9ml Sample | Parfums De Marly Herod EDP - Decant by Floressence

Parfums de Marly Herod

Perfumer: Olivier Pescheux | Olfactory Family: Oriental Woody

Note Profile & Why They Work: Herod is a masterful, intoxicating fragrance that captures the essence of sophisticated warmth. It opens with a spicy, aromatic fusion of cinnamon and pimento berry (pepperwood), which provides an immediate, inviting depth. The heart unfolds into a rich, smoky-sweet heart of tobacco leaf, incense, labdanum, and osmanthus, creating a complex, evocative atmosphere. It is perfectly anchored by a creamy, indulgent base of vanilla, tonka bean, musk, cedarwood, and vetiver. This composition is brilliant because it balances the raw, earthy grit of tobacco with a polished, luxurious sweetness, resulting in a scent that feels both powerful and deeply comforting.

Vibe: Opulent, warm, and magnetic. Herod captures the atmosphere of a private, high-end library—it is smooth, mysterious, and effortlessly distinguished. It is the signature scent for the person who values elegance and depth, designed to project an aura of confident, refined masculinity that is both commanding and undeniably inviting.

Performance: As an Eau de Parfum, Herod offers impressive longevity and a sophisticated, moderate sillage. It is designed to be a "cozy" powerhouse, leaving a warm, spicy-sweet trail that lingers beautifully on the skin and clothes, evolving gracefully from its vibrant, spicy opening into a deep, vanilla-tobacco dry-down that stays present throughout the day.

Season: This is the ultimate autumn and winter signature. Its deep, resinous, and gourmand profile is purpose-built to thrive in cooler weather, providing a sense of warmth and luxury that feels right at home during chilly days, cozy nights, and formal evening occasions.
