In 2014, Sarah Horowitz Parfums introduced Halcyon — a fragrance that's hard to forget. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the floral family. It was created by perfumer Sarah Horowitz-Thran. Halcyon — a proud member of the Banque de Parfum collection. The fragrance concentration is perfume extract.
Country of origin — the United States: no wonder the fragrance turned out this refined. Halcyon Sarah Horowitz Parfums unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The note pyramid of Halcyon is built as a layered story, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Sarah Horowitz Parfums comes through in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Perfume extract supports the right density and pace of development.
The accord profile is shaped by these accords: Balsamic, Citrus, Floral and Fruit forming a compact and readable structure. Additional accords such as Musc and Wood enrich the profile without taking over. The gender direction is unisex, which clarifies the composition character.
Without strict stage separation the fragrance opens as a single chord with a inspiring floral mood: Blackcurrant, Mimosa, Osmanthus, Red Orange, Resins, Sandalwood and musk.
The middle and base stages are read as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Fruit, Floral, Citrus and Balsamic. It also reaches into Wood, Musk and Whiteflower.
In summary Halcyon sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best experienced on skin.
