Detour Noir wraps clean florals and plush woods in a warmly spiced aura that feels confident from the first spray. A vivid apple and lavender sparkle eases into vanilla and patchouli brightened by bergamot and mandarin, then settles over sandalwood, cardamom, guaiac wood, pepper, and geranium for a smooth trail that reads refined, modern, and memorable on skin.

Story and Positioning
Positioned as an adventurous spin within the Detour line, this scent balances bright fruit and aromatic florals with creamy woods and spice for an easy signature in cool weather or evening settings. It is widely referenced as an alternative to Parfums de Marly Layton, offering a similarly plush apple vanilla woody profile at a more accessible price point.
Bottle and Design
A matte obsidian glass block keeps the liquid hidden. At the center, a satin gold badge bears Detour Noir with the Al Haramain script beneath. A low square cap with subtle knurling crowns a trim metal ring and settles with a snug, even fit. Thick sidewalls, a level footing, and pared-back detailing give the flacon a quiet contemporary authority.
