Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Awake EDP
Awake is a proper marmite scent - you'll either love its intensely realistic coffee hit or find it disgustingly cloying. There's no middle ground here, so brace yourself for a potent, divisive experience.
Statement
Our Verdict - Horizon EDT
Davidoff Horizon is a 'love it or hate it' situation thanks to its divisive performance. Some hail it as an absolute cheapie gem, while others are left wondering where it went. Definitely try before you buy a full bottle.

Season and Occasion Fit

Awake

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its potent projection, as noted by many, makes it a bit much for a quiet office, but it shines in casual settings. The unique, gourmand yet unsweetened profile makes it an interesting choice for dates, if you're looking for something edgy.

Horizon

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh and clean, albeit often subtle, character makes it suitable for office and casual wear. The variable performance, which many describe as weak, means it's less ideal for formal events or dates where strong projection is often desired, though some find it perfect for semi-formal settings.
