Broadening the horizon
Drakkar Noir is a fragrance that has accompanied me for many years. There is hardly a fragrance to which I reach more often when I do not know what to wear. Guy Laroche has so with this fragrance with me absolutely a stone in the board
That one may limit a brand but not on only one fragrance, shows here Horizon. Horizon is an incredibly fresh fragrance with aquatic impact. However, not the light blue kind of aquatic that one often associates with this genre. Horizon goes in a different direction than usual aquatics. In fact, to me, Horizon is more of an herbaceous green aquatic. I rather think of a deep green sea covered in algae and haunted by storms and waves. The opening is a direct reach into the herb garden. Thyme, allspice, fennel, bay leaf are just a few of the notes that make up this scent. The start may put some off, as Horizon doesn't want to come across as pleasing here. Here, the sea air blows harsh and cool around your nose. The sea salt in the top note is reminiscent of the sea spray when waves break just offshore. Fennel and allspice give the fragrance for a brief moment a slight "soup spice" character, but are then moved by thyme and the cypress in the background.
This is a fragrance that may seem out of time to some today. I would even argue that you have a fragrance here that was ahead of its time in 1993. To this day, I know of few aquatics that go in this direction. An imitator would be the Kenzo Pour Homme, which goes in a similarly tart, herbaceous direction, but at no time can reach the intensity of Horizon.
The shelf life is 8-9 hours. For a fresh fragrance so more than convincing.
The only problem is that it is no longer marketed and discontinued. In Germany, there is currently no reliable dealer. But if you are not afraid of the detour via foreign countries, you can get the 50ml flacons for example from FragranceX for under 8€. Yes, I didn't make a mistake there. 7,95 EUR. I have secured me back then many years ago directly quite a few flacons of it.
Who stands on absolutely masculine and aquatic-fresh fragrances, but the focus is not on the azure-blue sea, but on an emerald-green sea, will find the perfect companion in the Horizon
