What does Détour Noir smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend autumn and winter, then spring, and few pick summer. It is chosen most for evenings and nights out, though it is also worn for leisure and daytime. It reads mostly masculine, with a modern feel.

The top holds violet, lavender, jasmine and apple, while the heart brings patchouli, bergamot, mandarin orange and vanilla. The base is gaiac wood, sandalwood, cardamom, geranium and pepper. Gourmand and creamy accents soften the vanilla, and the spice and wood keep the sweetness in check. MAD Parfumeur Trono and Parfums de Marly Layton have a close profile.
