Which Should You Buy?

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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Skyline EDP
Skyline For Men recreates Davidoff Horizon, the woody-spicy masculine often likened to a livelier Terre d'Hermes. It captures the fresh ginger-grapefruit opening and that peppery cedar-and-cocoa-vetiver heart, but the dupe flattens the original's contrast and wears closer, trading Horizon's already-moderate longevity for a similarly skin-near budget version.
