The review
Strong contender. That is where L'Epice de Mer lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Viking.
Montagne Parfums lists 7 of the 10 notes in Viking's pyramid — calabrian bergamot, sicilian lemon, pink pepper, bulgarian rose and indian sandalwood and more. What it does not list: peppercorn, peppermint and lavandin absolute; and it adds pimento berries, mint and orris of its own.
Strength: parfum, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
