In the Garden of Eden - The Forbidden Fruit
This perfume starts with mango.
That's all you can smell in the first 10 minutes.
Mango.
A mango that smells so realistic and at the same time seductive. It just begs to be bitten into. Which is exactly what you do.
After that, the fruity-sweet perfume turns into nothing more than a sweet mess. What once smelled so refined and unique is now hardly distinguishable from a €5 scent at DM. It's really a shame that the perfume takes such a turn.
At first, this fragrance promises a lot. Once again, a perfume that feels like a fresh love. But before you can fall too much in love with the scent, it disappoints you once again.

Don't Judge a Book by its Cover
When I unpacked the perfume, I was slightly disappointed. The bottle was ugly, and the scent wasn't much better. Due to my disappointment, I initially set "Détour Noir | Al Haramain / الحرمين" aside.

A few days later, I smelled it again. Okay, now it's a bit better.

Some time later, I opened my perfume shelf, and I was hit by the scent of Layton. What happened? My ugly bottle of Détour Noir had a crack in the cap and the seal, causing the fragrance to slowly leak out. But I was surprised by the scent. Now it really smells like Layton, in my opinion even better. Détour Noir has a beautifully soft fragrance but still radiates well. It is a scent that envelops and soothes, and it also has a lovely depth.

The longevity is impressive. Unlike what you would expect from perfumes in the lower price range, this one lasts a very long time. It remains present almost all day without becoming intrusive. The sillage leaves a wonderful scent trail.

For a fragrance priced just under €20, it's incredible what Détour Noir achieves. It proves that with perfume, it’s all about the juice. I give it a clear recommendation.

Between Energy and Elegance
The Turathi is the golden mean.
On one side, the Turathi is a little boy with too much energy, who still manages to put a smile on everyone's face with his extroverted and cheerful nature. Especially the radiant mandarin and fresh-happy bergamot contribute to the bright light of this perfume. The little boy looks up to his energetic blond-haired brother, the Vibrato.
On the other side, the Turathi is an adult man who exudes a unique self-confidence. He convinces across the board and always leaves a secure impression. Especially the woody notes convey these messages. Here, he moves in the direction of Bleu de Chanel.
The packaging is, as with some other Arabic fragrances, very high quality. The bottle is definitely solid for the price; whether it looks good or not, I believe, is very much in the eye of the beholder. I find it very good for the really very small amount of money you have to pay for it, especially the cap gives a high-quality impression due to its weight.
The longevity is quite good for a citrusy and fresh scent, the sillage decreases significantly, in my opinion, after three hours, becoming more of a skin scent for me.
For the price, it is definitely an almost unbeatable good perfume that is worth every cent.
I give it a clear recommendation and it is definitely also blind-buy safe. I bought this scent blind as well, and I am quite sure that everyone else will like it just as much.
