What does Hero Elixir de Parfum smell like?

Leather, vanilla and tonka bean make up the core of the scent, while cedarwood gives that sweetness a dry, woody frame. The spicy and smoky accords don't stay in the background; they give it a rough edge. The overall impression is warm, dense and slightly synthetic.

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong, with most voters scoring them high. The number of votes is small, so this is only a first impression. It is positioned as a men's fragrance. Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Elixir and Burberry Hero Parfum Intense have a close profile.
