Hero, a new fragrance signed Burberry Burberry is a brand famous the world over that embodies the quintessence of English elegance. Since the appearance of its logo in 1901, the creation of its trench coat for the war of 14-18, the arrival of Christopher Bailey at its helm, or the more recent appointment of Ricardo Tisci to head its creation, Burberry has come a long way and has seen a wide range of milestones.
The story of the house of Burberry began in 1856, when a young man of 21, Thomas Burberry, decided to open a small clothing shop in the English county of Hampshire. Little by little, Burberry's renown extended well beyond the borders of England. At the same time, Thomas Burberry no longer limited himself to tailoring. He also designed accessories, then fragrances. Today, Burberry fragrances are numerous, and the collection is enriched, in 2021, by a brand new addition. Intended for men, Hero by Burberry depicts the portrait of a multiple personality, at once elegant and sexy, while remaining very contemporary. Here is our review of this fragrance.

Hero by Burberry, the portrait of a modern man depicted with simplicity
Hero by Burberry carries within it the full DNA of the English brand. It is a fragrance that is always very chic. However, it does not tip over into an excess of elegance. It reveals to us the best of the man who wears it with simplicity and authenticity. Moreover, the man who wears this composition is multiple: he possesses an exotic, urban elegance. He also knows how to be generous yet sexy, or preppy, while being a touch of a bad boy. Hero by Burberry seems to hold within it all the diversity of today's England. Its reach is undeniably universal. Yet its simplicity is unmistakable. Hero by Burberry does not indulge in embellishment. It goes to the essential and above all aims to be very authentic.
Hero by Burberry, an explosion of scents
Hero by Burberry is essentially dominated by four main ingredients. Always with restraint, it prefers not to burden itself with a multitude of raw materials. Yet its elements are so well chosen that it manages, in record time, to give rise within us to an explosion of sensations. From its top notes onward, Hero by Burberry plays on contrasts. It first relies on the freshness of bergamot, a highly refreshing and zesty citrus, particularly prized by perfumers. Yet this blends with black pepper, far more spicy and warm. This peppery facet is then carried forward by juniper, wonderfully bridging the gap to its woody base notes. For greater persistence, virility and charisma, Hero by Burberry ends with a distinguished touch of cedar.
An authentic, timeless bottle
Hero by Burberry comes in a sober, minimalist glass bottle. Reflecting the scent it holds and the message it conveys, Hero by Burberry knows how to remain understated without lacking in class or elegance. Its case takes the shape of a trapeze, which clearly sets it apart from other perfume bottles. Its transparent glass faces an opaque black cap. Its sharp, clean edges are softened by a few rounded curves at its top. Undeniably, with Hero by Burberry, everything is balance and authenticity.
