Today I blind-pulled my 3rd sample out of the 4 that I ordered and correctly guessed that it was Detour Noir

This is a Layton clone just like Lalique White in Black is. I'll have to compare them directly to be sure but I feel like White in Black is somewhat better, like it pops a bit harder with pepper and citrus zest. In contrast, Detour Noir goes more directly into the cinnamon-vanilla drydown which is good but not quite as good in comparison

...wonderful woody-aromatic composition, but so far only modest performances, based on a newly fresh re-release (Sep.2022) big bottle. I remember it being stronger many years ago, when I first fell for it, on a short business break in Paris. Really hope the 'maturation' process will improve this in few months...

Bathory by Darren Alan Perfumes (2017)

By battle worn hunger torn awaitening
For the sun to break through the cold haze
And for the banners of Ebal to appear
On the hill in the suns first warm rays
The elder among the men looked deep into
The fire and spoke loud with pride
Tomorrow is a fine day to die

-Bathory, 1988

Ah, I recognise that quote - great stuff! RIP Quorthon...
