Modern Woody-Freshness
Before I tell you about Burberry’s Hero, a quick heads-up:
If you’re looking for a flamboyant scent that is going to dominate the room… or something hyper complex or “off the beaten path”, then you’re going to be sorely disappointed, because this one is…
Beautifully Simple
And I’ll keep it simple for you, my friend:
Hero is a modern, simplistic, woody-fresh scent with a classy touch to it. It’s understated and smells super-clean, which makes it a pleasure for you to wear pretty much anywhere, anytime, anyplace, any season. It just — works!
Let me give you a quick breakdown:
The second Hero hits your skin, the bright, fresh bergamot citrus gives you an immediate boost of confidence. It has an uplifting fresh-fizzy feel to it.
And as soon as the citrus dissipates, freshly-cut cedarwood makes itself known — joined with some juniper and a sprinkling of pepper.
The juniper adds a little bit of a fresh green edge to the soft peppery woods, and it’s…
Light & Airy
And, finally, as it dries down, you get an absolute pinch of underlining sweetness.
It’s clean… It’s fresh… And it’s woody!
Why mess with what works?
Sidenote: Apparently, this is composed of 3 different varieties of high-quality cedar oils, from the mountainous regions of Atlas, the Himalayas, and the Appalachians.
Not gonna lie, though — it just smells like cedar, to me. 🙂
Courteous
Hero is an EDT and is light and airy, and projects mildly off the skin (say, half an arm’s length) for up to 1-2 hours, then sits courteously close to the skin — giving off nice, gentle wafts when you move about.
Therefore, it’s tailor-made for situations when you don’t want to offend other people around you, but you still want to have that fresh, clean, appealing confidence. So…
As I mentioned earlier, I think Hero can be worn for pretty much any occasion, casually or professionally — year-round (just modulate your sprays depending on the situation/temperature).
Plus, it’s one that could be enjoyed by all ages.
By the way, it makes for an absolute killer office scent, as it has a professional vibe to it.
Modern & Minimalistic
Now, I’ll be straight with you; lasting performance was a bit iffy — it was all over the place. In our tests, depending on the wearer and temperature, it lasted anywhere from 4–8 hours. So your mileage may vary.
Hold your horses, I almost forgot…
Just like the scent itself, the bottle also has a modern, minimalistic look. It’s heavy, thick glass and is topped off with a handy magnetic cap, which has the brand’s TB logo engraved on the top (the founders initials).
Apparently, the shape of the bottle is designed to be reminiscent of a horse’s hoof. Coming from the theme of the Hero commercial featuring superstar actor Adam Driver, where he races a horse on the beach and ends up morphing into a Centaur (a half-man, half-horse mythical creature). Pretty cool. Anyways…
What’s the key takeaway?
Hero is pretty simple, but ultra-effective.
