Nothing new

There is not much to dissect here. The scent starts off expectedly sweet and synthetic, with a warm, spicy-balsamic amyris which even brings small hints of florals. It gradually becomes creamier over time, blending in with dry woodiness from the cedar. However, that creaminess also eventually gifts the scent a very prominent hand cream or lotion vibe, which I'm not a fan of. Cypriol is virtually non-existent in here. What isn't is the boring and well-known amberwood that the fragrance eventually settles for, immediately reminding of so many other designer scents who fell for the same trap (an example: Paradigme more recently). It's very disappointing, particularly because I thought that the Hero EDP DNA had potential, at least in designer terms, and this could've at least given that DNA some more oomph. But instead, Burberry offered a linear and dull sequel which brings nothing new to the table.
