The base is a combination of three cedarwoods – Atlas, Virginian, and Himalayan – to give a moist, woodsy scent at the end of the fragrance.
It’s the Campaign That Made Heads Roll!

Review: Burberry Hero Eau de Parfum
Burberry Hero Eau de Parfum is a refined and enhanced version of the original fragrance. It begins with the crisp, wood-like scent of pine needles and leads into the comforting, smoky characteristic of benzoin and incense.
