Which Should You Buy?
Burberry Hero arrived in 2021 as the brand's modern-masculine reset - pine and frankincense over a three-cedar base, a deliberate move away from the classic check-pattern romanticism into outdoorsy woody territory. EV's No. 74 holds the pine-and-cedar spine but reads sweeter on benzoin than the genuine bottle's drier polish.
Lato Oscuro means 'Dark Side', and it delivers: this is a deep, resinous, aromatic scent unapologetic in its intensity. It's a statement piece, not a crowd-pleaser for the faint of heart, perfect for those who appreciate a truly unique aroma. Prepare for strong opinions.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Pine-and-cedar woody compositions sit best in autumn and cooler weather; the budget interpretation's sweeter benzoin profile pulls slightly cooler-friendly than the original's drier reading.
Occasions
Office and weekend-casual the natural homes - this is the everyday-versatile woody-aromatic profile that suits most daytime settings; date and formal-evening work at higher dosage.
Seasons
Occasions
Given its potent profile of woody, amber, and balsamic accords, Lato Oscuro is too commanding for a typical office setting. It truly shines on dates or formal events where its luxurious depth can be appreciated without overwhelming others.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Amber, Warm Spicy accords and Pine, Benzoin notes
