Our Verdict - Dark Door Sport EDP

This budget-friendly clone of Dior Homme Sport 2021 is a decent scent, but its weak performance means you'll be reapplying often. Perfect for those who want the scent profile without the designer price tag, though some find it a bit

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.
