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. Rich enough to wear on a cold winter night but well rounded enough for year round, Herod is a luxurious addition to any gentleman's arsenal and we think it would be drop dead sexy on any lady who loves tobacco scents as well.

Herod by Parfums de Marly is a Woody Spicy fragrance for men. Herod was launched in 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is Olivier Pescheux.

Parfums de Marly Herod fragrance samples available in 1ml, 3ml and 5ml sizes.
