Parfums de Marly Herod is
a luxurious, niche Eau de Parfum renowned for its rich smoky vanilla and tobacco scent profile. Launched in 2012 and composed by perfumer Olivier Pescheux, this woody-spicy fragrance draws inspiration from an 18th-century European racehorse to evoke old-world nobility and sophistication.
