Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Venice Eau de Parfum

This 80s powerhouse, often compared to Obsession and Must de Cartier, is a divisive but deeply loved oriental. If you like classic, warm, spicy scents, Venice is a hidden gem, though good luck finding a full bottle. It's not for everyone, but those who love it, really love it.

Our Verdict - Detour Noir Exclusif Eau de Parfum

This is very much a 'love it or hate it' scent, with strong opinions on both sides. Some hail it as a cheap PDM dupe that improves with maceration, others find it a "jumbled mess" of synthetic, funky notes. Approach with caution and an open mind, as this one is definitely not for everyone.

Season and Occasion Fit

Venice Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its potent, warm, and spicy oriental profile, frequently described as 'heavy' and 'intense,' makes it less suitable for office or casual wear where subtlety is preferred. However, its romantic and sensual nature, with impressive lasting power, is perfectly suited for date nights and formal evening events.

Detour Noir Exclusif Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its potent projection and unique, dark profile make it less suitable for office wear, where it might be too intrusive. However, its sophisticated and bold character, especially after maceration, is excellent for dates and formal events, though perhaps a bit much for casual daytime use given its intensity.
