Burberry Hero Eau de Toilette

Most Helpful Positive Review

Fresh. Woody. Spicy.

I feel that this fragrance is very simplistic, but not necessarily in a bad way. I gave this fragrance a week of wearing to work and during errands to get a comprehensive understanding of this fragrance. You get top notes of bergamot, mid notes of juniper berries & black pepper, and bass notes of t...hree types of cedar. The opening hits you with a fresh masculine citrus and it's very pleasant. The sillage is moderate and projects about 2-3 feet away for the first couple of hours and then comes down to the skin fairly quickly for me. After that I have to get my nose really close to my skin to smell it around the 3 hour mark. The climate I tried this in was high 80 and mid 90 degree Fahrenheit heat so I'm sure it being an EDT concentration may have been affected in some way. Indoors in air conditioning, I get slightly better performance, but not much more than that. This is a good mild, modern men's fragrance and would be great for both dressed up and dress down occasions. The ingredients definitely smell natural and high-quality with no perceptible synthetic notes. My only main complaint is the performance on my skin. Maybe others will have better performance, but for me this would be a fragrance that I would need to re-spray every few hours or so. Overall, I will give this fragrance a 6.8 out of 10 because I feel like there's many other fragrances in the same category (fresh woody spicy) that smell similar, although not exactly the same as this one. It is definitely pleasant and I enjoy wearing it, however the biggest factor for me would be the performance on my skin.
