The story behind the bottle.
Hero Parfum Intense by Burberry, crafted by Aurélien Guichard and launched in 2025, is a Woody Spicy fragrance that captures the essence of modern sophistication. This scent opens with a bold top note of black pepper, invigorating the senses and creating an immediate impact. The heart of leather adds depth and warmth, while the base note of cedarwood provides a rich, smoky backdrop. Hero Parfum Intense is characterized by its powerful composition, featuring a trio of cedarwood oils that heighten its strength and complexity.
Given its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, Hero Parfum Intense requires only one or two sprays. The black pepper top note is fleeting, so aim for close-to-skin application to ensure that the warm leather and cedarwood base notes come through clearly throughout the day.
