Al Haramain Detour Noir EDP 100ml – Long-Lasting Unisex Perfume, Oriental Arabic Fragrance with Amber, Musk & Spicy Floral Notes, Gift for Men & Women (Floral)

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.

This fragrance delivers a refined and well-balanced scent profile with a distinctly luxurious character. It is warm, elegant and suitable for evening wear or formal occasions. The composition feels rich without being overpowering, offering a smooth and confident presence. Longevity and projection are both very good, lasting several hours on the skin. Considering the price point, the quality exceeds expectations. A solid choice for those seeking a sophisticated and long-lasting fragrance.

Nice fragrance & value for the money.

I'd heard a lot of good things about this fragrance, and thought it wasn't an extreme push to pay for it compared to the average price of perfumes. What I received was so much better than I could have expected! It's super strong, but not overpowering, and it's such a good quality scent, which lasts overnight on me. It does list that it's suitable for men and women, and while I enjoy it a lot as a man, I'm sure it could also suit women well too as it's not overbearingly masculine. Only downside could be that the bottle looks a quite ugly and would probably stand out with a premium collection, but that helps with the charm that it's a bit of a rough diamond. Extremely happy with it considering you would normally have to spend upwards of £60 for something that smells this good for this long.

Initial spray is a syrupy mess. 15 minutes in the Layton comes in. I can't comment on longevity yet but by the intensity of the smell I'd say the bottle I received was not watered down by any means. I suspect it will stick on clothes for an eternity. As usual, if you're not quite happy with default longevity, I'd recommend applying a bit of petroleum jelly on your neck. Presentation 1/5 extremely ugly with plastic and very cheap feeling cap Scent initial spray 3/5 syrupy and overwhelming with lavender and violet almost suffocated by the piercing and sweet vanilla Scent 15 minutes and beyond 5/5 settles down and you can distinguish certain notes more easily such as geranium, mandarin and cardamom. Silage TBA edit a good 6ft bubble for around 4-5 hours after which gives good whiffs for the rest of the day Longevity TBA edit full day 😊 Atomiser 3/5 more difficult to spray than almost any other atomiser in my collection. Sprays a very fine mist of perfume. As I am writing this I think the atomiser might be actually a nice 4 - you have some great control over the amount of perfume you apply.

Disappointed overall. Inoffensive but compared to the reviews on here, it's far from what was expected. 5/10.

OK, I see a lot of people saying it doesn't last. Listen I've just ordered this and went nose blind 1st time because it is actually strong. The 2nd day I applied it I tried the smallest spray from further away and I didn't even give it a full press and I noticed it was 100x better using it that way. It clearly is strong and on the first day I said I went nose blind I know this because I could hardly smell it then today spraying much less actually stopped me going nose blind and it does smell like Layton, I own Layton also and had around 5-10ml left abs ordered this. I won't go buying Layton now. Its 90-95% similar and the opening is almost identical. The dry down is also nice, Heard "experts" say it can be slightly synthetic? Nonsense is smells amazing. There Is a good reason why this stuff gets close to 5/5 stars !!!! It's basically Layton ... without the huge price tag. It also lasts on the skin. As I say 1st time I used too much went nose blind and the next day I could smell it still strong on my arm inside elbow. That's how I know i was nose blind and using much less spray actually is better because you can smell it better although projection is only about 2 feet for 5 hours. Walk past someone close and they will smell it 6 hours later even if you think they can't. Sorry long msg I was so hesitant to buy this because of mixed comments but I will prob buy a more misty atomiser and decant mine into another bottle to spray more of a fine mist because its absolutely stunning the smell of it. I own lots btw from top end Niche to designer affordable brands.

The perfume is really good quality except the initial blast. Just after 1 min of spray it becomes a really nice fruity and sweet scent. However, unfortunately I received a defective bottle. Liquid is accumulated around the atomizer, it looks like a leak. Will have to return this bottle, but I'm surely going to buy again straight away.

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.

Was not skeptic about this one..after day 3 onwards I felt it’s well worth buying.. more expectation over the time which is normal for most of the middle eastern fragrances..

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.

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

I was skeptical to purchase Al Haramain's Detour Noir, but purchased it anyway since it's highly rated by some. So, I was so excited to open the package when it arrived. Honestly, I didn't like the bottle as it's awkward to spritz and the nozzle keeps falling off. The opening smells fresh, citrusy and woody, with sweet vanilla almond and musk; and I thought at first that it leans more on the musculine side, but just wait until the dry down. It has a very good projection as the clean-fresh vibe will surely fill the entire room. Unfortunately, it does not last that long on my skin (4-6 hours), but who cares, it's affordable at 145 SAR compared to Layton, and I love the smell! Highly recommended to men and women alike.
