Details & care
What it is: A fragrance that's an even more intense addition to the Hero family, balancing softness and power.
Fragrance story: Honoring the hero within, the fragrance for men celebrates the strength and resilience that come from vulnerability and sensitivity. It captures the spirit of a man who boldly embraces life and faces challenges with courage and determination. The Burberry scent embodies the duality of masculinity with soft, sweet notes meeting deep, strong accords. It opens with an indulgent, enveloping tonka, followed by the warm softness of vanilla, juxtaposed with robust leather. The harmony is completed by a deep, vibrant trio of cedarwood. The exclusively designed bottle transitions from deep, dark tones to a warm amber hue. The angular shape is an abstract reinterpretation of a horse’s hoof, detailed with the Equestrian Knight Design at the cap. A mix of matte and glossy finishes on the outer box represents the fragrance’s duality and the interplay between strength and softness.

Intense, manly
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Burberry’s Hero Elixir is perfectly crafted to convey masculinity and playfulness thanks to the cedarwood and vanilla notes. This fragrance helps you stand out and be noticed due to it being an Elixir de Parfum, which gives an intense scent with just one spray. It’s perfect for date nights and special occasions. The bottle is minimal and elegant with a nice square shape and black cap. Burberry’s Hero is an excellent choice with great value!

Nice bottle, but the scent feels overly heavy and
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tried this expecting something richer from the Hero line, but it didn’t really deliver. The scent is mostly heavy vanilla and tonka mixed with leather and smoke, which ends up feeling a but muddy rather than well- blended. It’s warm and woody, but lacks character and become somewhat flat after the initial spray. The bottle looks great and feels premium, but the fragrance itself doesn’t stand out enough to make it enjoyable.

Great designer release
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you're looking for a subtle fragrance for the office, you can click away right now. This is a heavy, dark, and damn potent scent.
Performance: The sillage is impressive. One spray and the room belongs to you. The longevity is equally brutal; after 10 hours, the leather still clings to the skin like a second jacket. The scent itself is absolutely top-notch. If you love dark wood-leather combinations, you will get your money's worth here. Yes, the Elixir is more concentrated and the leather is more prominent, but the price jump is too high for me compared to Hero Intense. The flanker itself is quite small at 60ml. But still, it is top-notch Burberry quality. Magnetic cap and great spray distribution.

Very masculine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This smells warm, smooth and a little sweet with some wood and light leather. It's not too strong or harsh, just clean and masculine. It's a solid everyday colonge.
