Norse Cologne For Men - 0618

It was my first time ordering anything from perfume parlour and I was amazed by amount of perfumes and presentation for each one of them. I decided to buy a roll on, since I was after something small and easy to apply on the go, and it didn't disappoint.

Norse Cologne (0618) – Extrait ★★★★★
Worth stressing up front: this is the dupe of Viking Cologne, not the original Viking, which I also own. They're genuinely different fragrances and I'd hate anyone to order this expecting the older one. Where Viking proper is that peppery, slightly sharp aromatic, the Cologne version is brighter, smoother and far more wearable.
It opens exactly where you'd hope — a big, juicy mandarin and lemon burst lifted by bergamot, with pink pepper giving it just enough bite to stop it smelling like a shower gel. Give it fifteen minutes and the heart takes over: lavender and geranium doing the classic barbershop thing, with sage and rosemary keeping it herbal and clean, and a whisper of nutmeg warmth underneath. The dry-down is where it earns its money for me — vetiver and cedar with sandalwood softening the edges, and just enough olibanum and patchouli to give it a slightly resinous, grown-up finish rather than fading into generic freshness.
I went for the extrait after reading a good write-up elsewhere, and I'd recommend doing the same. Two sprays gets you a solid arm's-length projection for the first couple of hours and then it settles into a comfortable skin scent that I can still catch on my collar at the end of the day. Longevity is genuinely respectable — I'm getting 7–8 hours easily, longer on clothing. The citrus opening does burn off faster than the rest, as you'd expect, but the aromatic heart holds up well.
It's an easy wear for spring and summer, office-safe, and smart enough for an evening out. The only mild criticism is that the opening is so good you'll wish it lasted longer — but that's true of the designer original too.
At £12 for 15ml and £20 for 30ml, it's a fraction of the price of the real thing and, to my nose, close enough that I've no intention of buying the original. Very happy with it, and I'll be repurchasing in the 60ml.

Love this. Not too complicated or challenging. Could wear this everyday. Not for special occasions, but perfect to throw on every morning and go about my day. Lasts a good 6 or 7 hours in the air.

I had Norse and love it so tried the Cologne version. Freshens things up nicely and is a solid scent for men.

This is almost the same it's hard to notice any difference

My son loves this one , It’s quite a traditional fresh masculine fragrance , most suitable for summer .

Love it, lasts for hours, will buy again, Great compliments

Almost perfect for me. Spillage is great

Option Review:3ml Roll On
I’d say it’s about 85-90% close to the OG.
The og is deeper and darker PPs version is sweeter and opening is different on PP. The more it drys down the closer it gets to the og. I wouldn’t buy this one again.

Option Review:50ml Spray
This is an unbelievable clone. Compared side by side with viking cologne I'd say norse cologne is 98-99% accurate and smells stronger off the skin than viking cologne
