Try them together

Three pairings

The three highest pair scores among our checked bottles. Each score has a reason. Smell is personal; these rules are a starting point.

  1. Versace

    The sweet tonka bean in Eros Najim smooths the sharp lavender of Viking Cologne, with vetiver in both.

    Spray Eros Najim first (2 sprays, chest, under your shirt), let it settle a minute, then Viking Cologne on top (4 sprays, neck, wrists and a mist on your shirt).

  2. Arabiyat Prestige

    Ramad Earthy's vanilla turns Viking Cologne's lavender warm and soft, and both carry vetiver.

    Spray Ramad Earthy first (2 sprays, chest, under your shirt), let it settle a minute, then Viking Cologne on top (4 sprays, neck, wrists and a mist on your shirt).

  3. Carolina Herrera

    The sweet tonka bean in Bad Boy Extreme smooths the sharp lavender of Viking Cologne, tied by shared sage.

    Spray Bad Boy Extreme first (2 sprays, chest, under your shirt), let it settle a minute, then Viking Cologne on top (4 sprays, neck, wrists and a mist on your shirt).
