About This Perfume
Al Haramain Detour Noir Exclusif smells like roasted almond and warm woods with a whisper of something animalic underneath. It is a gourmand, but a grown-up, slightly shadowy one.
Almond opens it alongside bergamot, mandarin and a touch of aquatic notes. The heart is a full bouquet of gardenia, rose, geranium and water lily, with civet adding that faint animalic warmth. The base is long and layered: coffee, vanilla, amber, sandalwood, gaiac wood, patchouli, oakmoss, pink pepper and oud.
This Eau de Parfum is meant for evenings, and dates in particular, across spring, fall and winter. It lasts a long time and projects to about arm's length, so it stays close enough to feel intimate. The civet and oud make it more divisive than a straight sweet scent.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: people who like their almond and coffee sweetness with a darker, sensual edge.
- Sample first if: animalic notes like civet are new to you.
- Skip if: you want a clean, simple gourmand without florals or musky depth.
Around $26.

Al Haramain Amber Oud Tobacco Edition (Eau de Parfum, 2019) reads as warm spiced vanilla cake with tobacco smoke and dried fruit, opening on cinnamon and tobacco and drying down to black tobacco, dried fruits and woody notes. Al Haramain Amber Oud Gold Edition (Eau de Parfum, 2024) is described as sweet tropical fruit wrapped in warm vanilla and woodsy amber; the opening brings bergamot and green notes, and the base settles on musk, vanilla and woody notes.
