Hero Elixir de Parfum

I tried this Hero Exilir De Parfum few weeks ago in Sephora when it had just been published for about two weeks and I love it so much immediately. However the price it's just goddamn crazy!!! I mean come on $200 for ONLY 60ml? Fxxk this insane Consumerism trap. Anyway Hero Exilir De Parfum will smell so great after being used at least 30 minutes. The mix of vanilla and some other new stuffs makes the main charactor of Hero - cedarwood a whole new next leverl - much much stronger and impressive. I can say that Exilir De Pardum version beats all the other versions of Hero perfumes on the SMELL and DURATION - duration might be a little bit better than the Parfum Intense but the smell just beats the Parfum Intense totally. I'm not a professional and the only words I know it's just this latest version has more complex fragrance. I really love this smell. It blows my mind like I'm by the fire in a cedar forest house in heavy snow. BUT the price is just CRAZY!!! With this money I can buy 3 or 4 Versace and Armani or some sh*t. Again, the price is too crazy!!! WTF Burberry?

Burberry Hero is a high-quality fragrance line that stands among some of my favorites in the designer fragrance world. I just got a bottle of Hero Elixir today for my husband. He strongly prefers niche fragrances, so for him to love it as much as he does says a lot. On him, the vanilla and leather interplay in such a good way. There's the authentic three-cedar blend (Atlas, Virginian, and Himalayan cedars) that identify it as Hero, but the rest feels quite elevated. Very masculine. Very long lasting. It competently walks the line between niche and designer sensibilities and is the first to win over my niche-loving husband. Edited to add: My husband wore this to work every day this week. I can smell it wafting through the house for hours after he leaves, and can still smell it on him from several feet away when he gets home, ~12 hours after he put it on.

It's nothing revolutionary, and certainly not worth the price. I got a 2.0oz bottle for free and it's just ok. It's a very powdery vanilla scent with some leather floating around in the background. It reminds me a lot of Tom Ford Eau d' Ombre Leather, but I enjoyed the Tom Ford more. I will say, this is a performance beast on clothes, and is very strong on the skin. It's still projecting pretty well on my skin 10hrs after spraying. If you're a fan of the line, test it somewhere before buying. I would have been upset if I would have blind-bought this at nearly $200 for 60ml.

Absolute best of the Hero line. I don't own any, as I tested them all extensively and found them wanting. My son owns the EDT and EDP, those are nothing like the flankers that came after. I'll be adding this one to my 'wants' list for a future purchase. Also, this is nothing at all like Eau d'ombre leather. Not even in the same hemisphere. This is already on discounters for about $100-110. A good deal. When it drops below $100, i'm on it.

Paid €98 for the bottle. Incredible juice. Might be redundant if you already own the Parfum Intense. The leather is so smooth. The vanilla just does something special to it. In the dry down, it almost smells like it has coconut in it. If you can get it below €100, it might be worth looking into. Performance is good. Might be a bit too strong for office wear.
