Hero

@YoutubeChannelBobGianShow ... why did you spray it 6 times? This scent, I'd go max four sprays. It'll get you somewhere between noticeable, but it'll remain close to the skin, which, in my opinion, is pretty perfect I really find it hard to read a review that starts with something like "when one first uncaps the vile, they're transported to a charred redwood forest... etc., etc." I think looking at the notes is hard, as everyone interprets them differently, but creating an analogy is somewhat harder, as we all imagine scenarios differently, which is super beautiful! Nonetheless, I'll try my best as a senior in high school to describe Burberry Hero. First off, this scent is good for any time, but I think it better reflects the colder months. I prefer a lighter scent in the summertime, but this could still work for a chill lake-house vibe. This would go hard on a boat. I think this bottle is really sleek; it could 100% be used in an office or maybe even on a date. I'm one of the master carpenters in the woodshop at my school, and I really often wear it then. Guys, I really don't love spicy scents, but this one does it well, where it's really not at all overdone or super headache-inducing. I would still smell Hero as well as other wood scents before you buy this, but that's my philosophy for any scent that's not cheap, and they have these at malls, makeup stores, and wherever. The top note, if you take of the magnetic cap, is really attractive and addictive, but not in the same way other scents are, as this one is simpler and easier to understand: A little bit of citrus, something boozy (which the notes don't mention), some juniper, something sweet I can't put my finger on, and vague fresh-cut wood. I guess I don't get the pepper as much as everyone else, except maybe at first in the back of my mouth. As it settles into the later notes (which is what's likely most important), it's much more focused on wood, a bit drier, and less citrusy, which I think is fun for wearing on nights out. I do wish they kept some of the citrus from earlier, as it adds a bit of attraction and depth, but I like it regardless. This was the first real cologne I bought, except for a discontinued Hollister one and CK Everyone which I wear in the summer (fairly low longevity and sillage - whoops!), and I really enjoy it. I would recommend it, but do your research! Things cost money. Be smart. Figure out when and where you would wear this. Also, this is my first review, so let me know what I should do differently.

Overall this is a beautiful fragrance, on initial application there is a very short lived note that stands out since it smells very synthetic. Thankfully this synthetic note fades out very quickly, within the first couple of minutes and is entirely gone in less then five minutes. As soon as it starts to dry down it becomes a very nice strongly woody scent with decently strong but not overpowering aromatic notes with the perfect hints of fresh and spicy mixed in. The woodyness in this fragrance doesn’t remind me of a forest or fresh cut wood at all. Rather it smells like very old dry wood, the kind you find in a workshop that hasn’t been used in a very long time. I very much enjoyed this, it reminds me of my past in a exceedingly pleasant way. There is perhaps a tiny note of sweetness in it as wel. I didn’t get any notes of powderness or citrus in it, which I am very glad of but slightly suprised about. More the citrus since it, according to Fragrantica is supposed to be very prominent but I detected none of it. The powdery notes may have been present, I think that they where what I was perceiving as sweet. The longevity on this fragrance is decent, lasting 6 to 7 hours on my skin and about 5 on my clothes. I’m happy to say as it starts to fade out around the 6 hour mark it just gets lighter and lighter untill it vanishes. I would give it a 7/10 for longevity. Projection was low for me, wearing closer to the skin but in a very enjoyable way, I think if this fragrance had projected strongly that it would have become overpowering and hard to wear. I would give it a 4/10 for projection. Even with that I would score this a 8/10 overall. I really enjoyed this fragrance I would like to try others from this line once my year of reviews it over.

I honestly think this is a masterpiece. It's a very woody fragrance but with a warm, slightly sweet hint to it. It's masculine but sexy. Youthful but sophisticated. I could wear this all day long, every day. At work, on a date, just lounging round the house... I can't get enough of this smell. It's perfect for all age ranges too. It's just a great all round classy scent. I've recently bought a few supposedly woody fragrances on my search for a new signature scent. Terre d'Hermes, Dior Homme Sport, MontBlanc Explorer but this is hands down the best of the bunch and as soon as it hit my nostrils, I knew I'd found the one. Projection and silage is average. It's not beast mode but it's not a poor performer either. It's what I'd expect from this sort of price point and there's nothing stopping you from applying a couple of extras sprays after a few hours if you want to top up the performance. This gets a perfect 10 from me. It's my new signature scent and is probably the best masculine woody fragrance available today.

I absolutely love this fragrance. Its a modern, masculine fragrance that is pretty much citrus (bergamot but I also think citron is in this one) and cedar. Its an obvious cedar dominant fragrance and that is the star of the show. Its like freshly cut cedar wood that is at the perfect age of maturation, and it is amazing. The juniper and black pepper helps to make it a but spicy but just enough. Its really the perfect amount of spice if you ask me. Some will say its basic but you are not going find a better cedar frag for the price point, its some good quality juice. It does get a tad powdery but in the most masculine way. This is such a great work scent every season besides winter but you can get away with it then too. I've been getting a solid 5-6 hours. Which is the downside but I'm okay with that. In warmer weather you will get more projection and longevity. The sun is this fragrance's best friend. And this fragrance is my best friend in summer, warmer spring and fall days.

This and the EDP are unique. Nothing smells like them. They stand out on any walk through smelling of a departments scents. It's not blue and it's not ambroxan and it's not sweet. This bucks the trend. It doesn't smell like any older or classic scent so it really has potential to create new and unique impressions on people. This stands out. If you smell several scents in a day and also smell this, you will understand. Closely harmonized accords of a gentlemanly and sexy wood, not smoke nor tobacco. Not fresh citrus or sailing scent. This is a sophisticated lumberjacks go to, the homesteading bitcoin investor who home schools his kids and knows self sufficiency and tradition forever trump the worlds cheap plastic values and fake virtue signalling for "diversity" and conformity. For the farmer who drinks bourbon and the philosopher who still reads books on paper. Mans cologne of thought and action.
