What does Viking smell like?

It opens bright with orange, Sicilian lemon and Calabrian bergamot, cooled by pink pepper and peppermint. In the heart, jasmine, Bulgarian rose and lavender add a soft floral layer while clove and pimento keep the spice present. White musk, Haitian vetiver and cedarwood dry it down into a woody, dry base.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, with winter trailing behind. It leans towards leisure, daytime and business settings, and reads as masculine and classic. Gutteridge Vasame and Xerjoff Nio have a close profile.
