What does Hero (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Most voters recommend it for autumn and winter, while summer gets only a small share. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Votes spread almost evenly across leisure, evening, daily wear, nights out and business. About half of voters read it as masculine, followed by modern.

The scent has a flat structure and carries three cedars together: Virginia cedar, Himalayan cedar and Atlas cedar. Pine needle adds freshness, benzoin a touch of sweetness, and frankincense a resinous depth. Fresh and sweet accords meet spicy, woody and resinous ones. Olive Spa Pluto and Tom Ford Bois Pacifique have a close profile.
