Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Montabaco Verano
This one's a divisive beast. Some reckon it's a sophisticated masterpiece for the warmer months, others find it a metallic scrubber. Definitely not a blind buy - sample first, especially if you're not keen on a prominent, at times harsh, grapefruit and suede combination.

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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Montabaco Verano

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its fresh and sophisticated character makes it versatile for casual outings and dates, while the strong projection reported by many users means going easy on the trigger for the office. The unique combination of notes might be a bit too daring for highly formal settings, and the tobacco-suede depth makes it less ideal for purely athletic activities.

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.
