So glad to finally see this one getting love! Super amazing under the radar fragrance and super cheap! I have compared side by side. Layton is ever so slightly fruitier and detour is more creamy. I've found detour to actually last longer than Layton.
I read the comments and I feel like everyone is wearing Layton but it’s because it comes from the fragrance community. The average person isn’t going around spending and smelling a $150 fragrance, which is why I love watching these videos because I know what I’m wearing is something special and unique 😂
Al Haramain is a Bangladeshi company based in the UAE. .. Who would've ever thought that a Bangladeshi perfumery could become one of the best budget perfume brand in the world. .. on the other hand it's not surprising either since Bangladesh is pretty known for it's fashion industry.
I just ordered it today. I've only been in the fragrance game for a little over a year. I'm already at over 60 different ones and i'm trying to minimize that. I feel like some of these better clothes aren't gonna be this cheap forever. At first I thought all of it was just hype.
Purchased Detour based on Layton being a highly rated fragrance. Popped myself down to Selfridge's today for a sample of Layton. My nose honestly cannot tell them apart, has been a few hrs now & both still neck & neck on performance & scent. For the price this is an absolute no brainer. Shame as I'm not in love with the fragrance as spicy ain't my thang. Sure I will love in time
Just got my bottle of Detour Noir today & feeling similar about not being over the top about it. All I did was 2 sprays on my neck & I feel like I have a slight headache already. Might have to send it back as I guess DN/Layton isn't my thing
Just got my bottle of this in tonight too, they must have changed the atomizer recently bro because mine is much different than that one you got there. The one on mine is pressurized for sure and it has a massive spray on it. Great review though! And love this fragrance!
@@stansmith5610 It's usually when a combo of UA-camrs start hyping it. I could be wrong but he did a few mentions of Halloween Man X before, then this fall everyone started hyping it and it almost sold out.
Hey Ash, great job! I got this and i would say that for this price tag this is fine. It has not the same depth , it is fresher but in the air it is quite similar. I own layton as well and i save it for more special occasions.
Cap is bad but I do like the bottle design, and it fits perfectly in the palm of your hand. I can set the spray to come out in one direction and always point in the right direction. The juice....is absolutely delicious, clone or not!!!! Sorry...love the opening too. I will buy it again, even if it comes in a milk carton. Thank you, Ash, as always! Noobs...check Gents Scents first!!!
You're going to love it bottle is garbage but the scent is so worth it. *tip, I'd recommend going without the cap as it's just the biggest annoyance. I hope they change up the bottle to be much nicer like the amber oud line.
So glad you did this Ash,I've been beating the drum about this for the last 6 months.It is so close it's unbelievable and I purchased 4 back up bottles so I never go without.
Thank you for a review Ash😀👍 One addition only, i wouldn't call Al Haramain a straight clone house. Yes, they have quite a bit clones, but at the same time they have much wider range of original frags and oils. 🙂
Thank you a hundred times over!! i bought detour and it smells like my signature scent i had in the 90's, it was Venezia Uomo by Laura Biagotti, discontinued now for about 20 years. I gave up finding a real replacement other than Boss bottled wich is now so reformulated that it's lost it's spark. I actually have Venezia Uomo but the botlle is ancient and it turned a bit musky but still has the original notes in the background. Al Haramain Detour Noir especially on the drydown is how i remembered Venezia Uomo when i was young. My girl asked me if i saw a ghost after i smelled it:) i said nahh i just stumbled on my favorite discontinued fragrance from the 90's. Dude i can't thank you enough!! i saw a couple of reviews but yours made me bother trying it out, 2 more bottles coming my way:)
I know this video is a year old but i literally just got my bottle in and man....the 1st impression and intial blast was like Heaven in a bottle!!! Man this stuff smells absolutely amazing!! Can't wait to shower 🚿 and hit the streets and see how the performance is!
I have Layton and I love it. I also have a clone of Layton from Alexandria which is just as great and long lasting. I’m on a business trip right now and i have the clone (Royal Equestrian) because its smaller, easy to pack, bottle plus if i lose it it won’t be as big a hit on my wallet. I travel with clones and keep my originals at home.
I love Royal Equestrian and ditched my Layton when I found it. The PDM lasted about 4 hours and only projected for 1. That said RE is still quite expensive as a clone (not that I mind that) with this one being worth a punt at about 5 times less per ml.
Traveling with clones helps your pocket just in case you lose the originalas you said, but I think it's wiser to decant the sample you love and travel with them instead. It does what the clone is supposed to do plus you smell the original all the time.
Someone give this guy a medal. What a great scent. Ash, your "nose" has never let me down. Because of you I now got my eyes on Missoni Wave and Lattafa Oud for Glory. Any suggestions for an alternative to roja enigma, something with that coca-cola vibe?
Hello Ash ,how are you? Thanks for that great video and review. I have never had Layton but I have had clones. I have got to try this one. Stay safe brother
Well I believe in your review it looks great but because your review on layton I watched month ago I have a bottle of the layton I am beginner in fragrances world I have 6 bottles and all of them was blind buy after watching your reviews on Carlisle, layton, percival, oud for greatness, side effect and cdnim limited edition. I am learning a lot with you ASH thank you so much
You have giving me great advise via your videos , my s=brother would waste my creed adventus and you did a video talking about a match that was identical with al haramain l’aventure and i got it from him and i tested it before giving it him i spray creed on my right hand and l’aventure on the left and i had a couple of my friend smell it and they thought it was the same fragrance from the opening until a few hours later, I gave it to him at Christmas and he ended up buying a 2 more bottle of this fragrance, and even me that i been wearing creed adventus from the start of the fragrance that 13 plus years and I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference, so i will follow your advise on the al harámain de tour noir as im tired of using my brand name fragrances and then run out and having to replace them. Its gets expensive . So i will order detour noir
I bought a new bottle of Layton a few months ago, it's the reformulated version with 82% alc. and the batch code (2021321) tells me it was made in January 2022. Now I've had some decants of Layton (2019 & 2020 batches) that smelled better than Detour Noir, although Detour Noir comes very close. But compared to my new bottle of Layton, Detour Noir smells WAY better. My new Layton smells artificial, and has bad performance. Honestly be very careful about buying the new 82% alc. Layton batches, I don't know any other 82% batches apart from mine, but mine is absolutely awful. Don't buy the January 2022 Layton batch (2021321) guys, Detour Noir is like 10% the price and smells BETTER, and much closer to old Layton batches...
Now that it has macerated for a few months, scent has probably changed to be closer to what you had experienced before? Are you still disliking your 2022 Layton bottle or has it gotten better over time?
For the Brazilian viewers looking for a Layton clone locally, check out Lord Town from In the Box. Amazing inexpensive alternative really close to Layton.
This is uncanny, I was literally just looking for a Layton clone on UA-cam when my boy GENTS SCENTS jumped in and saved the day. I Appreciate your videos man
I wish clone houses would do more PDM fragrances. Pegasus Exclusif is my favorite from PDM, but there are no clones of it as far as I am aware. Even Parfums Vintage only has Vellichor which is a clone of PDM Layton.
Wearing it now. The name of the fragrance has been rubbed off the bottle when it was transit. Regardless, the scent is amazing. Pretty rich for a cheapie.
I love this channel and the reviews are exceptional. That said you could knock the time in half if you didn’t say the same thing over and over and just get to the point. I’m not hating at all, it’s just sometimes you just want to get to it and be done.
ive heard bad things about the atomizer but i got it recently and the atomizer is actually amazing and i believe pressurized maybe since mine is newer?
I am not sure about the projection on DN (I haven't tried Layton). I feel like after 30 minutes or 1 hour max, it becomes a skin scent. Noone seems to notice that I am wearing fragrance when i use DN
I just got my bottle. What a great find. I just found my new gym scent. It smells fantastic and it’s inexpensive. And yes the bottle is atrocious. Great call by you sir.
Just picked up a bottle from Fragrancebuy. The presentation is as bad as I've seen. The bottle, cap, box...everything is absolutely fugly. I sold my bottle of Layton last year and I've missed it since...saw this video, found a bottle and paid $37.95 CDN...sprayed it on...and it's bye bye Layton...this is an absolute steal of a deal. There's a small difference in the first few seconds of the opening but after there's ZERO difference to my nose after about 30 seconds. Thanks for this video...saved me lots of $$$
I just got a bottle through Amazon and same. It might be the best atomizer in my collection lol. Its really amazing. One spray I can cover from one side of my neck across the back and to the other side.
I have Layton, its a great Fragrance. I also have Dua's Royal Chariot Attar their clone of it. Its very very close to the original. But longer lasting.
Mine came today wow I actually can't believe the magic in this bottle, yes it's tacky and cheap looking but wow the scent is 😍 I'm going too test tomorrow at work I'll update 👍
Just bought mine! Funny thing is I have Layton in my cart for valentines days for myself right now. I’ll wait and see how this 30 bucks pans out thanks Ash!’
Shipment just came in yesterday. Sprayed on today 4 sprays. Banging!!! Scent trail is just right. My wife asked me to wear it more often. In contrast I also bout Dior homme intense and wore that Tuesday. My wife didn’t say anything. But I like that one as well. Anyway thanks again ash just ordered another bottle it’s only 30 bucks! (20 min later) nevermind it’s sold out. Dang
I find this a bit weird because I bought it a month ago and mine it definitely has a almond heliotrope opening with a musky sandalwood drydown. I said it smelled like a lighter more floral seminalis by orto parisi. I certainly don't get apple or lavender with cardamom. I bought it from Al haramain UK.
I read from somebody who was in contact with the support-service of Al Haramain that they discontinued the scent and is no more produced :/ Was really happy to hear from affordable alternative for layton...
I've just got a real Layton and this is bang on for a cheapie smells the same obviously the real one is better quality but the scent is so so close now I can have both 😊
I purchased Al Haramain Amber Oud Tobacco Edition... after seeing all the comparisons to TF Tobacco Vanille... not happy with it... this is just a cinnamon bomb on opening... dry down you start to get other notes but they hardly present through the cinnamon... and I don't detect the tobacco
Thanks now ordered! 👍 I'm wondering if they inadvertently flipped the notes as they actually have two "Detour" Fragrances, 'Noir' and 'Rouge' (note breakdowns from their website below) - has anyone smelt Rouge? Detour Rouge Fragrance Notes Top note: Lavender, Bergamot, Cardamom Middle note: Tobacco, Black Tea Leaves, Violet Base note: Tonka Beans, Musk, Cedarwood Detour Noir Fragrance Notes Top note: Almond, Jasmine, Cypress Middle note: Amber, Cedarwood, Heliotrop Base note: Vanilla, Musk, Sandalwood
@@nathanieltomlinson1148 I'm wondering if that means Rouge smells like PDM Pegasus, wish I'd bought that too now as they had both for £30 but I didn't see it. Al Haramain do have Royal Stallion for a Pegasus clone though it is expensive, almost equivalent to Pegasus on some sites, especially when considering the price per 'ml' as Pegasus is 125ml & Royal Stallion is 95ml.
@@lndiscalling haha. I saw that deal also and had a moment of thinking, "How do you return to the site?", then I remembered I have Craze by Armaf and just accepted my lack of observation. Notino had sold out of Noir as I was about to buy, so I sort of hurriedly bought a bottle... even though I have a bottle of Layton and hardly wear it. I confuse myself sometimes.
@@nathanieltomlinson1148 Yes Notino said it's had four Noir in stock but as soon as I added it out was out of stock! 😱 Luckily Al Haramain UK website has loads in stock and they're only five minutes down the road from me - I'll buy Rouge next month to see what is about as it's only £17 on its own and I might have to pop in there some day as I think they have a customer section.
Detour noir is one of the best clones, hands down. Imo. Of all time. Imo it's 95%+ to Layton. The longevity is very close to PDM and projection is the same!!! Phenomenal, clone of all time. I've done a side by side many times and even then, it's extremely hard to tell the difference, if even possible.
So glad to finally see this one getting love! Super amazing under the radar fragrance and super cheap! I have compared side by side. Layton is ever so slightly fruitier and detour is more creamy. I've found detour to actually last longer than Layton.
The creaminess is real
Clones are taking over the fragrance game, robots are taking over the world!
There is unbalance in the force.

Uploaded this just in time. I was gonna buy last night but wanted to think about it first but now i know I'll purchase it thanks Ash!
I realize this review is a year old, but the atomizer issue has been addressed. Now it sprays like the Dior Savage atomizer (one of my favourites).
The bottle I just got as well, its impressive. Better than my Sauvage.
I'm glad you did a review on this, I was just creeping Fragrantica the other day and found this gem and it's on my "I want this" list now.

@@DarkKnight--22 Thx man
Thanks for the update appreciate it bro 🔌
Well how is the comparison to Lalique white in Black?.....I understand that is supposed to be very similar to Layton.
Just bought mine! Funny thing is I have Layton in my cart for valentines days for myself right now. I’ll wait and see how this 30 bucks pans out thanks Ash!’
Should have just bought the original
I have Layton in the mail lol
Shipment just came in yesterday.
Sprayed on today 4 sprays. Banging!!! Scent trail is just right. My wife asked me to wear it more often. In contrast I also bout Dior homme intense and wore that Tuesday. My wife didn’t say anything. But I like that one as well. Anyway thanks again ash just ordered another bottle it’s only 30 bucks!
(20 min later) nevermind it’s sold out. Dang
I searched for that bottle but the one i found it has the same name but the cap and letters are red, is it still the same ?
Just bought it ..on Ebay...Thanks Ash 😃...$35..👈...3.4 oz
I find this a bit weird because I bought it a month ago and mine it definitely has a almond heliotrope opening with a musky sandalwood drydown. I said it smelled like a lighter more floral seminalis by orto parisi. I certainly don't get apple or lavender with cardamom. I bought it from Al haramain UK.
I bought this from Notino for 12€ last year lol. Instantly ordered 2 backup bottles
I read from somebody who was in contact with the support-service of Al Haramain that they discontinued the scent and is no more produced :/ Was really happy to hear from affordable alternative for layton...
I've just got a real Layton and this is bang on for a cheapie smells the same obviously the real one is better quality but the scent is so so close now I can have both 😊
Wore this one today it's amazing
Great video but cannot seem to find this anywhere! Everyone is sold out unfortunately....
I like Alexandra's take on Layton. I think it's one of the best.
I purchased Al Haramain Amber Oud Tobacco Edition... after seeing all the comparisons to TF Tobacco Vanille... not happy with it... this is just a cinnamon bomb on opening... dry down you start to get other notes but they hardly present through the cinnamon... and I don't detect the tobacco
Yeah I have that to. Smells like a cinnamon honey fragrance. No tabacco at all unfortunately
Is it okay ti wear al haramain de tour noir in summer like tropical climate?
Just got mine. Bottle definitely is trash,cap is beyond trash but after a few minutes its amazing
Thanks now ordered! 👍
I'm wondering if they inadvertently flipped the notes as they actually have two "Detour" Fragrances, 'Noir' and 'Rouge' (note breakdowns from their website below) - has anyone smelt Rouge?
Detour Rouge Fragrance Notes
Top note: Lavender, Bergamot, Cardamom
Middle note: Tobacco, Black Tea Leaves, Violet
Base note: Tonka Beans, Musk, Cedarwood
Detour Noir Fragrance Notes
Top note: Almond, Jasmine, Cypress
Middle note: Amber, Cedarwood, Heliotrop
Base note: Vanilla, Musk, Sandalwood
I saw this on the website also. I believe there's a mix up too.
Oh wow, you're right. Noir definitely bears strong resemblance to Pegasus.
@@nathanieltomlinson1148 I'm wondering if that means Rouge smells like PDM Pegasus, wish I'd bought that too now as they had both for £30 but I didn't see it.
Al Haramain do have Royal Stallion for a Pegasus clone though it is expensive, almost equivalent to Pegasus on some sites, especially when considering the price per 'ml' as Pegasus is 125ml & Royal Stallion is 95ml.
@@lndiscalling haha. I saw that deal also and had a moment of thinking, "How do you return to the site?", then I remembered I have Craze by Armaf and just accepted my lack of observation. Notino had sold out of Noir as I was about to buy, so I sort of hurriedly bought a bottle... even though I have a bottle of Layton and hardly wear it.
I confuse myself sometimes.
@@nathanieltomlinson1148 Yes Notino said it's had four Noir in stock but as soon as I added it out was out of stock! 😱 Luckily Al Haramain UK website has loads in stock and they're only five minutes down the road from me - I'll buy Rouge next month to see what is about as it's only £17 on its own and I might have to pop in there some day as I think they have a customer section.
Detour noir is one of the best clones, hands down. Imo. Of all time. Imo it's 95%+ to Layton. The longevity is very close to PDM and projection is the same!!! Phenomenal, clone of all time. I've done a side by side many times and even then, it's extremely hard to tell the difference, if even possible.
What do you think about The Woods Collection- Dusk?
Also a great clone of Layton.
I cannot seem to find anywhere to buy it, it's sold out everywhere.
Just tried to get this and it’s sold out already..😞
Is there a Alternative to Sadley? Layton i already have in my collection
wherre can we buy it-- cannot find it anywhere thx
