The review
King of Judea scores 6.0 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Herod.
The Dua Brand 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.
It is sold as a perfume oil — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $191 per 100ml it costs 40% less than Herod — the 14th cheapest of 14 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand 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
Parfums de Marly Herod is cinnamon and pepperwood at first, tobacco leaf, incense and osmanthus at its heart and vanilla, cedar and musk at the end. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- cinnamon
- pepperwood
Heart
- tobacco leaf

- 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.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 17 twins of Parfums de Marly Herod we can price, King of Judea is number 14 on price per 100ml.
