Victor Wong – about future plans and snow leopards

The house of Symrise gifted the world with Hero in 2020. A unisex fragrance rooted in the wood family. Its authors — perfumers Pierre-Constantin Guéros, Fanny Grau, Marine Ipert, Leslie Gauthier, Maurice Roucel, Isaac Sinclair, Annick Ménardo, Émilie Coppermann, Carlos Vinals, Nathalie Benareau, Alienor Massenet, Christelle Laprade, Patricia Bilodeau, and Alexandra Carlin. The fragrance is presented as eau de cologne.
Made in France, backed by a long and proud tradition. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A fresh and light fragrance with a concentration of fragrant substances up to 5% according to French standards, giving a feeling of purity and coolness
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The olfactory structure of Hero evolves as a continuous scent journey, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The style of Symrise is recognizable from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de Cologne sets a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
From the group perspective the profile is anchored in Citrus, Fruit, Aromatic and Green. It also reaches into Floral, Wood, Balsamic and Gourmet. At family level the scent maps to Wood.
From the first breath you detect sparkling citrus opening notes: Bergamot, Fig, Mandarin and Peppermint.
When the opening settles you sense Ambrette, Iris, Iso E Super and Rose carrying a velvety rose-iris direction.
The olfactory framework is shaped by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Fruit without random overlap. Additional accords such as Wood, Powdery, Amber and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The gender direction is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
Taken together Hero reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best judged through real development.
