A plush tobacco vanilla with elegant poise, Parfums de Marly Herod opens on a warm glow of cinnamon and pepper before unfurling a heart of tobacco leaf, incense, cistus, and osmanthus. As it dries down, natural vanilla pods weave through musk, patchouli, and woody nuances, with refined facets of cedar, vetiver, and modern woods lending a smooth, enveloping trail that feels richly textured yet impeccably polished.
