Inspired by Parfums de Marly Herod
Herod
Extrait de Parfum · 100ml · 30% Concentration · Sydney, Australia
Herod is Parfums de Marly's most regal masculine creation. Named for an ancient king, it is rich, spiced and deeply commanding, a fragrance built for those who don't mind being noticed.
Cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper open with a warm, vivid spice that is immediately powerful and immediately distinctive. Tobacco and iris at the heart build a smooth, slightly sweet depth that bridges the spice into something more refined. Vanilla, sandalwood and oud in the base settle into a rich, opulent drydown that is exactly as commanding as the name suggests. At 30% concentration this is Herod at its most regal.

Performance
Formulated at 30% concentration, Extrait de Parfum, the highest category in fine fragrance. Expect 11 to 16 hours of wear with a rich, evolving sillage that opens boldly and settles into a deeply personal skin scent over time. One or two sprays is all that is required.
How to Apply
Apply to pulse points, the inner wrists, base of the neck, and behind the ears. Do not rub. Allow the fragrance to dry naturally and interact with your skin's warmth. For best performance, apply to freshly moisturised skin or over an unscented body lotion. Dry skin absorbs fragrance faster. Oily skin holds it longer. At 30% concentration, one or two sprays is enough.
Care and Storage
Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. UV exposure and temperature fluctuation degrade aromachemicals over time. A drawer, cabinet, or wardrobe shelf is ideal. Avoid bathrooms. Kept correctly, your fragrance will perform at full strength for 3 to 5 years.
Formulation
Every formula is built from individual aromachemicals using GCMS reconstruction, the same methodology used by the world's leading fragrance houses. We source exclusively from IFF, Givaudan, and Firmenich, the same suppliers used by Dior, Chanel, and Tom Ford. Never a pre-made type oil. Never a shortcut.
Maceration
Perfume is not finished when it is bottled. The materials keep marrying, the alcohol edge drops away and the base knits together, and the fragrance genuinely changes while that happens. That resting period is called maceration.
Every bottle we send carries a Ready From date on it. That is ten days after the day yours was made, and it is the point we are happy for you to wear it. Treat it as a floor rather than a target. Perfume keeps improving well past that date, so the longer you leave it, the better it gets.
This one especially. Resins, oud and incense are big slow molecules and they take longer to settle than a citrus or a light floral, so give it a few weeks past the date if you can.
