FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Venture scores 6.8 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Viking.

AromaPassions sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Viking's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $69 per 100ml it costs 86% less than Viking — the 7th cheapest of 14 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength AromaPassions publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Creed Viking is Calabrian Bergamot, sicilian lemon and pink pepper at first, peppercorn, Bulgarian Rose and peppermint at its heart and indian sandalwood, Haitian Vetiver and indian patchouli at the end. AromaPassions set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • Calabrian Bergamot
  • sicilian lemon
  • pink pepper

Heart

  • peppercorn
  • Bulgarian Rose
  • peppermint

Base

  • indian sandalwood
  • Haitian Vetiver
  • indian patchouli
For the one who charges against the grain, wearing a bold, peppery-mint spiciness that feels rugged, aromatic, and unmistakably daring.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 17 twins of Creed Viking we can price, Venture is number 7 on price per 100ml.
