Scentrack: Tina Turner – We Don’t Need Another Hero
 |
| Source: Burberry |
I was excited when Burberry announced the release of the new masculine line. Although a little bit concerned because of the name – Hero. Unfortunately, my concerns were right. Burberry Hero is just another 2020’s fragrance. Inoffensive, easy to wear, and politically correct male fragrance. Still, possesses some pale interesting woody nuances that Aurelien Guichard replayed from his earlier creations like This is Him by Zadig & Voltaire or Bois Noir by Robert Piguet. Hero starts with, nowadays very popular bergamot, some metallic undertones and a nice creamy touch that morphs into the full-blooded cedar heart. The cedar accord is really made of fresh Virginian variety and a sweeter Atlas one. The composition is extremely contemporary woody, yet not overly synthetic. It has some nice woody and masculine undertones which I can associate with the classic Burberry brand. However, too weak, and bland. Hero is not a bad composition. It smells good, it is versatile and easy to wear. Not so heroic, but a perfect ticket for newcomers to enter the serious niche woody game. Still, do we need another Hero? No Burberry, we don’t need it.
