Description

Arabian Horse starts with an attention-begging concoction of cinnamon and peppercorns, and it doesn’t wait much to introduce a resinous, sweet heart of incense and tobacco, combined with an elegant smoky-sweet artistry that it makes our mouths water and pulses race all at once. In the base, the woodsier and earthier aspects are enhanced with rich patchouli and vetiver, while a creamy, delectable vanilla keeps things from ever getting too dark or deep. It is rich enough to wear on a cold winter night but well-rounded enough for year-round use.” – a note from the brand.

Arabian Horse was launched in 2017. The nose behind this fragrance is Hany Hafez.

    This is a gorgeous Fragrance in its own right, but it is far from a carbon copy of Herod. It’s much sweeter and heavier on the cinnamon. It has become one of my favorite tobacco scents and has garnered plenty of compliments. Longevity is through the roof, at least for me.

    Superb fragance, I haven’t tried Herod but I love this, It is a manly, sweet, tabacco scent, long lasting and enourmous sillage,very enjoyable,It was a perfect blind buy.

    Good fragrance on its own merit and not really close to Herod, it is as close as any fragrance with tobacco, cinnamon, and vanilla. Wish it had more tobacco like some reviewers have stated. The tobacco is dialed down and cinnamon and vanilla ramped up. I’ll probably layer it with Aramis Havana to give it some extra tobacco oomph.

    Powerhouse scent with excellent projection and longevity. Sweet but not over the top. Wish I’d purchased the larger bottle.

    I got Arabian Horse because I love Herod, but by the time my sample arrived I’d forgotten about the Herod connection, so my initial impressions of Arabian Horse were based on its own merits. AH is a really delicious scent, but for me the cinnamon and vanilla come across stronger than the tobacco; tobacco is definitely there, it’s just not the dominant note, to my nose. So as its own fragrance, Arabian Horse is excellent and I’ll definitely buy a full bottle once my sample is gone. Having said that, it’s not an exact replacement for Herod, which has a stronger tobacco note, with the vanilla and cinnamon supporting it. AH is sweeter, so I can see how someone who loves Herod but has a low tolerance for sweetness might not like AH, but I’m guessing that most people who love one fragrance will also love the other.

    Hany has done a great job with all of the PdM frags that Alexandria has done so far and this one is no exception. Arabian Horse is an interpretation of Herod and, while the opening is slightly different, after 30 minutes they are virtually identical. This is another great fall/winter gourmand that gets the typically good Alexandria performance of 6-8 hours on my skin and longer on clothes.

    Same as with Royal Equisterian to me. I had Herod for a few months, and it was very weak in terms of projection. Arabian Horse is the superior fragrance in my honest opinion. Right off the bat it is strikingly close to Herod. This has become my most worn tobacco based fragrance wir 18.21 Man Made Sweet Tobacco Spirits. Guys give it a try – you won’t regret it 🙂

    Yes, it’s ‘Herod’!
    Vanillic tobacco cinnabun bakery goodness – approximation is definitely over 90%
    So, you get to mostly pick and choose here. Herod is stronger and a touch more of the medicinal oud/cinnamon can be had becasue of that but they’re still both sweet gourmands of course.
    Rated Herod an 8, but Mr Hany will get a higher score here for being mere tuppance compared to the megabombe cash-strapper that is Herod. So, I’ll get the sample of Herod next with future full bottles of this when my 1st Herod runs out.
    Well done!
    PS: Mr Hany, do please try for better names for future releases though. I mean, ‘Arabian Horse’. Really?? lol
    My rating: 9/10

    Coasterfan, its looks like your the only person with a negative view which tells me this is personal, you have said the exact same words in your comments to other alaexandria fragrances so I doubt anyone will listen to you… anyway moving on, like 90% of Alexandria fragrances I have tested this one is 90% upwards to herod, its not the same quality which is of course expected as its a clone and much cheaper but its a great alternative and a great choice for non-snob fragheads like some people who expect the best even paying much less dolla!!! good on you hany! much appreciated… dua should follow in your footsteps

    If you have smelt Herod then you will know what this smells like. Arabian Horse opens with a bit more vanilla and less spice – so opens kind of where Herod is after 15-20minutes. To my nose, this is very close. After 30mins I had a hard time telling them apart side to side (which is never that easy as I am sure you all know). I doubt a passer by would be able to tell any difference. In terms of performance, I agree – does not seem to improve upon it but seems about the same as Herod. This is just from a spray on the back of my hand. I have not tested this properly yet – when I do, if there any differences I will report back.
    I have a number of Alexandria samples – their Back Afgano is exact, this is about 90% at the start and over 95% after 30 minutes. At less than 1/2 the price this is a safe purchase if you like Herod! A very good interpretation indeed.
    (I will just say that Perfume Parlour have a very good oil out whilst the best interpretation I have found of this is by Fatihan Parfumarie in Germany – that literally is Herod extreme however it is more expensive than this and technically isn’t as close because it is an amped up version)

    This is a very nice juice that has good longevity and performance for 6 to 7 hours on my skin. Smells similar to Tuscan Leather at the start but does favor Herod in the middle and dry down. Overall I love this juice and will be getting a 30 ml bottle soon. They have a sample/discovery set on the Alexandria website that will set you back 50 dollars for 7 5 ml samples of which ever juices you want ( I have purchased 2 sets so far). Enjoy!

    Herod is one of my favorite scents- I have a big bottle of it- and I love tobacco scents in general. Arabian Horse definitely smells similar to Herod, minus about 25% of the strength and a certain density and richness. It is a kind of a sheer interpretation of the scent. I don’t mind it and I’ll keep it for days when I want a fragrance that packs less of a punch, but there’s no way this could replace Herod in my collection.

    I love this one…My scent impression of it…
    If Lanvin’s Avant Garde and Versace Man “Purple bottle” had a baby, they would name him Arabian Horse, better quality that both those fragrances and smells very natural as well.
    I have read here that apparently it smells like Herod, I have never smelt Herod and that comparison is of no consequence or use to my reasoning for liking this fragrance, therefore i am refraining from calling it a clone of anything.
    I am judging it on its own merit. If you like tobacco based fragrances, i think you owe it to yourself to check this one out.It might just surprise you.
    It wears like an aura on me, i typically do 3 sprays and i can feel its presence, also seems to last 10+ on me.
    ~May the scent be with you~

    I own both Herod and Arabian Horse. I had unrealistic, high hopes for this new clone of Herod. I’ve been disappointed in the past with Herod’s projection, so I decided to give this a try. The opening is quite a bit different, but dry down is similar, minus the strong powdery note, which I prefer. I really wish they had used vetiver as a base instead of patchouli, but they did blend it well. I give this a strong like, but Herod is a love for me. The price for Arabian Horse is $65 for 60 ml. You can purchase 125 ml of Herod for less than $140 if you’re able to find the right deal, which gives Arabian Horse no advantage in price. I still prefer Herod, but will wear Arabian Horse, too.

    I never smelled Herod so I’m judging this on its own merits.
    I love that yes, there’s tobacco and vanilla in there, but it’s smooth. That means it’s never cloying. You can spray 5 or more sprays and not fear choking anyone out.
    It is PERFECT for the cold weather and very versatile. I wore it to work and got unsolicited compliments from a co-worker that normally never comments on my fragrances.
    This one is classy, inviting and alluring.

    Herod has always been on my want list, but with the quality of this juice and the price, I’m seriously questioning whether it justifies the extra $$$. I love tobacco scents fragrances and this is top notch quality. The tobacco, cinnamon and incense, coupled with the cedar, patchouli and vetiver…what a blend! Enter the mild vanilla that just balances everything!
    This is definely something I would buy again.

    I recieved Arabian Horse which is an inspiration of parfum de marly herods
    I am very very impressed
    If the Arabian Horse and parfum de marly herod were at same price I will buy Arabian horse
    beast in longevity and projection

    I have had a love affair with Parfums de Marly’s Herod for a few years. However, I refused a bottle purchase due to its incredibly poor performance, given the high price. In fact, I have said on several occasions that Herod would be my signature scent if it weren’t for the poor performance. If this sounds like you… look no more! ARABIAN HORSE IS EVERYTHING THAT HEROD EVER DREAMED OF BEING AND THEN SO MUCH MORE! It smells better than Herod, period. The smell is better blended and the beautiful honey note is unreal. The performance is killer. IT LASTS LITERALLY ALL DAY, it projects well, and the scent is just glorious. Lastly, the price if unbeatable. You can buy this at a fraction of the price of Herod, unbelievable. I will never purchase Herod again. This is the best fragrance you could hope for. If you love Herod… you must buy this fragrance!

    Ok, so i had the chance to test this awesome juice with some other one from Alexandria named Hawai Volcano a great interpretation of creed VIW. Well i can only say this juice has blown me away. I am a sucker for the magnificent Herod from parfums de marly and i own a decant. The only bad part for it is the average performance…maybe it is just my skin or a batch variation, but let me tell you one thing, arabian horse is a beast in terms of projection and longevity compared to Herod. The smell is about 95% accurate, at least to my nose. It opens a little bit different but after about 5 min, it’s right there. I applied this juice in the morning and i was surprised to receive a random compliment at mac donalds, from the lady who was preparing my order…and it was 7 pm ;))) so for all the lovers of Herod out there who have performance issues, you really have to try this juice, just fantastic. Also the prices are insane for the quality that you get. A lot of love for Alexandria.

    This is an absolute interpretation of Parfums de Marly’s Herod. The opening is a regal concoction of tobacco and vanilla. This is not as harsh as TF Tobacco Vanille and is much more wearable. The scent is cozy and sensual. There is a sweetness that is definitely there but not over the top or cloying. This scent has been giving me 12+ hours every time I wear it. Loads of complements at work and everyone wondering where they can get some themselves or for their husbands! The price point can’t be beat either. I was really surprised by this one. I expect this to be one of the more popular from this line.
