By the editors · 2 min readHorus opens in the manner of its era — galbanum's crisp, sharp green note and pine cut through a classic bergamot frame before the perfume reveals its real character. The heart is spare and deliberate: lavender keeps things cool, jasmine provides just enough sweetness to round the edges, and vetiver — appearing in both heart and base — gives the fragrance its dry, grounded backbone. The leather base is properly leathery, with patchouli adding earth and musk anchoring the close. This is a textbook 1980s woody chypre: assertive projection, linear development, and a sillage that carries. Suited for formal occasions and cold weather.
