Burberry Hero Gift Set for Men | 50ml EDT & Shower Gel

The Burberry Hero gift set pairs the 50ml Hero Eau de Toilette with a 75ml shower gel in the same Hero scent, presented in Burberry’s premium gift packaging. It is a 2-piece introduction to one of Burberry’s more recent and better-received masculines — the shower gel allows the scent to be layered from the start of the grooming routine, with the EDT applied on top for full concentration and longevity. Hero is a 2021 woody fresh EDT by Serge Majoullier for Givaudan, released as Burberry’s significant new masculine launch. The scent’s British heritage is woven into the concept — the campaign imagery references the English countryside and natural landscape as the backdrop for a clean, grounded woody fragrance.

The Scent

Hero opens with bergamot and black pepper — a clean, citrusy and lightly spiced opening that is fresh without being sharp. The heart is cedar and juniper: Virginia cedarwood provides a clean, dry woody backbone, and juniper berry adds a resinous, slightly gin-like freshness to the mid-section. The base is vetiver and ambrette. Vetiver provides the smoky, earthy grounding; ambrette — derived from the seeds of musk mallow (Abelmoschus moschatus) and one of the principal natural musks used in modern perfumery as an alternative to animal-derived musks — gives Hero its clean, slightly skin-like, faintly floral-musky finish. Ambrette is the note that gives the fragrance its distinctive, dry-down character and the longevity that EDT concentrations can sometimes lack.

What the Gift Set Adds

The 75ml shower gel carries the Hero scent at a lower concentration for use in the shower before applying the EDT. Layering a matching shower gel under a fragrance is a standard technique for improving the longevity and projection of an EDT — the EDT concentration is lighter than EDP, and a scented base layer from the shower gel helps it perform better on skin throughout the day. The gift set is a more complete and considered gift option than the standalone 50ml EDT bottle.

Questions Customers Ask

What’s included in the Burberry Hero gift set?
A 50ml Burberry Hero Eau de Toilette spray and a 75ml shower gel in the Hero scent, presented in Burberry’s premium gift packaging.

Is this an EDT or EDP?
This gift set contains the Eau de Toilette — a lighter concentration than Eau de Parfum, better suited to daytime and everyday wear. Burberry Hero is also available as an EDP for those who prefer a richer, longer-lasting version of the same scent.

What is ambrette in the base?
Ambrette is a natural musk derived from the seeds of musk mallow (Abelmoschus moschatus). It is widely used in contemporary perfumery as a clean, sustainable alternative to animal-derived musks such as civet or castoreum. In Hero it provides a faintly floral, skin-like musk character in the dry-down — clean and intimate rather than heavy or powdery. It is one of the more refined base ingredients in the composition and contributes meaningfully to the fragrance’s longevity and dry-down character.

Is the set ready to give as a gift?
Yes — the two pieces are presented in Burberry’s premium gift packaging, making it a complete, ready-to-give gift for birthdays, Father’s Day, Christmas and other occasions.
