Al Haramain Perfumes
Detour Noir Exclusif EDP
“Layton Exclusif's dark, boozy oud-and-vanilla side with an animalic growl underneath — a cold-weather bruiser for pocket change.”
The take
What works
- ●Dark oud-vanilla-amber profile that leans closer to Layton Exclusif than the base Detour Noir
- ●Nuclear projection and longevity for the money
- ●Pressurized atomizer and a heavy bottle that feel far above the price
Trade-offs
- ●The animalic civet facet is polarizing and wants a light hand
- ●Too dark and heavy for warm weather, and it needs weeks to macerate
