Soft, potent vanilla pudding

I am a newcomer to the niche fragrance world and certainly do not have the finest nose. Nuances escape me, so I approach the whole thing rather pragmatically. I hope you can forgive me for that.
I love the fantastic scent of Herod, but unfortunately my skin completely absorbs it, leaving almost nothing after just a few hours. Due to the relatively poor longevity on me, I ordered a few fragrances from Alexandria Fragrances because of their good reputation. Among them is Arabian Horse.
The similarity to Herod is definitely present, but I would rather see it as an alternative to Spicebomb Extreme. AH starts off more cinnamon and spicy, less fruity, and I don't perceive apple compared to Herod. Over time, I find Herod wilder, almost metallic. AH, on the other hand, is much softer, rounder, and more comforting. Spicebomb is stronger, spicier, and in comparison, almost scratchy.
As it develops, I smell much more vanilla and musk, which is why the scent reminds me more of steamed dumplings with vanilla sauce or vanilla pudding in the most positive sense. The scent is still very masculine.

The longevity is phenomenal for me, and after 8 hours, I sometimes catch myself sniffing my wrist. Even after showering, I can still smell it.
I will definitely keep AH and will reorder it at some point.
Being labeled as a dupe is something AH definitely does not deserve in my view. It is a damn potent, great, and independent scent with addictive potential.
Cheers!

Great Scent

First of all, I don't know Herod and therefore can't make a comparison regarding how good of a copy this is. I'm not really a big fan of vanilla in men's perfumes, but here I was (once again) pleasantly surprised. Absolute masculinity hits me right after application.
It must be due to the strong cinnamon note mixed with tobacco and apple; even though the latter note isn't listed here, I could bet that at least a little apple is present in the top notes ;)

Longevity is very good, although I only apply the scent on clothes; on the skin, there is strangely a strong discrepancy in comparison to clothing regarding longevity. The sillage is quite enormous for the first 3 hours, then it becomes a bit closer to the skin, but even after 8 hours, a little scent cloud occasionally comes your way, very pleasant!
Reactions have been exclusively (!) positive to very positive; my better half rightly refers to this one as a cuddle scent ;)
Of the 7 samples I have tried from Alexandria Fragrances, this one is my favorite in terms of scent, just ahead of Royal Equestrian and The Run Way.
A 60ml bottle has already been ordered, and I think it won't be the last one; I admit I have fallen a bit in love :)

Gentle Ride

A scent twin to my signature fragrance? And that at just about 1/3 of the price? Can that even be possible?

The short answer: sort of

First of all, I want to express my heartfelt thanks to Flickchen, who sent me a sample of Arabian Horse :)

So here I am, ready to let the stallion from Parfums de Marly face off against the Arabian challenger.

Confidently, I spray Herod on my right arm. Immediately, this wonderful sweet-spicy note forms around me. It's love at first sniff!

A bit nervously, I reach for the sample of AH and spray it on my left arm.
However, unlike with Herod, nothing comes to meet me at first.
As I approach my left arm, an interesting sweetness reveals itself. Not a sugar punch, more like a sugar caress.
A gentle vanilla note, enveloped by something I can't quite identify, but it's intriguing.

I sniff again at my right arm, and Herod shows me everything. Its sweetness, its spiciness, and its earthy note. All in a wonderful dance of scents. Oh yes, I love you!

On my left arm, AH begins its gallop. The initial sweetness has faded a bit, giving more room to the vanilla. However, it doesn't smell like "typical" vanilla, rather softer, gentler. Unfortunately, I find it hard to describe. Like a mix between a diluted vanilla car air freshener and a cake.
Along with it and the sweetness, a slightly earthy note is added.
Everything feels lighter, more ethereal, more restrained.

The longevity is good. I have AH on my arm for a good three hours and can still perceive it well.
However, I do need to get a bit closer. The sillage seems weaker to me than with Herod.

Is AH now a twin of Herod?
In my eyes, no. It is gentler than Herod, offers less spiciness, and doesn't dance quite as well.
Nevertheless, I see it as a very good fragrance that will definitely join my collection.

Even a gentle ride knows how to impress.

/Addendum

After about 5 hours of gentle riding on my left arm, the spiciness emerges a bit stronger, without disturbing the vanilla. The scent becomes slightly more masculine, yet remains gentle and truly beautiful.

Close your eyes, inhale, enjoy.

First dupe that smells exactly like the original (PdM Herod). Presentation is mediocre, but better value for money. Hats off to Alexandria Fragrances!

There is definitely a similarity to Herod.
However, the AH is much softer and gentler, almost feminine.
Tobacco is hardly noticeable.
H&S Top!!!

Arabian Horse = Layton/Detour Noir MINUS the mint and apple but PLUS cinnamon.
Very pleasant, rather sweet scent. Probably liked by everyone!

Not an exact copy, more of a softer interpretation of Herod. H/S top.

Longevity is great, sillage too - scent is rather soft. Lacks the spice that’s in the original. Drydown very similar to Spicebomb. Prefer the original.
