The potent Herod

This is my first encounter with a niche fragrance. I chose a fragrance that has so many positive reviews that real niche lovers would almost count it back in the mainstream. "You can't do anything wrong with that", I thought, "you'll like it".

And so it came, he liked it. It exists - love at first sight, or better said the scent of the first nose. He's completely blown his mind! For me it is difficult to recognize the individual notes, therefore at this point simply my personal overall impression: It starts with a lot of spice, oriental. Like a walk over the spice bazaar, where the smells of individual spices mix to a large fragrance cloud and lie in the air. It smells sweet, but not too sweet. I perceive the vanilla in the further process. It's not cheap vanilla like you know it from cheaper scents. This vanilla makes a natural and qualitative impression on me, luxurious comes to my mind spontaneously. This fragrance caresses, envelops and warms.

In the beginning I can perceive the perfume very strongly on myself, although with two or three sprayers it is rather restrained. Later, after a few hours - so I thought - one would notice him only very closely. I was all the more surprised when, after half a day of wearing it, I was complimented on my fragrance. The next evening there was also a compliment, although I already applied the perfume at noon. Smell tastes are known to be different and also other good smelling perfumes could give me a compliment here and there. This fragrance earned me several compliments within a very short time, which I had never experienced before. This candidate has stamina.

I have the feeling that Parfums de Marly uses high-quality and natural fragrances here. I could not imagine before to smell a difference between cheap and expensive scents, here it is the case. The perfume has aroused my curiosity for niche fragrances and the desire to test other high quality fragrances. It develops, it lives on the skin and is an excellent companion for the colder days. Like a musical instrument that wants to be played, this fragrance wants to be worn. His charisma and endurance is powerful and that makes him a strong, potent Herod for me.
