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 budget clone is a bold, divisive beast. Many find it a superb dupe for PDM Carlisle or Exclusif Tabac after a harsh opening, but others are put off by a 'used ash tray' vibe and nuclear intensity. Definitely not a blind buy.

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 exceptional longevity and strong sillage, coupled with its intense and rich tobacco and oud accords, make it too overwhelming for an office setting. It's much better suited for evening dates or formal events where its character can shine without dominating the room.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Warm Spicy, Woody, Tobacco accords and Patchouli, Guaiac Wood notes
