Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Herod EDP
A benchmark tobacco-vanilla that wraps you in smoky, spiced luxury. Herod is intense, seductive, and unmistakably plush-perfect for cold evenings, special outings, and commanding presence.

Our Verdict - Arabian Horse EDP
A budget take on Parfums de Marly's Herod, a smoky tobacco-vanilla fragrance with a devoted following. The cinnamon-pepper opening into a tobacco-incense heart is a fair sketch, but the vanilla-tonka dry-down here is thinner and less creamy than the original's celebrated, long-lasting finish.
