Viking

Spice appears twice here, bright at the opening and warm further down, over cedar, vetiver and musk. Lavender holds its own line, and the floral heart works as texture rather than as a stated theme.

Mefisto

Lemon, grapefruit and bergamot cut with lavender, over an orris-and-rose heart and a base of amber, cedar and sandalwood. The name points somewhere dark; the build is clean and soapy.
