Parfums De Marly Herod

Mostly dried leaves, sweet and warm rather than like a lit cigarette. Underneath that, sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard.

It opens on cinnamon and pepperwood™, moves through tobacco leaf, incense and osmanthus, and settles on vanilla, iso e super and cedar.

• cinnamon: hot sweet baking spice
• incense: dry resinous smoke, the smell of a church rather than a bonfire

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
