Great dupe of PDM Herod. Hercules is a bit rough around the edges where Herod is smoother. much more woody (prominent cedar for first 10 minutes) and musk leaning whereas Herod leans more into the cherry pipe tobacco-Vanilla DNA. The tobacco in this is more dirty, dry and earthy. If you love Herod, this will scratch the itch and allow you to conserve/keep your Herod for special occasions. A great inspired clone of Herod, which is an absolute masterpiece

Excellent replacement for Herod-- I fell in love with the original, but have so many other big ticket fragrances in my rotation that splurging on a full bottle of it wouldn't make sense. What an easy, carefree purchase! Safe blind buy if you like the original scent profile. Lacks some of the original's projection, but I am going to tuck the bottle away until the fall and see if it performs a little better after it's sat around a bit. A nice gift for the tobacco loving men in your life. A no-brainer!
