About the Fragrance
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.
