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.
Norse follows Creed Viking Cologne's fresh aromatic-woody fougere. The bright citrus opening and herbal-woody heart land close to the brief, but as a budget dupe it wears lighter and flatter, with the refined vetiver drydown softened.
