Which Should You 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.
This is a bit of a chameleon, Mudhila. Some find it a warm, inviting almond bomb; others get a cumin body odour funk. Definitely sample first, as it's not a safe blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
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.
Seasons
Occasions
Its distinctive spicy-sweet and powdery character lends itself well to evening wear and close encounters. While not overly overpowering, the prominent cumin and almond notes might be a bit much for a formal office setting or vigorous activity.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Almond, Vanilla, Powdery accords and Lavender, Almond notes
