Herod

Incense opens Herod by Parfums De Marly as spice-laced smoke in market air. Underneath, musk — powderless skin with quiet warmth — meets amber, golden resin warmed to a glow. Vanilla joins as a slow brown sweetness with dry smoke, with patchouli as damp leaves warming over roots. It settles warm and balsamic, a resinous, earthy centre anchored by a gourmand sweetness and soft musk.
