Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Craze Noir Eau de Parfum
This one's a head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a dead ringer for Pegasus, while others smell Lacoste Noir - or nothing much at all. What everyone agrees on is that it's strong and a bit of a bargain, making it a safe blind buy for those who like a gamble.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Detour Noir Intense Eau de Parfum
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

Craze Noir Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its potent projection and longevity, as often noted, make it less suitable for an office environment unless applied sparingly. However, its clean, warm profile shines on dates, evenings, and casual outings, offering a sophisticated yet inviting aura. It's a bit too dark and heavy for sports.

Detour Noir Intense Eau de Parfum

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.
