Parfums de Marly Herod is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Olivier Pescheux.

About

Herod is a velvet cloak of sweet pipe tobacco, cinnamon, and creamy vanilla, laced with incense and amber for an enveloping, smoky warmth. The opening is spicy and rich, with cinnamon and pepperwood, soon melting into a heart of honeyed tobacco and dark resins. As it dries down, lush vanilla and subtle woods create a plush, addictive trail. Luxurious, comforting, and undeniably masculine, Herod is the epitome of modern niche opulence.
