Which Should You Buy?
Viking Cologne is a fresh, modern take on a classic masculine fougere. While praised for its invigorating citrus opening and sophisticated barber shop dry down, its performance can be polarising, with some experiencing great longevity while others are left wanting more.
Seven Seas Cologne chases Creed Viking Cologne's crisp citrus-and-herb energy. The mandarin and pink pepper opening lands close, but the aromatic heart and cedar-sandalwood base fade quicker and read thinner than the original's polished, longer-wearing composition.
