The review

Worth a try. That is where Herod lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Herod.

Oil Perfumery sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Herod's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $125 per 100ml it costs 61% less than Herod — the 12th cheapest of 14 twins we can price.

Value6.8
Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Oil Perfumery publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: cinnamon and pepperwood up top, tobacco leaf, incense and osmanthus in the middle, vanilla, cedar and musk underneath — the shape of Parfums de Marly Herod.

Top

  • cinnamon
  • pepperwood

Heart

  • tobacco leaf
  • incense
  • osmanthus

Base

  • vanilla
  • cedar
  • musk
For the one who wants a warm cinnamon-spiced tobacco leaf smoldering into sweet vanilla and cedar, an unmistakable cold-weather signature that turns heads.
