Parfums De Marly Herod

Herod by Parfums de Marly is a warm, opulent fragrance that pays tribute to sophistication and strength, blending rich tobacco with spices and woods in a way that feels both timeless and deeply sensual. Launched in 2012 as the seventh creation from the house, Herod is a true signature scent for the modern gentleman who appreciates elegance with a bold edge.

Inspired by the noble lineage and grandeur of historic cavalry, Herod channels the spirit of royalty and command. It's the olfactory equivalent of a tailored velvet jacket—soft to the touch, yet full of presence. The fragrance opens with a refined blend of cinnamon and Pepperwood™, setting a spicy, aromatic tone that immediately captures attention.

As it develops, the heart reveals a luxurious mix of tobacco leaf and incense, wrapped in the honeyed depth of osmanthus and the smoky richness of labdanum. These layers create a sensual warmth that’s both comforting and intriguing—like a fireside evening in a richly appointed study.

In the base, smooth vanilla and musk are enhanced by Iso E Super and the earthy complexity of vetiver and cypriol, grounding the fragrance with depth and longevity. Herod is magnetic and enveloping, perfect for cooler seasons and evening wear—an effortless expression of masculine confidence and style.
