Al Haramain Perfumes Detour Noir Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Detour Noir Intense opens with Bergamot, Heliotrope, Pink Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lavender, Geranium, and Almond, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Oud, and Guaiac Wood. Al Haramain Perfumes's Detour Noir Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Divisive and not a safe blind buy, Detour Noir Intense demands patience and an appreciation for its unique, intense character. Some will love its creamy, woody vanilla, while others are put off by a 'dirty ashtray' opening. Test before you invest, and let it macerate.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Given its strong projection and cloying potential, this perfume is better suited for dates and formal events where its richness can shine. While some find it office-appropriate, many note its intensity makes it less ideal for close-quarter professional settings, and its depth rules out sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

An intense and complex opening of spicy cardamom and warm pink pepper gives way to creamy, powdery almond and rich vanilla. Touches of delicate lavender and jasmine soften the heart, while a deep, resinous base of oud, amber, and various woods anchors the fragrance, creating a sophisticated and enveloping sweetness that lingers.
