One of the most accomplished racehorses (and prolific studs) of 18th century Europe, Herod was a horse of uncommon achievement descended from a famous line of Turkish warhorses. To honor him, Parfums de Marly has created a truly spectacular fragrance, one that combines robustly masculine tobacco, wood and patchouli notes with an alluring spice blend and a sumptuous vanilla.  Herod opens with an attention-grabbing spicy mix of cinnamon and peppercorns, and quickly introduces a resinous, sultry heart of incense and tobacco, combined with such smoky-sweet artistry that it makes our mouths water and pulses race all at once. In the base, the woodsier and earthier aspects are enhanced with rich patchouli and vetiver, while a creamy, delectable vanilla keeps things from ever getting too dark or deep.

💡 If you enjoy the Parfums de Marly Herod, consider exploring these alternatives:

Shares a deep, resinous incense base and spicy amber notes, but with a sharper smoky bite and a slightly less sweet finish.

Echoes generous tobacco and warm wood facets, but balances them with pronounced rum and leather nuances, while the original emphasizes honeyed sweetness.

Carries a rich woody-patchouli structure and balsamic warmth, but its drier, earthier character emphasizes a more serious tone rather than sweetness.

Mimics the pleasant tobacco-vanilla blend and subtle spices, but is much softer and creamier, with dominant honey-vanilla sweetness replacing dense smokiness.
