Seven Seas

Seven Seas delivers a crisp, mint-forward opening with bright citrus bergamot and lemon, accented by a spicy pink pepper that adds a clean heat. As it develops, the fragrance transitions into a smooth, barbershop-inspired base with lavender, sandalwood, and patchouli, offering a slightly sweet, soapy freshness that lingers pleasantly into the drydown. The scent evolves from a refreshingly minty and fresh start to a more balanced, woody-spicy projection with moderate sillage. While it shares a conceptual similarity with Creed's Viking, it is more synthetic in its initial profile and lacks the seamless blending of the original. It performs reasonably well—lasting over six hours—and maintains a consistent presence without fading abruptly. The fragrance feels more wearable in spring and summer, but its lightweight nature makes it suitable for daytime use. It stands as a solid, independent scent for those seeking a clean, aromatic, and slightly spicy masculine perfume, especially one that offers better price performance than the original Viking, although it doesn’t match the depth or complexity of Creed’s version.
