Al Haramain Detour Noir Eau de Perfume Spray for Unisex, 3.33 Ounce

I really like this fragrance. I would say it’s more of a fall maybe leaning more towards a winter fragrance. It gives me wood cabin on a chilly but sunny day with snow on the ground. Hot chocolate and great coversation. It opens up with a slightly fruity yet fresh apple and jasmine with hints of mandarin or some other kind of citrusy middle notes that linger in the air. Which last a good hour or two. During this time duration the middle notes start to fill the air around 20 minutes of your first application creating a warm, powdery, woody, aromatic aroma where the vanilla, bergamot and patchouli start to be the star of the show. Mixed with Subtle hints of the top notes like the lavender and mandarin will still surprise you hear and there and this will be your main scent. It’s a great scent. Real cozy yet spontaneous. The base notes/cool down aroma gives off a warm, spicy, musky ambiance to initiate the “get close” phase of the fragrance. Sandlewood, geranium and guaiac wood set this tone. You can get slight scents of pepper too. The packaging isn’t the greatest so if your a collector or connoisseur you will most likely be shelving this unique sleek bottle by itself. It looks really sophisticated and classy. It takes me to a white collar male who is a big shot and drives a Ferrari. The cap, well at least mine, is very loose so you can just take it off with ease. I’m not sure if that is by design of faulty but either way it’s a good quality of life. It seats properly it’s just something I thought I would mention so you don’t grab the bottle by the cap and end up dropping the bottle. Has a vaporisateur nozzle so you will get great application and coverage with the amount of mist it gives off. I am a one to two spray applicator so this is perfect for me. Gives me longevity with the fragrance and there’s no need to over saturate the scent since it doesn’t have a stream spray. You get a good 100ml or 3.3 fl. oz. That can easily last you 6-12 months. Even longer depending on your application. Overall this fragrance is fresh enough to be a daily on the go, go to scent yet subtle enough to be occasional for more smooth, chill, inviting settings. I would still emphasize I feel this is more of a fall/ winter fragrance. I would recommend. You can’t lose based on the pricing alone

OK... this is gonna seem like I'm digging at it, but this isn't a scent profile that I enjoy, it is, however a 9/10 mass appealing fragrance. It is a 9 because it is a clone and not standalone, but would be a 10 for it's uniqueness if it were it's own thing. In my opinion, Layton smells like Old Spice shower gel with Vanilla and powdery creamy woods; blue shower gel + spice meets niche. This captures the same exact effect with more or less on some of the notes being pronounced or lessened, but I'm a frag head, most won't be able to pick those up. In fact, I'm not buying Layton because of this clone. Maybe I should relent and get Liquid Brun to challenge Altair.... anyway ... It's a fall and winter scent, but because I have other frags, this could be my daily dummy inasmuch as Layton would be. This frag DOES make you wait for it's payoff though, and the payoff is pleasing. I'd wear this with blue/gray suits and herringbone tweeds. Women love this scent profile, and I'm all "meh" ... it's a scent profile I don't have in my collection in mass. It's unisex, but most would believe it masculine. Like it gives, "husband that I admire" energy, "he smells nice" energy, and "he has a good job, he got a lil money" energy but not, "he smells sexy" to my nose. It does have a projection bubble where, about 4 ft away it smells like a powdery sweet version of the opening, but as you draw closer to the source, it smells like the other sweet notes more dominately - which I love. I almost gifted it to my 8 year old just bc it isn't my favorite scent profile, it doesn't mean it's bad, it isn't my cup of tea. Mass appealing fragrance; 9/10. Personal rating 7/10

Al Haramain Detour Noir is a perfume that enters the senses like a whisper in the dim corridors of the mind, evoking both intrigue and unease. Its dark accords—rich, smoky, and subtly spiced—linger with a persistence that fascinates and ensnares, as if the air itself has been imbued with a secret intent. There is a certain melancholy elegance in its presence, a reminder that beauty often walks hand in hand with the shadows that haunt it. Yet, it is not without its imperfections. The complexity, while alluring, may verge on oppressive in prolonged proximity, and its projection, though strong, is uneven in certain atmospheres. I award four stars, for it enthralls with its depth and character, a scent that demands attention yet rewards contemplation. Al Haramain Detour Noir is a companion for those who revel in the mysterious, a perfume that embodies the duality of darkness and allure, of elegance intertwined with the sublime specter of the unknown.

Detour Noir completely exceeded my expectations. The scent is rich, smooth, and beautifully blended with a perfect balance of sweet, woody, and slightly spicy notes. It smells far more expensive than its price would suggest. The performance is excellent, with impressive longevity and strong projection during the first few hours before settling into a refined, long-lasting scent. I’ve received numerous compliments every time I’ve worn it. The bottle is generous, the fragrance is versatile enough for both casual and formal occasions, and the overall quality is exceptional. If you’re looking for an affordable fragrance that performs like a premium designer scent, Al Haramain Detour Noir is an easy five-star recommendation.

This one's a banger. Worth the gamble. It's a real manly scent last decent

I picked this up after hearing it’s a dupe for Parfums de Marly Layton. The scent is definitely in the same ballpark — sweet, spicy, with a warm vanilla and apple vibe. It’s cozy and wearable, especially in cooler weather. Performance is solid for the price. I get around 6–7 hours of wear, which is more than I expected. Projection is moderate — not a room-filler, but people close to you will notice it. That said, the opening can be a little harsh and synthetic. It settles nicely after a few minutes, but the first spray isn’t the smoothest. Also, the bottle design and sprayer feel a bit cheap.

An amazing fragrance which gets me a lot of compliments. It would be considered a springtime summertime scent but it smells is amazing for any occasion. It is the dupe of Layton Parfums de Marly. Also you can't beat that price point!

Great assets for the price, the scent keeps long enough, you can even clean the clothes and the scent will stay... Nice for a night out or cold weather, be aware to use it in clothes you usually don't wear in the morning could be a little bit overwhelming

Smells very complicated, has a scent profile which is warm, sweet and spicy.

Desde la primera pulverización, Detour Noir transmite elegancia y carácter. Es una fragancia intensa pero equilibrada, con una apertura cálida y especiada que evoluciona hacia un fondo dulce, cremoso y ligeramente amaderado. La combinación está muy bien lograda y se siente mucho más cara de lo que realmente cuesta. La duración es excelente: en piel supera fácilmente las 8 horas y en ropa permanece incluso más tiempo. La proyección durante las primeras horas es notable, dejando una estela atractiva sin resultar excesiva. Es un perfume que llama la atención y recibe cumplidos. Me parece especialmente adecuado para otoño e invierno, así como para salidas nocturnas o eventos especiales, aunque también puede usarse en el día si se aplica con moderación. Tiene una personalidad envolvente y sofisticada. Por su calidad, rendimiento y precio, merece sin duda las 5 estrellas. Una compra totalmente recomendable.

o my o my. You can believe the hype. It smells so luxurious, warm, with just a hint of pleasant spice. It reminds me of christmas and all the beautiful memories that can happen in it.

Amazing value for money. I can't compare it to Layton as I have never experienced that fragrance, but I adore the smell of Detour Noir, and definitely agree that it is much akin to apple pie with vanilla ice cream. To me it is heavenly. My first initial impression was not as positive, but after a few weeks of maceration, the scent improves immensely and to me, it is now easily one of my favourite fragrances. The bottle is hideous in design though, atomiser is great. Lasts a good amount of time on skin and on clothes.

Molto simile al "cugino" e molto meno costoso.....consigliato vivamente
