This Eau de Parfum creation evokes:
“ A silhouette has so many romantic meanings, but the shape and form of the body in the female figure is what this fragrance is all about, – every woman can wear it and feel fantastic in it!”
This fragrance emulates the way Christian was able to create something that is timeless and classic but still has a unique edge and modern signature to it.
The top notes were inspired by the gorgeous blue color of the fabric— bright and dusky all at once, like a calm deep blue sky after a storm.
A feeling of freshness was captured by a combination of cassis and wet greens for a crisp, aromatic effect with hints of purple berries.
Like the dress, the fragrance unfolds in a succession of ethereal layers; delicate floating petals of jasmine, rose and freesia to create a sense of innocence and femininity and added whipped, sophisticated gourmand notes for a fun playful twist. The heart of the scent is light-hearted and whimsical, mirroring the light, flowing layers of tulle in the dress.
The base of the fragrance compliments the soft femininity of the heart with more masculine notes of woods and moss, giving the fragrance a fresh, yet contemporary feel. A true work of art, a perfume that will be sure to get you noticed and complimented!

Herod opens with a mere second of sweet cherry pipe tobacco then quickly moves into a layer of cinnamon and sugar. Then after a few minutes more. the fragrance gets drier and more woody. Still yet, a warmed rum note sits in play, but its not heavy and thick but instead it’s creamier, opulent and contained, it’s a very pleasant surprise!
At around the ten minute mark, the tobacco note begins to come to life embellished by vanilla and the frankincense. It’s nice and mellow one of a kind of pipe cherry tobacco sweet scent… Herod stays in this very controlled stage, elegant and sophisticated, lovely light vanilla sweetened woody tobacco bliss that dries down to an amazing delicious and luscious fragrance that is a must for any lover of luxurious and regal scents!
