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.

This is wonderful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the elixir so much better than the regular perfume. I didn’t realize how much more intense the elixer is. The aroma is more robust. And it really does last all day. I really enjoyed the regular hero, but this one took it to the next level. Very grateful for this.

Disappointing Elixir That Falls Short
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to originally receive this fragrance. Upon arrival, I was met only by disappointment. The fragrance is heavy on the sweet and booze smell. For the price that Burberry is charging, you can buy many other great fragrances. It’s strong, there’s no doubt about that, but the fragrance smells cheap. I cannot recommend this fragrance. Buy the original instead.

If you’re looking for a sweet woody scent for a ni
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first impression of this cologne is that it looks very fancy and well designed. It has a sweet and woody scent with makes it feel warm. You only need one spray to get you through an afternoon or night which will make your bottle last longer! recommend it for date nights or dim settings.

Bold and Masculine Fragrance
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy this Burberry scent. I was excited to try this one out. I love the sleek tapered bottle design with the magnetic top cap. The packaging looks and feels clean and luxurious. The atomizer works really nicely as well, it gives out a nice even healthy mist. The scent is bold & masculine. Very woody with strong amber, leather, and hints of vanilla notes. Unlike most scents for me, the dry down on my skin smells exactly the same as the initial spray. Very earthy, woody, & warm. This gives me date night evening vibes. It last around 4-5 hours on my skin and a little longer on my clothes. It’s not a stand out scent for me but it does smell nice. Good addition if you’re looking for a warm amber fragrance.

Smells amazing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Burberry Hero Elixir de Parfum is truly incredible. It is one of the best perfumes I've tried in a long time. The fragrance is masculine and warm, featuring notes of vanilla, cedarwood, and leather. The scent is very pleasant, long-lasting, and unique. I receive compliments every time I wear it. This morning, my 20-year-old daughter asked about it and mentioned that she really liked it. Burberry Hero Elixir is perfect for any age and any occasion. It comes in a beautiful brown bottle and would make a great gift for any man.

Great but not for me
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked it but unfortunately I didn’t super love it. It felt heavier than most of the fragrances that I’m used to and that I enjoy. It just was a little too much for me
