The shared cedarwood core
Both versions put cedarwood at the center, so the most useful question is what surrounds that wood rather than whether one is simply stronger.
How the EDT opens up
Juniper, black pepper and bergamot give the EDT brighter aromatic, spicy and citrus reference points around the cedarwood core.
How the Parfum changes direction
Hero Parfum highlights amyris and cypriol with cedarwood. That moves the published profile toward a drier, earthier woody character.
Which feels fresher?
The EDT is the fresher direction on paper because juniper and bergamot are part of its highlighted note set. Parfum is described in a drier, earthier way.
Does Parfum last longer?
A concentration label does not establish the same result for every wearer. Compare equal application amounts in similar conditions.
Bottom line
Choose Hero EDT for brighter aromatic cedar with juniper, pepper and bergamot. Choose Hero Parfum for drier, earthier cedar with amyris and cypriol.
