An Original fragrance I received a SMALL complimentary sample of Burberry's HERO Eau de Parfum in exchange for my honest review.
Because this was only a sample vial, not a full-sized bottle, I was unable to get a true sense of my first visual impression. The sample did come attached to a bi-fold card with a photo of the bottle, and from what I can tell from that, it does appear to promote a clean, masculine vibe.
Upon spraying a small amount on myself (female), I was pleasantly surprised by the woodsy, citrus scent with a spicy afternote (think cinnamon). I left it on my wrist for a length of time to test its longevity; after 2-3 hours, I could barely smell it.
I asked my husband to wear Hero for the next few days to allow for a more thorough review. On him, it seemed more reminiscent of Pine, with a strong citrus undertone. The first day, it was quite noticeable when he first applied the EDP, however, was barely discernible just a few hours later.
The second and third days, I asked him to spray a small amount under the collar of his shirt to see if it would last longer when applied to fabric; This helped the scent stay more apparent throughout the day, but just barely.
I personally liked the Hero scent on my husband yet he feels it was overly "sweet"and is not something he would choose to wear on a regular basis. I like the fresh, clean fragrance of Hero, but it's not a cologne I would purchase.
Pleasant Scent I was sent a very small sample of Burberry's new cologne called Hero, in order to try and review.
The cologne has a pleasant, masculine scent. It has a woody smell that is mixed with fresh spicy fragrances, which makes this a good cologne to wear any time of day or night during spring, summer and fall time of year. The fragrance does have enough weight to it, though, to add to your winter rotation, if the scent becomes one of your favorites.
I gave this fragrance a "good" rating, instead of a higher score, because it is difficult for me to pick up on the smell. In order to complete this review, I had to spray quite a bit on me and hold my wrist up close to my nose, in order for the smell to appropriately register. I wonder if I had a full size bottle with a better spray pump, might it produce a stronger scent?
That said, this cologne is excellent for you guys out there who do not like the fruity, heavy citrus and/or aquatic warm weather fragrances that are so prevalent this time of year. Hero has done a good job of offering a woody/spicy fragrance that is fresh enough to wear during times of warm weather, which I appreciate. In my opinion, there are not enough of these scents.

Love this smell it's a woodsy smell and lasts all day. Bought it for my fiancé and he loves it. I decided to wear two sprays of it so see what it smells like on a woman and it still smells great and not too man like.
