Hero
Hero by Burberry is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 2021 in the designer price tier. It opens with bergamot, black pepper and pink pepper, moves into cedarwood and atlas cedar and dries down to virginia cedarwood and benzoin. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Atlas Cedar Smoother, resinous cedar. Warmer than the Virginia type.
Dry-down
- Virginia Cedarwood The pencil-shaving one specifically. Dry, sharp and slightly sweet.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
