Herod Parfums de Marly 2012

I no playboy, but coincidentally, later in the evening of the day when I tested this fragrance for the first time a girl lay on my chest which told me again and again how good I smell and asked what that was for a perfume. At that point, only the base should have been left.
According to my philosophy, this is exactly what a perfume should do for me: To smell irresistible to people who get close to you. Well, that creates the Herod probably.

Maybe it's just as well that I don't have the finest nose. In fact, I have a terrible sense of smell and only pick up the broad strokes of most scents and can't even smell out the cinnamon in the Herod! That's how bad I am in that regard. But I think that's also a positive thing, because most people who become the olfactory audience of, let's say, perfumos, perceive, I think, primarily this overall impression without - in passing - analyzing the fragrance in its individual parts. And therefore it is perhaps quite good if I comment times as I perceive the.

Herod smells for me at the first spray like a well-made men's perfume. Let's imagine mint smells green and amber smells orange, then I find Herod smells half red. Mixed with the, to my nose, very dominant tobacco, I get the feeling that the same chemicals are in there that used to flavor my cigarette tobacco with "cherry". Does anyone else know cherry or vanilla tobacco? We smoked that stuff as teenagers - awful.
And even though I haven't smelled cherry tobacco in a very long time, I can't get that association away.
That's the dominant scent impression for me with this fragrance.

I am sure that if you smell this but on another person, it seems almost mysterious this perfume, maybe a little sublime without being stuffy, and last but not least, there is an idea of freshness.

What I like about it is that the base is fresher than the heart note (probably vetiver). That's kind of interesting from a design point of view.

All in all, I just don't like this fragrance very much. That is probably nowmal like some people just do not like spinach. I guess to do certain people a favor I'll still wear it occasionally :-)
