow, not bad, suitable for wearing in summer, spring and fall for mature folks.

Thoroughly pleasant...but also thoroughly average. Sweet, spicy, and woody accord that is very pleasant. Better than Adventure, but don't expect anything groundbreaking.

Very nice but soft, subtle, and even five sprays don't last long at all (not on me, anyway). Pity. If it lasted longer it would be in my Top 20.

A lovely perfume. Reminds me of Avon's Ironman but with extra pepper. Longevity and silage good. I'm going to buy this one.

Great vetiver notes. The concentration of the perfum is like 2% a bottle, the worst performance I ever used. Skip it

Wow... Do I smell a fresher version of Zino by Davidoff? It smells prett damn good!
