From your scent profile
Davidoff Horizon is a men's fragrance that sets a fresh opening of grapefruit, mandarin orange and rosemary against a dry, spicy heart of pepper, nutmeg and cedarwood.
Skunky's take: That just-out-of-the-shower feeling, clean and fresh.

What does Horizon smell like?
Citrus and rosemary lead at first, with ginger adding a little warmth. In the heart, pepper and nutmeg bring the spice, while sesame and patchouli pull it toward an earthy tone. Vetiver and cocoa absolute soften the base. Overall it reads fresh, green and woody, with fruity and sweet touches.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it also wears comfortably in summer. It leans toward leisure, business and daily use, and half of the voters call it masculine, with many also finding it classic. Camp David Blue and Nishane Hacivat have a close profile.
