Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Détour Noir Eau de Parfum
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Leyden Eau de Parfum
Leyden by Maison Alhambra is a divisive clone that needs time to mature. Some find it a mass-appealing, versatile alternative to more expensive options, whilst others slam its 'watery' opening and poor longevity. If you're after a cheap thrill, be prepared for a bit of a gamble.

Season and Occasion Fit

Détour 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 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.

Leyden Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Winter
Also Works:
Spring Autumn

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its versatile and mass-appealing nature makes it suitable for many situations, particularly dates and casual wear. Though some report moderate longevity, the spiced woodiness could be too much for formal settings, and it definitely won't work for sport.
