A safe inoffensive scent
This is a safe, although boring woods centric scent.
You get a few minutes of bergamot and pepper, a bit of pine, but after that is all cedar. That’s it. Everyone go home.
It’s boring but I like it, it’s well crafted, not a lot of nonsense notes to mislead the customer. It’s just a nice fresh woody scent.
Projection and longevity suck, but at discounters, the price isn’t bad at all.
Recommended if you want a nice not in your face scent at a good price.

Inoffensive warm flanker
A perfect flanker.

You get the edt for day in the office or outdoors and this for the cozy evening.

Benzoin sweetness with Frankincense cooling it and cedar in the background, probably my favorite out of the whole line. Sweet and cozy not particularly unique or interesting but its very nice resinous sweet frag for sure.

Eating ambrosia salad out of Adam Driver's hands
This version of Burberry Hero begins with the fleeting season of apricots and musing on how easily they bruise, how you’ll never again know the childhood euphoria of that pretty smocked easter dress the color of rice powder and coconut with ruffles and lace and three pearly buttons but you will never forget the unabashed joyful flavor of a mouth crammed full of jelly beans. What Hero where and who is it that smells like the sour cream powdered sugar sweetness of picnic ambrosia salad, all pools of Cool Whip, and marshmallows soaked in the juice of tiny mandarin oranges and pineapple syrup, but not that really–rather the phantom of that atomic summer fruit confection, the faint lingering fragrance of it, at the bottom of a polished cedar bowl.

Inoffensive but bland
I will start this by saying it is not a bad smell, not particularly interesting or unique however. All I smell is the benzoin and woods, don’t get any of the fruitiness some people claim. Lasts for a while 10-12 hours and projects pretty decent. Good for when I don’t know what to wear.
Price 5/10 (not worth the hefty price would be worth it if like say 80-50 bucks)
Smell 8/10 (boring)
Longevity 7/10
Projection 8/10
Bottle 9/10
Total: 37/50

The Hero We Need?
One of my first bottles I ever purchased after taking one whiff of a spray from a decant and I had to have this in my life.

Pretty much sweet pine and some balsamic spiciness. Vibing with the outdoors here. Through the mids comes up a sort of smoky vanilla note, but not very sweet. Just enough to compliment the top along with some incense type note to play in the background. The base is exploding with cedar, but fear not, it's not all pencil shavings. It's more complex. I would assume the different cedars brings out the best in each other and you are left with a slightly dry resinous, cedar powerhouse that lacks the sweetness of many modern scents of today, which, in my opinion, is welcome to my palate.

While it can be hard to pull off in the dog days of summer, even in cooler summer days, I can give this a spray or two and be pleased. I have to admit, I am not much for designer fragrances these days, but this one makes my cut. Well worthy of anyone seeking a masculine outdoors scent.

Also, the magnetic bottle cap is a chef's kiss.

Briefly synthetic, followed by sweet, spiced ambery vanilla + balsamic/resinous undertones.
Dry woodiness, faint piney edge. Boring, bland.

Upon closer inspection it turns from one of those common, mass appealing designer accords into an interesting smoky resinous woody scent.

One of my favorites in my collection. So good, like a woody syrup. Gives an amazing scent trail. Underrated. Compliment machine.

Just off a tester atomizer it smells like someone who likes to go outdoors and read books at a coffee shop. Sophisticated n adventurous.

Signature fall/winter scent for wood lovers, versatile, and leans masculine. The performance isn't fantastic. It's linear but respectable.

Tries to be in between the aromatic spicy woods of the EDT and sweet dark woods of the parfum, ends up being the worst of both worlds.
