The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Horizon by Davidoff, launched in 2016 and crafted by perfumers Jacques Huclier and Olivier Pescheux, is a Woody Spicy fragrance that balances fresh citrus notes with warm spices. The composition opens with ginger and rosemary before transitioning into a heart of grapefruit and mandarin orange. Cedar, patchouli, and pepper form the base, creating a rich and earthy profile. This scent embodies the spirit of Swiss sophistication and elegance, offering an aromatic journey that is both crisp and inviting.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays at the pulse points. The ginger and rosemary top notes are bright but fade quickly, giving way to the rich patchouli and cacao base that lasts throughout the day.
