Based on community consensus, the highest-accuracy dupe for Hero EDT is Iris Wood by Dossier (accuracy 7/10, longevity 6/10). If you prioritize longevity over accuracy, sort the grid above by longevity to see the top performer on that axis.
Every dupe is rated on two independent dimensions: scent accuracy (how closely it matches the original) and longevity (how long it lasts on skin). Scores are aggregated from community consensus on Reddit r/fragrance, r/fragranceclones, and Fragrantica. They are never averaged into a single number — accuracy and longevity are separate decisions.
