Al Haramain Perfumes Détour Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Détour Noir opens with Jasmine, Violet, Lavender, and Apple, settles into a heart of Bergamot, Mandarin, Patchouli, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Guaiac Wood, Geranium, and Pepper. Al Haramain Perfumes's Détour Noir carries an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

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.

About

Détour Noir opens with a burst of crisp apple and aromatic lavender, quickly ushering in a warm, spicy heart of vanilla and patchouli with hints of bright mandarin. The journey settles into a rich, woody base of sandalwood, guaiac wood, and a peppery, cardamom-infused warmth. It's a comforting yet sophisticated blend that leans into a cozy 'apple pie' vibe in the drydown, with a subtle powdery finish.
