The review

On paper, Scarlet Warrior Cologne is a reasonable bet if you want Viking for less.

The Dua Brand 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 $176 per 100ml it costs 65% less than Viking — the 13th 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.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand 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

The original opens on Calabrian Bergamot, sicilian lemon and pink pepper, turns to peppercorn, Bulgarian Rose and peppermint, and settles into indian sandalwood, Haitian Vetiver and indian patchouli. That is the brief Scarlet Warrior Cologne is working from.

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, Scarlet Warrior Cologne is number 14 on price per 100ml.
