Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Détour Rouge

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.

Our Verdict - L'Aventure Iris

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some love its unique aromatic iris, others find it too reminiscent of church or soap. Give it time to macerate, then decide if its powdery floral charms are for you.

Season and Occasion Fit

Détour Rouge

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its noted versatility and crowd-pleasing nature, as highlighted in reviews, make it suitable for casual and date settings. While some reviewers call it a 'freshie', its aromatic and warm spicy facets, coupled with mentions of 'potent' performance, mean it's less ideal for formal situations and office wear where subtlety is key.

Office Casual

Given its aromatic and subtly powdery nature, this scent is quite versatile. It's refined enough for formal settings and dates, while its clean feel makes it acceptable for the office, though perhaps a bit much for purely casual daytime wear or sport.
