Clone / Inspiration Info

Détour Noir is widely regarded as a strong alternative to Parfums de Marly Layton — many reviewers call it a “clone” or “inspired by” that fragrance.
If you enjoy the profile of Layton (apple opening, vanilla dry-down, woods), Détour Noir offers a very similar experience at a lower cost.
