We don't need another hero....
Hero - the hero. With such a name, of course, you arouse desires, you stir up expectations and last but not least, you also convey a message to the potential buyer in the direction of "with this fragrance you become a (women?) Hero!"
Since all previous Burberrys, which I know, rather a heavy, sweetish or oriental component in itself, so actually have nothing to do with the Empire or the United Kingdom, I suspected a continuation of this track. But far from it, the prelude surprises me quite positively. Almost tangy and fresh run the first seconds, before then relatively briskly the bergamot makes its way.
Nevertheless, bothers me - and the longer the more - some aftertaste, which prevents the bergamot - successfully - to unfold its full effect. Some others may find this composition beautiful, I as a fundamental fan of bergamot do not. Maybe it's the pepper, which makes life difficult for the bergamot with its sharpness, maybe it's the juniper, maybe both together.
Woods: I had to grin when I troubled the fragrance pyramid to get an idea of what slightly woody shines through. Quite honestly, I wouldn't have thought of the variations of cedar listed there in a million years, but then I'm not a professional perfumer. I love the smell of my cedar shoe trees, but here I have a really hard time smelling cedar as such.
At least, over time, the pepper at least warps to where it grows, giving the bergamot a chance to survive. In addition, the woody touch gradually takes over the stage and lets the bergamot fade, but not completely disappear. At the end, and this is then so after about five hours, the hero says goodbye with a slightly woody wave, although the finale somehow smells very artificial and synthetic to me.
The bottle is okay, nicely done, but visually now not reinvented the wheel. The magnetic closure I find good, suggests at least high quality.
Sillage: At the beginning strong, unfortunately just as strong decreasing. Since just separates the wheat from the chaff. Where high-carat fragrances project for hours, the hero unfortunately lets the wings hang too quickly.
Similarly, it is about the durability. After five to six hours is really only in direct nose contact something perceptible, even there is the (albeit more expensive) competition better positioned.
The fragrance itself fits perfectly into the year 2021, appealing and modern, but at the same time somehow arbitrary and interchangeable. And that's exactly the point I want to make here: not a bad part, there are rows of clearly worse examples, but just not good enough to tear me from the stool and trigger an immediate purchase stimulus.
Test recommendation for those who are looking for a fragrance as a Christmas gift, because you do nothing wrong with it.
