What do reviewers say about No. 007 and Viking?

If you're going to wear a fragrance named after the world's most famous secret agent, it had better commit. No. 007 does. The carnation-rosemary heart is bold enough to make a statement.No. 007

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
