Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Détour Noir

This "clone" is highly divisive. Some see a cheap ticket to luxury, others a synthetic nightmare. You'll either get an amazing dupe, or a headache-inducing mess. Don't expect the quality of the original, but for the price, it might just surprise you.

Our Verdict - Chanson d'

This 90s classic is a divisive little number. Some find it a clean, fresh, green dream for summer but others reckon it's a bit too masculine, smelling like shower gel or even bug spray. Definitely a 'try before you buy', unless you're feeling nostalgic.

Season and Occasion Fit

Détour Noir

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 moderate projection and warm, inviting accords make it suitable for dates and casual outings, though the initial synthetic blast noted by some may deter from formal occasions. While many find it versatile for day-to-day, a powerful vanilla-heavy scent might be too much for smaller office environments.

Chanson d'

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office

Its fresh, green, and often described as 'shampoo-like' or 'out of the shower' aroma makes it perfect for casual wear and suitable for sports. While some find its sillage potent, others highlight its intimacy, allowing it to work for office environments if applied lightly. However, it lacks the depth and sophistication typically desired for date nights or formal events.
