Which Should You Buy?
Hero is a divisive beast: one minute it's a breathtaking, nuanced oriental, the next a bland, disappointing dud. Expectations are clearly high given the price, but it's hit or miss whether you'll find your own epic journey here.
This one's a proper head-scratcher; a divisive beast if ever there was one. Expect a rich, boozy, oriental spicy vibe, but don't be surprised if your nose picks up something entirely different from one sniff to the next. Not for the faint of heart, or those who can't commit to a scent.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and long-lasting, rich accords make it too dominant for an office setting, but perfect for making a statement at formal events or on a date. It's a bit much for casual daytime wear due to its depth and intensity.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent, long-lasting nature and strong sillage, coupled with its rich, warm spicy character, make it less suitable for an office environment. This scent truly shines on a date or for formal events, where its luxurious warmth can be fully appreciated without overwhelming the space. It can be worn casually, but its intensity might be a bit much for everyday errands.
