Where people agree
“I was curious and found a clone called Abraaj Viking and bought a bottle for $10 less then the travel spray of Creed. I tried nothing out side by side. I couldn't believe how close they were. I'm not an expert, but it was pretty much 90-95%”
reddit post ↗“I own this one also, definietly a good clone of it. Great longevity and sillage”
reddit ↗“The opening is stronger and pretty wild compared to creed but this is super close. 95+ percent easily. Lasts longer than creed too.”
reddit ↗“I own this and I own Viking, pretty close I'll say, like OP says around 90% close, for the price you getting this compared to the Creed I'll say this is worth getting.”
reddit ↗“I only have two clones, Abraaj Viking, which is a high-quality one, and Chatler Victorious, which is the cheapest one you can find. Both need maceration to perform properly. With Abraaj you get initially 6 hours of performance, after matura”

Where people disagree
“You can definitely find similarities but in my opinion it's not really a close clone. Perhaps after a bit of masturbation it will get better. As you can see, I ended up buying the OG Creed bottle since the clone was too far off for me.”

- Reddit users generally recognize Montagne L'Epice de Mer as an alternative to Creed Viking, with some rating it as the closest option available.
- Reviewers describe it as a strong, ultra-masculine scent featuring prominent minty aftershave and absinthe notes.
- While praised as wearable and full-bottle worthy by fans, its potent absinthe note may remind some wearers of floor polish.
“I got a sample of Montagne's clone L'epice de Mer, it's strong stuff and it has that absinthe note so I wouldn't blame anyone for finding it like floor polish but I still found it to be a really fresh ultra-masculine fragrance”
reddit ↗“L'Epice de Mer (Creed Viking) - Super masculine minty aftershave with absinthe, most wearable of the bunch and the one I'd buy a full bottle of”
reddit ↗“Viking = L’epice de Mer”
reddit ↗“👍 this is the closest.”
reddit ↗“IMO their Creed Viking clone L'Epice de Mer is fantastic”
