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.

I had the privilege of smelling and purchasing this without realizing it was from that infamous Adam Driver advert. I think that cheesy commercial turned a lot of reviewers off. Hero is not a fascinating niche fragrance, but an excellent daily driver. Cedar is the unequivocal main note here, and it stays throughout the moderate longevity with support from black pepper. The bergamot zest is more apparent at the beginning and fades throughout. I find this fragrance lovely. Minimal note-wise, everything plays a supporting role to cedar. Tailor-made for the office, it's got character without being offensive or overpowering. I tend to dislike Burberry fragrances; Mr. Burberry, in particular, smells like a day-drinking plaid-wearing football hooligan. Hero, by contrast, is outdoorsy, refined, and uninterested in the goings-on of Manchester United.

I find it interesting that 2 of my most favorite designer scents (this and D&G K EDT) are also 2 of the most hated amongst the fragrance community lol. I love this stuff. Bright with a hint of spice. People say it’s generic but it’s quite unique to my nose. I went back and forth between if I liked this or the EDP more, but I think the EDT is my fav. If I had to strip my 40+ bottle collection (niche, designer, and clones/cheapies) to 10, Burberry Hero EDT would make the cut. Plus my wife likes it on me as well. It’s longevity is it’s only drawback in my opinion. Projects really good for me for maybe an hour and then suddenly turns into a skin scent. I have a dupe roller ball oil that I sometimes wear with it to help. But yeah, this is one I’ve been kinda obsessed with since I first smelled it in the mall 2 years before I actually bought it.

This is totally my kind of scent. I love woody colognes, and this one delivers. It's almost entirely built on a warm rich cedar base that is very masculine and appealing. It brings lots of peppery spice to add character and the juniper and bergamot give it liveliness and lift. There's just enough sweetness to smooth things out a bit, and the overall accord is a traditional woodsy one but with a modern refinement. This is a great versatile all season scent that's safe but interesting. The only knock is that the performance is pretty average, with several hours of moderate projection before it becomes more of a lingering skin scent. This is one you will need to reapply it you're looking for an all-day scent. But so-so performance aside, if you like woody scents you still can't go wrong with this one. I dig it.

Anywhere, anytime. Of my 100+ bottle collection (mostly designer and niche) this is in the top 5. It’s so easy and pleasant. I get that it’s been done before but it smells so nice and easy going. Got a compliment this first day wearing it. Recently my fragrances have been over projecting, sounds like a good problem to have, but I’m rarely in a situation where loud fragrances are appreciated.. (blue collar guy from MN) Most women love this stuff too, unless you’re dating someone that is super into fragrances as well and thinks it’s too mainstream. You can wear this stuff without being afraid of choking anyone out. It doesn’t last forever but you can depend on getting whiffs of it for 3-5 hours. I’m a fan, but maybe I’m basic lol

I really love this, it is a guilty pleasure for me. It is very fresh but also very woody scent and it smells very masculine. Opening is citrusy, dries to peppery-woody blend. Nothing is too synthetic or low quality, impossible to offend anyone and gets the job done. Great for all seasons in office-daily use, can be bought for very cheap prices; I believe 150ml bottle can be found for 70 usd which is a pretty good deal. Scents like this one, MB explorer, Monclear Pour Homme or Missioni Parfum are amazing all year rounders without smelling just like fresh clean citruses. They have some depth and character in them. Wished it was a little bit stronger tho, doesn't last much longer than 5 hours but projection is satisfying.

Sure, it may be non-complex and fairly simple... but it's a really nice masculine scent. I agree with the reviewer who said it actually ends up being quite unique in its simple goodness. It certainly is versatile. I really like it... although the woodsy vibe isn't my favorite profile overall. Only issue I have is, the performance is unremarkable, while the price is still high compared to other casual frags like Mont Blanc Legend or what have you. So you can overspray it and smell great, but it's a tad pricey for that type of thing. Still... it's an easy everyday reach, so if you like that woodsy profile, go for it. BTW -- I find using the EDT in the daytime and the EDP in the evening is a great way to go with this.

I could really see Adam Driver using this. It is masculine to say the least but it also has some kind of sweetnes to it. While it may not be a groundbreaking smell, it is definitely good. This could go nice inbetween 10-22 C°. Nice with an overcoat and a light jacket. I like Burberry in general and this was something that I expected to be good and it fulfilled my expectations. It has that overcoat-scarf-hat combination kind of smell (by that, I mean it would suit that trio really good). Because it was not groundbreaking, I was really in the middle of a 7 and an 8 and at the end of the day... 8/10

This is definitely a safe blind buy. I love the edt for daily use, it's powerful in the beginning, very spicy, but quickly calms down and you can really appreciate the scent in its fullest form. I'm not great at describing all of the notes, but to me this is such a good blend of citrus and woody, neither is begging for the attention, which allows you to really appreciate both for what they're worth. It's such a simple fragrance that you can't really go wrong with purchasing it and as long as you can handle the spicy opening, you will really like this for a good daily and year-round fragrance.

This is the best wood ever used in fragrance and when I say that I mean this is my favourite type of wood to smell out of any fragrance, the wood here is just done to perfection. Wood is actually quite a hard note to do correctly here it's amazing they picked the right type of woods, the right amount of wood and it smells like the quality of the wood is done well too. No stinky woods or green poisonous smelling woods used, only clean smelling woods. Also I think i'm the only person to notice this but I think it smells similar to Byredo Gypsy water which I also own a bottle of

This was "meh" to me on intial spray, but, for some reason, I kept wanting to smell it. After a few days, I realized that this is really good. It's not a heavy or resinous scent, just a lightweight, sweet cedar with a little spice. Appropriate for just about any occassion or season; it's not sweet to the point of seeming juvenile or dry to the point of smelling overly mature. Longevity and projection are on the lighter side of moderate. You can get the 100 mL for under $70 right now on discounters, and I think that's fair. In the end, this went from a "meh" to a firm "like."

If you like scents like DH 2020, you will like this. Just a very nice, slightly introverted scent in a sea of sweet attention getting try-hards. Some might call it boring, but it's anything but, personally I think it's sexy and has character. The first time I wore it I wasn't overly impressed, but what I find is that the more I wear it the more I appreciate it's simplicity and versatility. It's a grower for sure. Performance could be better, but it's not terrible. I get around 5 hours of moderate projection, and moderate silage. Signature scent worthy and a 5 for me.

This review is from the POV of a woman in her early 20s. I received a sample and immediately loved it and gave it to my boyfriend to wear. It smells like a very attractive man I would feel comfortable around. Sweet, reminds me a little of shampoo, but nothing light or fruity. It’s very pleasant and would be great for summer or daytime. My boyfriend and I compared it to Burberry Hero EDP and both agreed this is the winner. The bottle is nice and classic, not too flashy just like the scent. I would recommend and also convinced my boyfriend to get it lol.

This is a really great fragrance because it stands out from a lot of the other designer fragrances nowadays and it fits the Burberry brand perfectly. It reminds me of an old English mansion, a kind of old smell, but at the same time it is modern. I'm not sure how they did it but it's perfect for those looking for that old Burberry vibe but at the same time it doesn't literally smell like a vintage perfume. The performance isn't amazing but still it lasts a good time. Overall this is one of my favorite scents and I'm glad it fits so well with the brand.

This was a blind buy and it was amazing! People are mentioning that this fragrance doesn’t last long, but on my skin I get easily 7-8 hours of longevity and STRONG projection for the first 2-3 hours then mild to soft projection through out the day for me. It smells woody and spicy but not in a warm terms. It sounds like it’s a basic smell, which it could be but it has something that makes it stand out compared to others in this price range. I personally love it and think it’s a safe blind buy, but performance will vary person to person!

IN LOVE WITH THIS! The scent is familiar.. maybe reminiscent of Sauvage? Y? Terre d'Hermes? .... But oh my.. that one is soo simple yet so addicting... It's RAW cedar wood for once.. Barely affected by other notes.. It has a sweet woodiness to it.. enhanced by the non-empowering spiciness of black pepper and the green accord of juniper.. and the bergamot is here for a soft citrusy touch, that balances the woodiness.. This is just.. PERFECT... Not a singular synthetic note to my nose... Smells like hiking in a deep green forest... 9/10
