Al Haramain Detour Noir
A sweet, elegant crowd-pleaser in the style of Parfums de Marly Layton: crisp apple and lavender up top, a spicy cardamom-and-violet heart, drying to creamy vanilla, sandalwood and amber. Warm, polished and moreish.
About Al Haramain: Al Haramain began in 1970 in Saudi Arabia, where founder Kazi Abdul Haque was inspired by the scent of oud in Makkah, and later made Dubai its home. More than fifty years on, it is still loved for traditional Arabian perfumes — ouds, attars and warm amber scents like its Amber Oud line.

Full description
Al Haramain Detour Noir is a bold, warm unisex fragrance with a spicy-sweet character — luxurious and a little mysterious, designed for those who like depth and warmth in a scent. It is especially well suited to evening wear.
Bergamot, amber and vanilla
It opens with an inviting blend of bergamot, lavender and cinnamon — spicy and fresh at once. The heart brings amber, jasmine and sandalwood for a smooth, exotic warmth, before settling into a rich base of vanilla, musk and amber that leaves a long-lasting, sensual finish.
Elegant and enveloping, Detour Noir wears beautifully after dark. Message us on WhatsApp for a recommendation.
