Creed Viking Eau De Parfum

Creed Viking Eau de Parfum was launched in 2017, created by master perfumer Olivier Creed as a bold and fiery tribute to masculinity and fearless exploration. Positioned as the house’s first major men’s release since Aventus, Viking captures the indomitable spirit of Norse seafarers and pioneers. It stands out with its powerful aromatic-woody character, offering a fresh yet smoldering composition designed for the modern man who charts his own path.

The opening of Viking is dynamic and bracing, led by a vivid trio of Calabrian bergamot, Sicilian lemon, and La Réunion pink peppercorn. The citrus is crisp, slightly bitter, and deeply invigorating, providing a bracing freshness that’s immediately commanding. The pink pepper adds a dry spiciness that ignites the senses, bridging brightness with heat.

In the heart, a wave of peppermint cools the composition, delivering a unique aromatic contrast. Bulgarian rose adds a subtle floral sophistication, while spicy notes of peppercorn and additional green nuances layer complexity and intrigue. The combination evokes imagery of Nordic winds sweeping through blooming fields—simultaneously sharp, green, and slightly sweet.

The dry-down is rich and warm, grounding the fragrance in Indian sandalwood, Haitian vetiver, and Indian patchouli. Lavandin absolute rounds out the base with an herbal softness, creating an elegant, woody finish with subtle smokiness. The base is refined and masculine, leaving a lasting impression of strength, tradition, and ambition.
