Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Viking Cologne EDC
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.

Our Verdict - Aqua Baci EDT
This one's a solid, understated go-to. It won't shout, but it definitely leaves a clean, sophisticated impression without being stuffy. A safe bet that punches above its weight for everyday elegance.
