Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Challenge Eau de Parfum
This one's a mixed bag, offering an initial burst of zest that divides opinion. Some celebrate its clean, fresh simplicity, while others are less impressed by its fleeting nature and generic scent profile. It's a 'your mileage may vary' situation, so try before you buy.
Statement
Our Verdict - Oslo Eau de Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Creed Viking (2017) - bergamot, rose and vetiver translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Its fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for casual and sports wear, especially in warmer weather, with many reviews noting it's perfect post-shower or for the gym. However, its often-criticised poor longevity and subtle sillage make it less ideal for formal events or dates where more presence is desired.
