Al Haramain Perfumes Detour Noir Exclusif is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. The fragrance opens with Rainwater, Bergamot, Mandarin, and Almond, settles into a heart of Civet, Rose, Gardenia, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Guaiac Wood, and Oakmoss.

Our verdict on Detour Noir Exclusif: Acquired

This is very much a 'love it or hate it' scent, with strong opinions on both sides. Some hail it as a cheap PDM dupe that improves with maceration, others find it a "jumbled mess" of synthetic, funky notes. Approach with caution and an open mind, as this one is definitely not for everyone.

Best Seasons

Best For:

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and unique, dark profile make it less suitable for office wear, where it might be too intrusive. However, its sophisticated and bold character, especially after maceration, is excellent for dates and formal events, though perhaps a bit much for casual daytime use given its intensity.

About

Detour Noir Exclusif opens with an intriguing blend of bitter almond and fresh rainwater, cut by bright bergamot and mandarin. The heart introduces a potent animalic civet alongside lush gardenia, rose, geranium, and delicate water lily, lending a complex, slightly indolic floralcy. It dries down to a rich, dark base of coffee, sandalwood, an intense oud, grounding patchouli, guaiac wood, and oakmoss, softened by amber, vanilla, and a hint of pink pepper. This beastly concoction offers serious depth and a slightly medicinal edge.
