It's more than it seems
I reached Burberry Hero with no expectations, when it was released. And it didn't gave me good impressions. I wrote in a statement that it is very boring and generic cedar-iso e super smell and that Encre Noire is a better woody experience.
Well, i still think that Encre Noire is better but, this is actually good. Not great, not fantastic, but decent and well blended.
Aurélien Guichard is a great perfumer and has done some classics by now, so it's not a surprise that this would be good. The combination of juicy and fresh bergamot with the aromatic and dry woody base is very appealing and masterfully well blended. It didn't convinced me in my first impressions because it seemed very vulgar but, for a fragrance in the mainstream world, where everything has weird sweetness all over, this is really chic and sophisticated.
As it dries down, the cedarwood (the combo of 3 different types, in fact) is what makes this fragrance a good one and not a cheap and generic one. Because of the high quality of these materials, the drydown is actually good and long lasting, and don't became cheap like many other offerings.
This is not revolutionary, neither a great and must have fragrance, but it's a really nice, well blended scent, that makes a good office scent, or a causal everyday type of fragrance. If you want something versatile, masculine and polite, this is a contender, along with Encre Noire, Terre d'Hermes of even Bleu de Chanel.
The bottle is nice and the magnetic cap it's a nice touch. I don't like the new fond in the name of the brand and the name Hero it's not that accurate, but what matters it's the fragrance itself, so, if you want something new and not sweet, young and fun, but want something masculine and with nice quality for a good price, this could be your next purchase.
