The review
Arthur scores 7.1 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Viking Cologne.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Viking Cologne's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 70% less than Viking Cologne — the cheapest of 6 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.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength HK Perfumes 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 Cologne is pink pepper, bergamot and lemon at first, mint, lavender and rosemary at its heart and sandalwood, vetiver and ambergris at the end. HK Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top

Minty lavender and citrus over soft woods, a breezier take on Viking.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
