Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Armani de Nuit EDT
This is a seriously underrated crowd-pleaser that delivers a dark, refined, and utterly sensual experience. Forget the clones - Eau de Nuit stands alone as a sophisticated, alluring scent that will definitely get you noticed.
Statement
Our Verdict - Detour Noir Intense EDP
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

Armani de Nuit

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its intimate sillage and refined character make it perfect for dates, formal events, and sophisticated evenings. While some find it too formal for the office, its moderate longevity and alluring warmth can translate to quiet confidence in professional settings, though it is ill-suited for casual or active wear.

Detour Noir Intense

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

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.
