Horizon Eau de Toilette vs No.202 Explorer Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
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.
No.202 is Eden Perfumes' aftershave version of Montblanc Explorer, matching the bergamot-and-pepper opening with a vetiver heart and patchouli-cocoa base. Less rich and shorter-lived than the designer original, but the same modern woody-earthy signature.
