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.

Stunning blend of warm woods, leather, vanilla, amber, and spices; bold yet elegant, classy and luxurious from start to finish. Smooth, very long-lasting, and incredibly well crafted. Definitely masculine, (expensive) but good value for the money. The mix of vanilla and leather is outstanding. Big love. 👍👍👍👍

Got a 1ml sample from Poland and my first impression is that it smells very close to the new Toy Boy 2 release, scratches the same itch. Good stuff, I like this scent profile. I'm sure it is different, but not enough for me to grab a bottle at this time. Worth trying tho, very pleasant

Do not judge this perfume on the initial smell of the spray, it needs to sit around 45 minutes for you to find heaven on skin. It's sweet with heavy leather and cedar. It smells just like the perfume pyramid shows. The top notes are not present at the start of the spray.

Niche level release, smoky leather open then quickly transitioning into the ambery vanilla while maintaining the leather and less smoke. I think it’s an excellent release, Burberry has been quietly releasing some gems the last few years.

Woody (like the rest of the line), sweet and a little smokey. It's like you turned the leather down a bit in the Parfum Intense and added a thick vanilla. Strong with good longevity. Can't wait for the cold weather to wear it more.

I don’t like it because it’s not clear what should this smell like there is leather and smoke in this for sure but uninspiring Tried it more and it’s a very good scent overall,very warm masculine

The finest leather on the market today, it surpasses all other leather niches and boasts an excellent, high-quality fragrance. leatherofnight suits him perfectly as a name

I love Hero...have them all. Just grabbed a bottle at Ulta before they put them on the shelf. This is the best one yet, with a rich leathery sweetness.

I love simple fragrances once in a blue moon, so I know this easy to reach designer will be awesome for my collection if it’s at a good price!

Elixir,Absolute,Essence is next

This is a great fragrance. It reminds me of one my all time favorites, L'eau D'issey Pour Homme Noir Ambré in the opening hours: a dense symphony of vanilla, amber, cedar, and suede. In the dry down, it becomes more like Bleu de Chanel l'Exclusiff or Eau d'Ombre Leather: incense, labdanum, and dark leather. I will say that I like this far more than Eau d'Ombre Leather and BDC l'Exclusiff and I would classify this as a niche-quality frag. The accords on these frags kind of blend together with fixitives in the final stages. It's smooth, but it can be hard to pick out individual notes at times. The cedar and amber are there for the life of the fragrance, which is extremely long-lived. Speaking of performance, I got over 10 hours on skin, days on clothing. Projection stays at about 3 feet/1 meter for over 5 hours. This is a fragrance best reserved for the fall, winter, and nights out in air conditioned environments throughout the warmer months. I would classify this as a masculine fragrance, but I could see a younger confident woman pulling this off. Overall, I love it. It's a big improvement upon the Parfum Intense, which I enjoyed, but not enough to buy a full bottle. This one will most certainly end up in my collection, but likely after the prices start to fall. I think the $200 for a 60ml/2oz trend that a lot of designer houses have been pushing lately is way too much (this fragrance, Gucci Guilty Absolu, YSL Y Elixir, BDC l'Exclusiff) as that is a price tier that is within striking distance of the price bracket that some of the more popular niche houses occupy at fragrance discounters (PDM and Xerjoff especially come to mind). I think $145 for a 2oz would be a fair price for this one, and that's my price target. Overall, I'm very pleased with this, and I will be picking up a decant as soon as I can find one for sale. 83/100

My sister works at Harrods for her internship this smuggles/steals scented water for me. Today I received 3 samples of the new Burberry. Hero Elixir smells like smooth leather and warm vanilla, but a bit cowboy. Think P. Diddy confidence with a bit of southern grit. My sister managed to secure me some other exclusive samples of unreleased ones. All in all, it’s nothing like the other Burberry hero and this one I might enjoy. Performance is just designer, not too bad not beastmode per se. — polished but still rough enough to feel alive. Today is also Jake Gyllenhaal birthday and I figured this might be a good scent to wear when we head to broke back mountain. U.S. House Impeaches President Bill Clinton (1998) Also on this day! Imagine the Christmas he must have had I will ask my sister for a tester bottle if she can snatch one.

It's quite decent fragrance. Mass appealing leather sweet scent

The woody structure blended with sweet vanilla and leather creates a really attractive and satisfying opening at first. It has that warm, rich, masculine vibe that instantly grabs attention and feels quite luxurious. I genuinely liked it in the beginning. The slightly sweet vanilla mixed with the woody leather base felt comforting, strong, and really appealing. But once it started to dry down, the scent slowly turned into something I personally don’t enjoy , bitter, slightly animalic, dusty, and almost like the smell of old worn-out furniture that’s been sitting around collecting dust for years. That’s usually the issue I have with these sweet woody masculine fragrances. The opening feels exciting and addictive, but the dry down eventually becomes too dusty, slightly dirty, and tiring for me. So even though the opening impressed me, the final stage completely ruined the experience. In the end, I realized this style just isn’t for me.

$199.00 for 2oz and this liquid is not even that great. 1. Not worth the price tag. 2. Smells like every other woody scent. 3. Longevity is moderate at best 3hrs and just sits really close to the skin with no really great projection. 4. If your a Burberry collector you might want to think twice on this one because your gonna wonder why you paid so much for so little performance. 5. Hard Pass for me I can't justify paying $199 for something so basic pass.....
