Hero Parfum

Hero Parfum is the parfum concentration version of Burberry's Hero line, launched in 2024 after the eau de toilette and eau de parfum. Signed by Aurélien Guichard, this masculine woody fragrance pairs amyris and cypriol oil at the top, and sets down the trio of cedars on which the house built the entire line as the base.

Where to buy

Hero Parfum forms the third chapter of Burberry's Hero line, opened by an eau de toilette and extended by an eau de parfum. The house describes it as intense and powerful, and places it within a masculine collection built around a trio of cedar oils.

Aurélien Guichard, the perfumer behind the line, says he chose cedar as a symbol of strength and incorruptibility. For this version, he wanted to make this wood sensual and recounts having dreamed of a forest by the sea, whose sun-warmed woods reflect in the ocean.

The perfumer sees in the Hero man a modern masculinity, between strength and sensitivity; the brand has it embodied in its campaigns by actor Adam Driver.

A bottle inspired by a horse's hoof

The angular glass bottle bears the Burberry logo; like the others in the line, it abstractly evokes a horse's hoof. It comes in 50, 100 or 150 ml and can be refilled in its 100 ml format, the refill being sold separately.

Olfastory’s review

Hero Parfum has drawn few signed reviews, and the most pointed one rejects it. Varanis Ridari, on his blog The Scented Devil, finds neither the cedar, the cypriol, nor the amyris that were announced, and describes a sweet opening with coconut accents, laden with musks and amber materials.
