Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

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

Palermo Perfumes 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 $23 it costs 94% less than Herod.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes 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.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
