    Real talk

    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
    Hercules does not try to hide its ambitions. This is a full-bodied, tobacco-dominant scent with enough spice and smoke to keep things interesting. It commands attention.Hercules
