What do reviewers say about Détour Noir and Costume National I?
Détour Noir does not reinvent the wheel, but it executes its brief with real skill. The vanilla-sandalwood drydown is where this scent earns its keep, and it develops beautifully over several hours.Détour Noir
If you've worn Layton and need something with more backbone, this is the leather-forward answer. The ambroxan isn't here to comfort you, it's here to stay.Costume National I
