Detour Noir Unisex Fragrance

Apple, lavender, jasmine and violet crowd the top of Detour Noir Perfume, an unusually busy opening for an Al Haramain eau de parfum that only grows more complex from there. Vanilla, patchouli, bergamot and mandarin orange sweeten the middle without losing the fruit and floral character established at the start. Sandalwood, cardamom, pepper, guaiac wood and geranium fill out a spicy, woody base that gives the composition plenty of backbone once the initial brightness fades. Detour Noir Eau de Parfum suits evenings and cooler weather best, when its spiced base has room to fully develop rather than compete with summer heat. Al Haramain has a reputation for offering department store quality at a fraction of the price, and Detour Noir supports that reputation well, layering enough ingredients to avoid feeling simple or one note. Fans of fruity florals with a spiced, woody undertone will find this a satisfying choice for fall and winter wear, whether office or evening.
