What do reviewers say about Proxima and Viking?
This is the fragrance for someone who's watched first-contact films and thought: yes, but what would it smell like? The aldehydic lift keeps everything feeling airy and otherworldly.Proxima
Not every masculine EDP justifies its price tag. Viking does. The mint and pink pepper opening hits like a slap, and the vetiver drydown stays classy for hours.Viking
