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 enigma. That rhubarb note is a bold move, and it sparks some love-it-or-hate-it reactions. It's got that weirdly addictive quality that keeps you sniffing, even if you can't quite make up your mind.

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
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and limited longevity make it suitable for close-quarters like the office or casual wear without being overwhelming. The unique rhubarb note might be a bit too daring for highly formal settings, where a more conventional scent is often preferred.
