Herod opens on the warmth of cinnamon and pepper, before tobacco leaf takes over, blond and honeyed. Incense, rockrose and osmanthus give it a resinous, fruity depth.
The base, of vanilla, cedar and musk, rounds the whole with a hushed softness. A comfortable tobacco amber for winter evenings.

Herod in detail
Parfums de Marly composes bold classics inspired by the festivities of the Château de Marly. Herod is one of its warmest ambers: a fragrance of blond tobacco, incense and cinnamon, wrapped in vanilla, that evokes a cosy interior in winter.
The official pyramid opens on cinnamon and pepper, two spices that give a warm, sharp start. The heart brings together tobacco leaf, incense, labdanum and osmanthus, whose apricot accents soften the tobacco. The base pairs vanilla, musk and cedarwood for a round, woody foundation.
Herod is worn in the evening, in autumn and winter: a night by the fire, a dinner, an evening out in cold weather. Its spices also make it a natural companion for the festive season.
Three amber fragrances in our catalogue share its materials: Alexandria II by Xerjoff brings together cinnamon, cedarwood, musk and vanilla; Ambre Chromatique by Maison Crivelli pairs incense, osmanthus and vanilla; Epic Woman by Amouage finds cinnamon, musk, incense and vanilla again.
