I also have Detour Noir which is a Layton clone and I like equally with Tuxedo Clone.

I haven't tried Detour Noir but I have tried another Layton clone (Xclusif Oud Bleu) and it is an amazing DNA for the winter time.

Detour Noir - PDM Layton clone

A Reddit comment, Dec 2023, 1 point

Detour noir is a nice alternative to Layton, especially if you find an old batch of it.

A Reddit comment, Dec 2023, 1 point

Hey, I was looking to add a couple fragrances to my collection and I liked Al Haramain Detour Noir as a Layton clone and Afnan 9PM as an Ultra Male clone.

I prefer the layton DNA and wanted a higher quality clone at first, but when I came back to detour noir, it smelled a lot better to me

Layton is the exact same scent but with more “prestige”.

A Reddit comment, Apr 2024, 1 point

Also I’ve heard detour noir being not a good clone of Layton

I'm with you 100% , except that detour noir is a 98% replica of PDM Layton.

Detour noir for me on my skin 7-8hrs its a sweet vanilla amber scent meant for special occasions and its a clone of pdm layton.

PS.: I'd use Al Haramain Detour Noir (Layton clone) during early fall/middle-late spring

I feel Détour Noir Al Haramain and Costume national I are very decent PDM Layton clones.

Sharaf Blend or Detour Noir, Cant vouch fot Sharaf Blend as I’ve never smelt it before, but Detour Noir is a verrrrrry good clone of Layton, so if your a fan of that dont hesitate to get it.

Detour noir as a dupe of pdm layton.

Detour noir is pdm layton clone minus the menthol opening.

There are two Layton clones far superior to Detour Noir .

A Reddit comment, Aug 2024, 1 point

Detour Noir is good and cheap but if you want a better clone scent wise I recommend North Stag Expression li Deux, it is the best cheap Layton clone I've smelled.

Detour Noir (Layton clone)

A Reddit comment, Aug 2024, 1 point

In my country detour noir costs under 20€ and for it’s close enough to Layton, but if you want something 1:1 and with very good performance you can get one of Royal Bleu or XO Xclusif Bleu

A Reddit comment, Aug 2024, 1 point

You can try detour noir al harmain - dupe of pdm Layton.

A Reddit comment, Sep 2024, 1 point

But some say Detour Noir is also a good clone of Layton by Al Haramain and it does have availability in my area.

I saw detour noir was a layton clone… I’ve never smelt layton ever in my life.

A Reddit post, Oct 2024, 1 point

I was going to get dusk but then I already bought detour noir and I heard that they're essentially both similar to Layton.

A Reddit comment, Oct 2024, 1 point

What are the clones you blind bought so far I hate detour noir becuase have these suckers said it was like 95 percent next to layton, and club de nuit sillage smells like a old ladies make up pouch inside a funeral home lol

A Reddit comment, Oct 2024, 1 point

A Dior Homme Intense (clone?) like Camaro Homme Intense and a Layton dupe like Detour Noir as crowd pleasers for fall/winter.

Detour noir - solid layton clone, horrible bottle, good atomizer.

I've been debating with myself whether to get TB or Detour Noir (Layton clone) right now.

A Reddit comment, Feb 2025, 1 point

Detour Noir is a clone of that fragrance and since Layton is in my personal top 3 I LOVE detour noir too!

A Reddit comment, Feb 2025, 1 point

Ah no worries I really liked detour noir and ran out and wanted to get rugir I heard it's the best clone of Layton but it's significantly more expensive than detour in the UK so ideally wanted to sample it or get the opinion of others

A Reddit comment, Feb 2025, 1 point

Detour Noir and Detour Noir Exclusif are good performing clones of Layton and Layton Exclusif

A Reddit comment, Apr 2025, 1 point

I tried looking for it and I can't find it, however I did try Detour noir which is supposedly a clone of layton and I did not really like it.

A Reddit comment, Apr 2025, 1 point

Al haramain detour noir prolly one of the best Layton dupes

A Reddit comment, May 2025, 1 point

Detour Noir is the best bang for your buck version of Layton, but to me, Vanilla Fraiche is the best one.

A Reddit comment, May 2025, 1 point

Detour Noir is literally the worst Layton dupe, it's a synthetic screechy chemical mess.

Amber oud bleu exclusif is better PDM layton clone than detour noir

A Reddit comment, Jun 2025, 1 point

Detour noir is great for a layton clone, just have to get over the harsh opening that goes away after a couple minutes, not a deal breaker.

A Reddit comment, Jun 2025, 1 point

Detour Noir is a really bad Layton Clone.

A Reddit comment, Jul 2025, 1 point

I bought detour noir seeing alot of reviews how it is a very good clone of layton and when i got my hand on a sample of layton and smelling it again in the airport i was so dissaponted.

Detour Noir PDM layton dupe.

A Reddit post, Sep 2025, 1 point

After the success of Detour Noir Al Haramain 2022 clone of Parfum De Marly Layton, they started to try other similar lines Detour Eco clone of Parfum De Marly haltane, so it's bit of Our for Glory and BR540, only problem is mid and base note bit weak, but it's ok for 2-3hrs for sure.

A Reddit comment, Oct 2025, 1 point

‏Thanks for sharing, and I checked Azure Velvetدm, if it’s a dupe of Layton I have Detour Noir which is really amazing

Rasasi Hawas OG vs Al Haramain Detour Noir (Layton dupe) - Which do I trade my 90ml Lattafa The Kingdom For Him for?.

A Reddit post, Apr 2026, 1 point

Detour Noir is meant to be close to layton and maybe the aventus one.

A Reddit comment, Jun 2026, 1 point

detour noir (pdm layton clone) is the best.

A Reddit comment, Sep 2026, 1 point

Everyone says Detour Noir have u tried it?.

A Reddit comment, May 2023, 0 points

Detour noir is incredible I think it’s so similar to Layton but seemed to have a louder projection for me, the only difference I can tell is that the vanilla in the base is stronger.

A Reddit post, Aug 2023, 0 points

DN does the job, but the quality is worth $15-20 more for the Costume National I in my opinion.

A Reddit comment, Jul 2023, 0 points

I may be mistaken, but I wanted to know if anyone had any opinions about this, as I'm considering getting another clone of Layton (Montagne or Alexandria).

A Reddit comment, Nov 2022, 0 points

I can wholeheartedly say, after trying a SHIT TON of all the dupes, that montagne has the best Layton clone hands down..

A Reddit comment, Apr 2023, 0 points

Don't know for the others but i have detour noir and decant of layton and there is so little differences, layton of course smells of higher quality up close but in the air they are almost indistinguishable

A Reddit comment, Jun 2025, 0 points

Detour Noir is the further dupe for Layton.
