What Is Al Haramain Detour Eco a Dupe Of?

Which fragrance is Detour Eco copying?

Al Haramain Detour Eco is a clone of Parfums de Marly Haltane. We rate the similarity at 85%. The connection is saffron and praline over an oud base, with bergamot and aromatic notes around it. If that's what you enjoy about Haltane, Eco is worth a look.

It's the Eco version you want for this comparison. The Detour range includes several different fragrances, and the regular Detour Noir points toward Layton instead. We wouldn't choose between them just by the similar bottle shape.

How do the notes compare?

Eco's catalog pyramid starts with lavender, bergamot and clary sage, followed by saffron and praline. Agarwood and cedar sit in the base. That gives you a mix of aromatic freshness, sweetness and woods to work with when deciding whether this style sounds like you.

Haltane shares bergamot, lavender, clary sage, saffron, praline and oud, though its listed pyramid groups them differently. The catalog puts pink peppercorn in Haltane's opening and patchouli, vetiver and leather alongside the oud in its base. So there's a clear connection, without the two note lists being identical.

Would we buy Eco instead of Haltane?

At 85%, we'd consider Eco if you want the Haltane direction and its current offer suits your budget. When sampling, we'd focus on how the praline sweetness sits beside the saffron and woods. Enjoying that balance will matter more than how many shared notes you can count.

If you already wear Haltane regularly, give Eco a separate try before deciding it can replace your bottle. The rating gives you a useful starting point, while trying them together lets you decide which version you'd rather spend time wearing.
