Horizon

by Alain Astori

Guy Laroche Horizon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1993, created by Alain Astori. Horizon opens with Lavender, Mint, Aldehydes, and Green, settles into a heart of Rose, Caraway, Jasmine, and Cyclamen, and dries down to a base of Leather, Salt, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Guy Laroche's Horizon carries a Statement verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This 90s powerhouse is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. For those who get it, Horizon is a cheapie gem, a unique blend of green, aquatic, and aromatic notes that stands out from the crowd. For others, it's a muddled mess of pine and synthetic weirdness.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its moderate projection and longevity make it versatile for casual wear and even some sport activities where a clean scent is desired. However, its strong, sometimes polarising opening and classic barbershop vibe might not suit every office or date scenario.

About

Horizon opens with a bracing blast of green mint and aldehydic freshness, quickly joined by crisp pine and herbal artemisia. As it settles, a surprising salty, almost marine quality emerges, intertwined with subtle floral nuances of cyclamen and caraway. The dry down is a classic masculine blend of earthy oakmoss, warm sandalwood, and a soft leather, leaving a trail that's both retro and strangely modern. Expect something green, woody, and a bit unexpected.
