Detour Noir by Al Haramain is a crisp, complex, and warmly spiced fragrance perfect for sophisticated evening wear.

An Inspired Fragrance

This fragrance is inspired by Layton by Parfums de Marly, offering a similar profile of a crisp apple opening leading to a smooth, creamy vanilla and spicy woody base.

This fragrance begins with a crisp, invigorating flash, like biting into a Granny Smith apple while a hidden field of violet and jasmine blooms just beyond a curtain of clean, adventurous air. As the initial brightness settles, the heart reveals a smooth, creamy complexity; golden mandarin and sharp bergamot zest are swirled into a plush velvet cloud of vanilla and deep, earthy patchouli. The final impression is a grounding, enduring warmth. It’s the comforting weight of antique sandalwood and guaiacwood, spiced with the subtle heat of pepper and aromatic cardamom, lending a sophisticated, mossy depth that clings to the skin like a favorite story whispered at dusk. Wearing this scent is like walking through a forest where the air is cool but the ground is warm, a perfect balance of fleeting freshness and profound, lasting character.
