A very nice fragrance. Viking is not in the least reminiscent of any Royal Copenhagen products but it holds its own if taken for what it’s worth.
At first whiff it reminds me of Unpredictable Homme, an EDP made in France but it’s not in Fragrantica’s database. Though, side-by-side, they are only distant cousins – olfactorily speaking.

If you’re reading this, it’s most likely that you’re into obscure and unique fragrances. This doesn’t get mentioned anywhere mostly because it has been discontinued for so long. However, it truly is a gem. I’ve dubbed this “CK Eternity Extreme” because it reminds me of the original Eternity (which I like), but with a kick of pepper and tartness of berries. Very masculine, versatile and has average performance. I enjoy this one very much and the bottle is cool as heck. Obviously, its hard to test this one, but definitely blind buy worthy if you collect rare masculine fragrances and/or a fan of 90’s scents.
Grade: B+

I’ve had this for awhile but waited till I was a full third thru the bottle before posting a review.
I’m not sure I can really add much to the two rave reviews below mine. They are both spot on. Viking is classic, yet modern. An absolute delight. If this were in a Creed bottle, with a Creed monicure, it would be waited on and exhaulted.
Viking . . .a treasure waiting on an island of misfits . . .

I agree with the review below….this cologne is pure brilliance.
Unfortunately (or fortunately for the few who know about it) it kind of got lost in the shuffle.
It opens very strongly, with a fantastic blast of juniper berry, balsam fir and oak moss, proudly announcing a retro vibe, but quickly settles into a subtle, one-of-a-kind and very timeless scent. The heart of this fragrance lasted a good 8 hours for me, and it is divine! A superb blend of all the notes in the pyramid above.
The best part of all is that this unique cologne should appeal to the vintage cologne lovers, meaning that it has a wonderful old school vibe, but, it also feels very contemporary, almost niche-like and should appeal to the modern cologne lovers. (Bond No. 9 would be lucky & proud to create something like this)
I personally own over 300 colognes in my wardrobe, and I have never smelled anything quite like this before.
The first day of wearing this I received several compliments. (and every time I’ve worn it since) It’s truly a unique but extremely appealing fragrance.
Update:
After several wearings, the best way I can remotely describe this fragrance is to say, after the powerful opening settles, imagine a perfect blending of “YSLs Rive Gauche” and Hugo Boss’ “Baldessarini.” (but still remaining very original)
Hopefully that will give you a vague idea of what it smells like.

This brilliant little fougere barely was noticed on the market. I guess it was caught in the perfumageddon of 2000. What a shame! It was totally modern and outside of the trend of sweet aqautics. For the few of us who grabbed a bottle, it is a rare treasure! Pure James Bond…
It opens loudly and spicily. Almost sweet-probably the fruit-orange and pineapple notes that settle down in about an hour. Then you get a walk though a northern pine forest that is brisk and refreshing. It all plays around this fantastic jasmine at the base that stays around for 9 hours or so. Pure quality.
Vikings have a reputation for plundering. This sex bomb is a “cart blanche” to do just that.
