Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Frankincense and Myrrh Cologne

This one's a bit of a chameleon, often defying expectations set by its name. Some adore its fresh, aromatic take on traditional resins, while others find it too subtle or not resinous enough. It's a love-it-or-leave-it kind of scent, steeped in old-school charm.

Statement

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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Frankincense and Myrrh Cologne

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its moderate sillage and subtle nature make it suitable for office wear, though its classic, aromatic character might lean informal for some. It's versatile for casual use, but not quite bold or long-lasting enough for a statement date fragrance or truly formal events. It's definitely not a sport scent.

Viking Cologne

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual Sport

Also Works:

Formal

Its fresh and clean aromatic profile makes it highly versatile, suitable for daily wear, including the office, without being overpowering. The energetic citrus and herbal accords also lend themselves well to casual and even sporty settings, though its more restrained performance on some wearers might limit its impact for formal evenings.
