Fragrance Notes
Bois de cèdre
CypriolHero
Only an established wearer needs Burberry Hero Parfum Refill 200ml, because this is 200ml of a two material composition at parfum strength, which is a great deal of a very particular smell.
That smell is cedarwood and cypriol and nothing else. The cedarwood is dry, fine and faintly peppery, reading as clean timber rather than as anything rich, and it gives the scent its structure. The cypriol is the unusual half: a smoky, earthy root with a tarry bitterness and a dry grassy edge, dark in a way that very few mainstream masculine scents attempt. Short compositions at high concentration behave in a particular way. They do not develop so much as settle, losing volume while keeping their shape, so the scent you have after six hours is a quieter version of the scent you had after six minutes. That makes it easy to wear habitually and a poor choice if you like watching a perfume change.
Practical notes for a refill this size: pour slowly over a sink, keep it upright, store it away from radiators and windows, and transfer a little into a small atomiser rather than carrying the big bottle. At one or two sprays a day this will last the better part of two years, so buy it because you have settled on the smell rather than because the price per millilitre looks attractive. It rewards restraint more than almost anything else in the line. The company behind it was set up in 1856 and is among Britain's best known luxury fashion houses, built on coats and on the trench. Its perfumes have never been made in house but come instead from licensed manufacturers, and Coty has held that licence since 2017.
