About This Perfume
Al Haramain Detour Noir Intense smells like almond cake with amber and soft spice. Powdery, nutty and warm, with a woody depth underneath.
Bergamot, cardamom, heliotrope and pink pepper open it, a spiced, slightly powdery start. Bitter almond takes the heart alongside geranium, jasmine and lavender, which is where the almond-cake feel really shows up. The base is amber, gaiac wood, oud, sandalwood and vanilla, smooth and grounded.
This 2024 eau de parfum reads unisex and works day or night in spring, fall and winter, especially for casual wear. It lasts a long time and projects to about arm's length, steady and comfortable.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone who loves almond, marzipan-style warmth with woody depth.
- Sample first if: heliotrope and powdery notes tend to feel too soft or dusty on you.
- Skip if: you dislike almond or want something fresh and citrusy.
It scores well on value in the communities Scendira tracks.
Around $33.
