What do reviewers say about The King and Herod?
Bold without apology. This is the fragrance that announces itself before you've finished your first sentence, and somehow that's exactly why people remember you.The King
Some fragrances suggest. Herod insists. The tobacco-vanilla base isn't subtle, it's the whole argument, and it wins. Sweet enough to pull people in, structured enough to keep them at a distance.Herod
