Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Antidote EDP
This discontinued gem divides opinion yet commands cult status for its unique, multi-layered complexity. Antidote is either an intoxicating masterpiece or an unwearable scrubber, but rarely anything in between. Track it down for a sniff, if you dare.

Our Verdict - Abraaj Viking EDP
This is a brilliantly crafted, fresh-spicy scent that punches well above its weight class. A bit of a performance lottery, with some experiencing fleeting joy while others get Creed-level longevity - either way, the scent profile is universally adored.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate projection and complex, warm spicy nature make it an excellent choice for dates or formal events where it can be appreciated up close. While some find it office-appropriate, its depth and character might be a bit much for a typical workday.

Abraaj Viking

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal
