Detour Noir Intense

Which Should You Buy?
Craze is a fiercely divisive beast of a scent. Some rave about its rich almond and vanilla, calling it a no-brainer dupe, while others are utterly repulsed, likening it to cleaning products or even worse. Best to sample this one before committing; it's a love-it-or-hate-it affair.
Divisive and not a safe blind buy, Detour Noir Intense demands patience and an appreciation for its unique, intense character. Some will love its creamy, woody vanilla, while others are put off by a 'dirty ashtray' opening. Test before you invest, and let it macerate.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and often mentioned intensity, Craze is perhaps a bit too much for a confined office space. Its warm, nutty-vanilla profile makes it excellent for dates or casual outings, especially in cooler weather, but it lacks the universal appeal for formal events.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and cloying potential, this perfume is better suited for dates and formal events where its richness can shine. While some find it office-appropriate, many note its intensity makes it less ideal for close-quarter professional settings, and its depth rules out sport.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Almond, Vanilla, Powdery accords and Lavender, Almond notes
