Let's not beat around the bush here; Detour Noir is a 90-95% accurate clone of Parfum de Marly's Layton. It's definitely not as smooth and well blended as Layton in the opening, but the dry downs are basically indistinguishable from each other. I tested it with a sample of Layton I received and not a single person I asked could tell the two apart. Al Haramain really nailed it this time around. Smells like a masculine and spicy apple pie. If you enjoy the scent profile but don't want to pay $300+ dollars for it, Detour Noir is an excellent alternative for 1/10 the price of the original. And despite the hideous bottle, the atomizer is pressurized and one of the best on any of my fragrances. This one is an easy buy from me.
