Herod by Parfums de Marly opens on cinnamon and pepper, a quick spiced start before it settles into something darker. Tobacco, incense, oakmoss and osmanthus build a heart that is smoky and a little sweet, more like a warm room than a garden. Vanilla, patchouli, musk and woody notes carry it into a rich, gourmand finish that leans sweet-spicy rather than fresh. Reached for mostly by men, it suits anyone drawn to a tobacco-leaning warmth rather than anything fresh or citrus-led. Wearers pick it for winter and autumn, mostly for evenings that run late. Longevity, per the vote, leans long-lasting. Most wearers call the sillage moderate, so it sits close rather than filling a room. Spend a week with a 3ml decant to see if the smoky tobacco side suits you.

The house
More from Parfums de Marly
Parfums de Marly is a French niche house that Julien Sprecher started in 2009, who looked to the old royal court and the Château de Marly for its spirit. The style is polished and generous. Bergamot and mandarin open many of the scents, vanilla, sandalwood and musk carry the base, and cardamom, cinnamon or pink pepper add warmth. Valaya is soft and clean, a musky citrus for easy days. Delina is a fruity rose with a pink, bright mood. Layton mixes fresh and warm spice over woods, and Althaïr keeps things simple and woody.
