Which Should You Buy?
Lalique Le Parfum is a divisive, multifaceted vanilla. Some find it a classy, aromatic dream, others a medicinal, old-fashioned nightmare. Dive in if you're keen on intriguing vanilla with a spicy, herbal twist, but perhaps don't blind buy.
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.

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.
