Which Should You Buy?
This one's a right old muddle. Some say it's PDM Layton in a fresh suit, others reckon it's an expensive error in a bottle. Al Haramain themselves have weighed in to say it's a 'twisted and modified' Detour Noir, which frankly, clears up nothing. Expect a versatile, crowd-pleasing scent, but don't be surprised if your bottle smells completely different from your mate's.
Seriously, for the price of a posh coffee, you're getting a genuinely attractive, effortlessly French scent. It's a crowd-pleaser that punches well above its weight, delivering that captivating Riviera vibe without breaking the bank.
