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 - Strikeout EDP

Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of K by D & G - a citrus fragrance led by Juniper Berries, Sicilian Lemon, Blood Orange, with aromatic depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

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.

Strikeout

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the citrus, aromatic profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
