Karan Johar, the maestro behind the glossy sets of our favourite films and the ever-popular Koffee With Karan, has always been a trendsetter. From his newest line of Pout lipsticks to everything else he wears, talks about, or features in his films – the trendsetter in him has always had the attention of the world for a reason.
In a recent interview with GQ India, the director revealed his go-to perfume – a coveted scent that is, as usual, out of budget for the general public. So, here’s a cheeky dive into affordable dupes that bring you a whiff of Karan’s choice without draining your wallet.
What Does Creed Viking Smell Like?
Creed Viking “celebrates the essence of a fearless and fiery spirit.” Launched in 2017, this award-winning fragrance combines “Fresh citrus notes of Calabrian bergamot and Sicilian lemon with pink peppercorn, Bulgarian rose and peppermint.” It also has a woody base with notes of Indian Sandalwood and Haitian vetiver.
Dupes For Creed Viking
The EM5™ Viking Perfume offers an aromatic citrus-woody perfume that mirrors Creed’s Viking. With top notes of pink pepper and bergamot and a robust heart of Bulgarian rose and lavender, it’s a cocktail of scents for the budget-conscious.
The Engage One Soul Gender-Free Perfume is a gender-free perfume inspired by open skies and versatility. Its blend of citrus and spicy notes with amber and woods creates the quintessential scent suitable for any occasion.
Kiehl’s Musk Eau de Toilette offers a unique take with its creamy citrus beginning, transitioning into a floral heart, and finally settling into a warm, musky finish. It’s an ideal choice for those who prefer a subtler, yet distinctive scent that lingers throughout the day.
This Amber EDT from Marks & Spencer is a harmonious blend of amber and citrus with a spicy twist. Its long-lasting nature ensures you carry an air of sophistication around, much like Karan Johar’s impeccable choice. The hints of sandalwood add a layer of depth to this delightful fragrance.
The 4711 Acqua Colonia Pink Pepper & Grapefruit Eau De Cologne is another refreshing choice for daily wear. Its invigorating blend of grapefruit and pink pepper creates a lively scent that’s perfect for those who appreciate a zestier fragrance to kickstart their day.
