The review
On paper, Detour Noir is a strong bet if you want Layton for less.
Al Haramain sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Layton's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $32 per 100ml it costs 90% less than Layton — the 4th cheapest of 15 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Al Haramain publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on apple, bergamot and mandarin, turns to lavender, geranium and violet, and settles into vanilla, guaiac wood and cardamom. That is the brief Detour Noir is working from.
Top
- apple
- bergamot
- mandarin
Heart
- lavender
- geranium
- violet
Base
- vanilla
- guaiac wood
- cardamom
For the one who lingers in memory. Crisp apple and bergamot melt into spiced vanilla and guaiac — sweet, warm, unforgettable.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 21 twins of Parfums de Marly Layton we can price, Detour Noir is number 4 on price per 100ml.
