Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Détour Noir Eau de Parfum
This "clone" is highly divisive. Some see a cheap ticket to luxury, others a synthetic nightmare. You'll either get an amazing dupe, or a headache-inducing mess. Don't expect the quality of the original, but for the price, it might just surprise you.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Oud Gaiac Eau de Parfum
This one's a divisive floral-woody affair, leaning sweet and powdery. Some find it a musky, syrupy apple mess; others appreciate its subtle oud and peppery kick. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent.

Season and Occasion Fit

Détour Noir Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate projection and warm, inviting accords make it suitable for dates and casual outings, though the initial synthetic blast noted by some may deter from formal occasions. While many find it versatile for day-to-day, a powerful vanilla-heavy scent might be too much for smaller office environments.

Oud Gaiac Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and winter pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its prominent sweet floral and woody accords, combined with a potentially 'grandma' vibe for some, make it less suitable for formal or office settings. However, its unique and somewhat polarising nature could make it an interesting choice for a casual outing or an intimate date, depending on personal preference.
