What do reviewers say about VLAD and Herod?
VLAD is not trying to seduce you. The blood note is confrontational in a way few modern fragrances attempt, and the birch drydown will dominate everything within smelling distance.VLAD
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
