Herod Royal Essence (125ml) Eau de Parfum by Parfums de Marly

Herod by Parfums de Marly: A Smoky Serenade of Strength and Sophistication. Draped in a stately bottle of deep bronze, Herod is a tribute to the noble stallion it’s named after—majestic, powerful, and unforgettable. This is not just a fragrance—it’s a slow-burning symphony of spice and warmth, where tobacco curls like smoke in candlelight and vanilla hums beneath like a velvet bass-line.
The Perfume Journey: Herod opens with a bold flourish of cinnamon and pepper, igniting the senses with a spicy spark. The heart reveals a rich blend of tobacco leaf, incense, osmanthus, and laudanum, conjuring the image of antique leather chairs and smoldering embers. As it settles, the base of vanilla, cedarwood, vetiver, and musk wraps the skin in a creamy, smoky embrace. The dry-down is opulent and enduring, with strong projection and excellent longevity that lingers like a whispered promise.
The Fragrance Vibe: Herod is bold, masculine-leaning, and decadently smooth. It evokes the ambiance of cigar lounges, velvet drapes, and winter nights spent in quiet luxury. Perfect for cooler seasons and evening wear, it suits those who command attention with quiet confidence. This isn’t a fleeting scent—it’s a signature, a cloak of charisma that leaves a lasting impression.
