This cologne smells great, bergamot is a favorite of mine and it really shines in this scent. I tried it on my wrist just to be able to determine how much the scent changed with dry-down and how long it wore, but my husband also tried it and he loved how it smelled on him. It is a clean, fresh scent with a bit of woodsy spice. My husband compared it to a "fancy shower gel" scent, but take that with a grain of salt! He did immediately want me to buy some for him, so that is saying something. From what I could tell, the scent you get straight from the bottle is the same as what you get after it dries down. It unfortunately was not very long lasting, which I took a star off for, but which I think is to be expected with an EDT rather than a perfume. All in all I was a ... MoreThis cologne smells great, bergamot is a favorite of mine and it really shines in this scent.

The traditional Burberry fragrance has such a wonderful scent. Persistent smell it isn’t too loud, but it is on all day. Wears this to work every day and receive many praises on it. Compare to what is available today, it is a fantastic fragrance that is extremely inexpensive! I didn’t realize how large of a bottle it was when I purchased it.but that’s okay because it will last a long time. I’ve always loved the perfume and would recommend to anyone.

A great scent that no one else can smell

This fragrance is frustrating - it smells good enough, but the performance is not great Bob. I received a complimentary sample to review and wore the frag for a week. On a tester strip, this smells great! Like you opened up a GQ magazine and huffed the culmination of all the samples - which is good in this case. I could definitely see how this scent profile would do nothing for some - it is a very middle of the road modern woods scent - but what smells good, smells good. The performance and silage off of my skin was non-existent. I tried 3-7 sprays - and it still didn’t pop off of my skin and didn’t benefit from getting sprayed on fabric either. What I’d say is - get a sample, and hopefully it works on your skin because then you’d unlock a perfectly fine dumb reach ... MoreThis fragrance is frustrating - it smells good enough, but the performance is not great Bob.

Elegant New Men's Cologne

I am a guy that's purchased cologne many many many times since the late 80s. Cologne was far from my mind when shopping Macy’s a couple weeks ago, but a nice lady approached me and asked that I smell the new Burberry Hero. I let her spray some on my wrist and told her I'd be back if it agreed with my pH. I let this fragrance settle and did not rub it into my skin… the first mistake people make with colognes and perfumes. After at least a half hour it settled very nicely. I got a hint of Burberry London with this scent… which is a fragrance I purchased when it was first released. I was so impressed with this light, yet woodsy and masculine scent that I had to buy it. You have to let this fragrance settle (like every fragrance) before jumping to conclusions. It's a ... MoreI am a guy that's purchased cologne many many many times since the late 80s.

I want to thank the ladies at the San Francisco Union Square store for offering outstanding customer service. This was indeed a superb purchase!

Embrace your rugged side like Adam Driver

There are two basic types of men in this world; ones that like to spend time in the great outdoors and the ones that find their joy in being indoors with air conditioning. Now before you get all in a huff about me generalizing men into two pools, I know there are some in-between and many-leveled variants of the two. My point is this, Hero, the new fragrance for men by Burberry, will help any indoor man smell like a rugged, outdoorsy man in the best way possible. It's woody and spicy with a top note of Bergamot, so you know it's good. The middle notes of Juniper and Black Pepper with base notes of three different types of Cedar. Essentially this is how you think any outdoor man or man in a Nicolas Sparks book would smell. I know this is true because my wife's eyes ... MoreThere are two basic types of men in this world; ones that like to spend time in the great outdoors and the ones that find their joy in being indoors with air conditioning.

Boy howdy! It's so impossibly woody and warm. A shirtless Adam Driver is the model on the advertisements, for crying out loud. Hero has got the goods. It is so much more pleasant and masculine than any other scent I've worn in the past. I might have found a new favorite scent. You should try it for yourself and see how a fresh scent can embrace your rugged side.

Great

Burberry's new Hero scent is like starting a new relationship. it's good in the beginning band it's such a manly smell that gives you a sense that the day is gonna go great, believe me the smell is amazing and I love it but just as a new relationship the honeymoon phase doesn't last. I'm a fan of Burberry but not the scents they provide. the hero made me think that finally they made a great smell, which they did, but it doesn't last long. I got a free sample thanks to influenster and Burberry and I very much appreciate the effort but I like strong and refreshing scents that last a long time, Burberry refused to deliver. would I buy to support? yes cause I love the smell but would only wear it to a lunch or something short. all In all Burberry hero is not a zero but ... MoreBurberry's new Hero scent is like starting a new relationship. it's good in the beginning band it's such a manly smell that gives you a sense that the day is gonna go great, believe me the smell is amazing and I love it but just as a new relationship the honeymoon phase doesn't last.

Great Everyday Scent

Let me preface this review with the fact that I rarely (once a year) wear cologne, mostly due to the fact I am tighter than skin on a hot dog and refuse to pay the prices for cologne. For reference, I still have cologne I purchased 20 years ago! I received a sample for the Burberry Hero cologne and I was extremely satisfied with the product. The scent is very woody (cedar), but in no way overpowering, with a slight citrus hint. The fragrance is light and not a bit musky. One issue I have had through the years is a cologne scent hanging with me more than a couple hours...this scent hung with me for several hours. I did enjoy the fragrance and would classify it as an everyday wear. Would I pay $125 for it? No, but you might if you are a connoisseur of cologne.

Smooth Smell

This is a great light, smooth smell, it's for all ages which includes teenagers. It can be difficult finding a scent for first time youngsters that doesn't overwhelm classroom peers. When you get a whiff, you will want to get closer for a better smell. The dry down brings out the juniper, this mixed with black pepper and cedar is so good. I originally bought the 5 oz and it only smelled like cedar missing the other key ingredients, completely different smell. Returned it for the smaller bottle, not sure why this happens buying certain brands in larger bottles. Feel like you're getting ripped you off. Knocked off a star for this hassle.

Underrated!

This is a very underrated fragrance from Burberry. If you love woody scents then you should get your nose on this. This a a versatile fragrance that can be worn in all seasons especially the fall season. It's fresh in the opening but quickly becomes spicy and very woody. Performance is pretty decent as I get 6 to 7 hours on my skin with an hour of projection. 👌🏼𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗼 by 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆 is a Woody Spicy fragrance and was launched in 2021. It was created by Aurelien Guichard.Top note is Bergamot. Middle notes are Juniper and Black Pepper. Base notes are Atlas Cedar, Virginian Cedar and Himalayan Cedar.

Worth the buy

I was able to smell and test this product through a sample size which I’ve had for about three weeks now. I don’t like writing reviews after one use of a product, I have to give it time to see if it’s really something I enjoy once the thrill goes away. I really really like Burberry scents however some are hit and some are complete misses. Hero smells really nice. It’s soft from the initial application and it just softens as time goes on without being lost. It has a familiar smell to me, which is why I only gave it three stars. It’s a very pleasant scent but it gave me a been there, smelled that vibe. However, if you love Burberry and want a switch up, this is definitely a good choice. It’s soft and a little sweet while smelling masculine.
