Viking is fearless fire — crisp, bold, and unrelenting. It’s more than a fragrance; It’s a charge forward — blazing citrus, hot spices, and rugged woods forged
for the modern warrior.
With a burst of lemon, pink pepper, and vetiver, it carves a sharp trail — fiery yet fresh, powerful yet refined. Viking doesn’t follow — it leads, with the spirit of conquest and the calm of control.
For best results hold the perfume 3-6 inches away from skin. Lightly spray fragrance on pulse points including neck, chest, and wrists. Avoid spraying it very close to the clothes as it may leave oil stains because of high oil content.

This is Viking by EM5 is a masterfully crafted fragrance that captures the bold spirit of Creed Viking while delivering its own refined identity. The opening feels vibrant and exhilarating, where pink pepper, peppermint, bergamot, lemon, absinthe, and orange are seamlessly wrapped in a crisp aromatic freshness layered with a lively citrus-spicy-green character. As the fragrance evolves, the heart introduces lavender, Bulgarian rose, clove, allspice, orris root, and jasmine, beautifully wrapped in a smooth blend of soft spice, floral elegance, and subtle woody depth, creating a sophisticated and well-balanced core. The dry-down is rich and comforting, with vetiver, cedar, white musk, and tonka bean forming a warm, musky trail that lingers gracefully on the skin.Performance is exceptional, offering all-day longevity with strong projection and a noticeable yet refined sillage. Perfect for daytime wear across spring, summer, and mild winters, EM5 Viking stands out as a confident, premium, and highly versatile fragrance.EM5 as a brand truly impresses with its consistent product quality and attention to detail in crafting fragrances that feel luxurious yet accessible. Their packaging is clean, secure, and professional, reflecting a premium experience. Delivery and service are reliable and prompt, making the overall purchase journey smooth and satisfying. Most importantly, EM5 delivers excellent value for money, offering high-quality inspirations that perform beyond expectations.

The perfume just arrived maybe that's why the notes are all mixed up I will have to let it settle for a week then I can enjoy it properly, but form the initial impression it smells very nice and I am sure it will be even better after settling for a few days , anyways next on the list is Tuxedo !!!

If you love masculine scents (terre de hermes, sauvage parfum with some spiciness and green notes) just go for it, it's air and barbershoppy fragrance, spices are not overpowering and it's uniquely refreshing and a decent performer (5hr) when applied on clothes.value for manoy at this price

Both the perfumes are great. There scent structure and smell are very good. But I am disappointed at only two things projection and longevity. Yeah I know that I have to macerate it for some weeks. The price are good but the performance is not. I used it today and went to the market and literally after 40 mins there is nothing not even a lingering smell near my nose. Please try to improve that and your product will be bomb. Btw I am also saving some pocket money for buying your private blends. I think ill buy Sundarban.I know you'll say its not a beast projecting but still it should have some longevity it literally last only for 40 mins. Please EM5 improve your projection and longevity so I can buy more from you 🙏. Thank you 😊

"I recently purchased 'Viking Eau De Parfum' from EM5, and I am absolutely thrilled with it! This fragrance has a seriously bold and mature scent profile that is unmistakably masculine. It starts with a wonderful spice-forward kick and settles into a classic chypre composition that is both complex and long-lasting. What I love most is the incredible barbershop vibe. It's clean, traditional, yet incredibly refined. If you're familiar with other high-end, classic 'Viking' style scents and are looking for an excellent take, this is it. The quality and performance for the price point are fantastic. The way this scent projects and develops in monsoon weather is perfect. The spices cut through the humidity beautifully. If you appreciate a confident, mature, and traditional men's fragrance, I highly recommend 'Viking' by EM5 . Definitely a five-star scent!"

To be honest, this is my second fresh fragrance—I’ve always leaned towards oud and darker profiles, but now I’m exploring something new. I haven’t smelled Vikings by Creed, but that doesn’t matter because I absolutely love how this one is crafted. The notes feel beautifully balanced and well-blended. I really wish you guys offered a 100ml version and also introduced some exclusive editions with more premium-looking bottles. I’ve tried other brands as well, but EM5’s quality truly stands out top notch. This is genuinely a beautiful creation.

Great perfume in this budget. It has become my signature
Priyanshu C. 5/5 Verified
It's a old-school barbershop masculine fragrance. Suitable throughout the year but best for mild summers as this has spicy notes. But it's a blind buy for men above 25 years.
Gagandeep S. 5/5
Clean and fresh fragrance. You can use this anytime of the day. Smells best when used just after the shower.
Ravikiran J. 5/5 Verified
I love the perfume!! It has an amazing smell which resembles 'Viking' by Creed accurately. It has a Aromatic woody and fruity/citrus fragrance which is exactly what I was looking for. It has captured the true Barber Shop essence within it :)
Kunal S. 5/5
Smells nice and gets that aura created and people will notice and ask you what you wearing. Lasting is only couple of hours.
Avinash S. 4/5
A good one to go with for all season. Really a refreshing kind of smell. The perfume feels premium once it settles down in around 5-7 mins. Personally loved it cause it smells similar to old spice after shave as well. Lasting and sillage is moderate Packaging and atomizer is great.
Tanmay M. 4/5
Smells almost the same as Viking . The drydown is perfect, Woody and masculine. Hope they make other creed clones as well . Must try
Dr T. 5/5
Very high quality frag...quite close to Viking by creed highly recommended
Viren A. 5/5
I’m genuinely impressed with its overall performance. The projection is excellent — it easily gets noticed without being overpowering. One of the best things about it is its long-lasting performance; it stays on the skin for hours and continues to evolve beautifully throughout the day. What I enjoy the most is the dry down. As the fragrance settles, the notes become smoother, richer, and more addictive. The blend feels well-balanced and sophisticated, making it very pleasant to wear. The notes in the dry down are definitely the highlight for me and give the perfume a unique character. Overall, it’s a fragrance that performs really well and leaves a memorable impression. Definitely worth it if you enjoy strong projection, good longevity, and a beautiful dry-down experience.

The scent profile is amazing it's spicy and lasting is around 4 hours in high heat but will do much better in colder weather. Amazing masculine fragrance
Jatin D. 5/5 Verified
Packaging is amazing and I even got a complimentary decant for another good fragrance. I'm writing this review right after smelling the fragrance which i received just now and I think that I won't go to a conclusion just yet. I will give these fragrances some time to mature and love them over the time.
Divyansh G. 4/5 Verified
Aromatic and spicy opening and drydown is typical barbershop fragrance. Hint of clove all along.
Shekhar B. 4/5 Verified
Scent profile is a banger but longevity is poor, not at all long lasting. Kindly provide a good formulation so that it can beat the only downside it has.
Sankha D. 4/5 Verified
At first it seemed like rajnigandha But after 4-5 days not it is growing on me. If you want good qwality barber shop fragrance in budget this one could be one for you.
