Our Verdict - Viking Cologne

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.
