What do reviewers say about Viking and Old Spice Original?
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
A fragrance that smells like Sunday morning, a fresh razor, and a drawer of white undershirts. It's been doing this since 1938. The warm spice heart rewards the patient.Old Spice Original
