Our verdict on Detour Noir Intense: Acquired

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.

Casual

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.

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.
