Parfums de Marly Herod

Eau de Parfum Oriental woody spicy, blonde tobacco leaf, Madagascar vanilla, cinnamon, incense, and labdanum Crisp winter evenings, cozy intimate dates, formal dinners, and connoisseurs of sweet tobacco

Noble pipe tobacco swirled with pure Madagascar vanilla, spicy cinnamon bark, and smoky incense: royal warmth at its most comforting.

Parfums de Marly Herod is a tribute to aristocratic warmth and gentlemanly distinction. The scent greets you with a tempting burst of warm cinnamon and aromatic pepperwood. It quickly blooms into an opulent heart of cured blonde tobacco leaves, mystical incense, osmanthus blossom, and golden labdanum resin. The drydown is a benchmark of comfort: luscious Madagascar vanilla beans, cedarwood, earthy vetiver, cypriol, and silky Iso E Super. Providing 8 to 10 hours of rich wear, Herod radiates a refined, magnetic aura of quiet luxury.
