Surprisingly good flanker

I was not expecting this one to be this good. With a desperate flanker name like "Parfum Intense" it just feels like they're clutching at straws for this line to be relevant. And honestly, it hasn't been since Hero Eau de Toilette was released, and that's only because that's a cut rate version of Dior Homme (2020) Eau de Toilette. The EDP and Parfum are just department store filler amberwoods.

And admittedly, the drydown here is not complex and kinda just goes the same path as Hero Parfum. But the opening is crazy. Super smoky leather and vanilla - "Le Vestiaire - Babycat | Yves Saint Laurent" vibes, morphing into a really nice woody mid. There is always that sharp maltol sweetness lingering around though. Like I said, the base gets a bit generic, but holding it up to my nose I can still get the some of the smoky embers of the powerful opening remaining.

Performance is quite good, projecting immensely in the first hour or two then settling on skin for another 6-8. Usually these kinds of smoky leather frags are not for youngsters but the aforementioned sweet maltol really youth-ifies it and I could see a particularly edgy teenager rocking this at school (like I did Bvlgari Black back in the day ). I'm sure this one's gonna fly right under everyone's radar because it's a blandly-named flanker in a super boring line but it is definitely worth a try.

Edit: my pricing rating is based on what I'm predicting the discounter price to be at a few months from now. You can find Hero Parfum for around $50 on discounters and I assume this will be the same.

Edit 2: this one stayed on me all night and well into the morning when I took a shower. Updating my longevity rating because this is BEASTLY

My Lumber Lord's Love Log

Burberry Hero Parfum Intense unfolds like dusty amber tobacco nestled in a mahogany humidor, cedar oils so intense they conjure a romance novel Fabio carved entirely from fragrant wood; golden resin pooling in the grain of his impossible biceps, abs you could grate cheese on if they weren't made of aromatic cedar, pectorals broad enough to land a helicopter if they weren't so heavily forested with sawdust, a sprinkle of black pepper-like errant chest hairs poking through his unlaced pirate blouse. Thighs like ancient oak trunks offering not seduction but the domestic comfort of a Snuggie, strong arms thick as timber promising Calgon-take-me-away escape, the performative masculinity of rippling wooden muscles dissolving into something unexpectedly nurturing, pipe tobacco sweetness without the acrid burn, fragrant wood shavings soft enough to curl up against those carved shoulders. Fragrance as guilty pleasure romance novel, the kind you read alone in Cheeto-stained sweatpants: Johanna Lindsey's never published My Lumber Lord's Love Log.

Burnt Rubber Elixir

Pepper spray, cheap cognac and pungent sour pleather. Super strong and aggressive. Fills the whole room and then some from a single spray, stings my nose, makes me cough and struggle to breathe. Suddenly I'm a child again, holding mother's hair back while she pukes out of the taxi window. Revolting. My partner said that it smells like burning plastic to him, so at least it's not just my nose's personal problem.

A pain to scrub off too. I gave up an hour in and tried to wash it off with soap; scrub it; clean it off with pure ethanol – it became a bit weaker, but refused to get out of my skin and still clung to me through the whole evening and then some. Painful stuff, and not in a fun way :(

Burberry Hero Parfum Intense

I really enjoy this. This is a very nice mass appealing scent. It is quite smooth for a leather scent. The anamlic touch is very faint to my nose. It becomes more apparent in the dry down, giving it a masculine appeal. Overall very creamy, woody scent. In the air I almost get a sandalwood type vibe. If you removed the florals and added a masculine leather and pepper to Dolce the One EDP, you'd get close to this. That's just what I smell, I'm sure many won't agree with that. As far as performance, I could still smell it on my shirt the next day pretty well. Sillage appeared average but I received a compliment from a couple feet away after nearly 4 hours of spray. I think there is a fair amount of nose blind with it.

Best Hero so far

Hero Parfum Intense presents a rich, smoky, leathery, sweet, vanillic and woody scent that is ideally suited for winter and autumn.

It is notably strong and carries a nutty undertone, with the leather initially giving off a gasoline-like aroma that gradually fades away. This leans towards the niche market, and many may not appreciate it, especially during the opening and mid stages.

This fragrance is loaded with vanilla in the dry down and is quite heavy. A maximum of 3 sprays is sufficient, as more could lead to an overwhelming and potentially nauseating experience. I believe it might even surpass other well-known elixirs in strength.

Although leather scents are not usually my preference, this one distinguishes itself as something rather different. The only downside is it's somewhat linear; I would have preferred a bit more complexity, but it still holds its own as it is.

Initially, I received a tester sample and found it somewhat unexciting. However, I kept coming back to it, I couldn't stop smelling the tester strip; it possesses an addictive quality, especially for those who appreciate very dark fragrances.
