Conquer with Bold Nordic Spirit: Creed Viking Sample
Channel fearless adventure with Creed Viking, the powerful aromatic fougère fragrance launched in 2017 by The House of Creed. Inspired by the legendary voyages of Viking explorers, this bold creation by Olivier Creed and Erwin Creed evokes the raw energy of northern seas, icy winds, crackling campfires, and the unyielding strength of Nordic warriors—blending crisp spices, bracing freshness, and warm woods for a modern masculine masterpiece.
Viking opens with an electrifying, spicy-citrus explosion of pink pepper, black pepper, bergamot, and juniper berries—delivering a sharp, invigorating rush that feels like a cold wind across open waters. The heart adds aromatic sophistication through lavender, rose, and clary sage—lending herbal, slightly floral depth with a clean, refined edge. It dries down to a sturdy, tenacious base of sandalwood, cedarwood, vetiver, patchouli, and ambergris—warm, woody, and subtly musky with that signature Creed ambergris tenacity.
Fragrance Notes – A Bold Nordic Voyage
- Top Notes: Pink Pepper, Black Pepper, Bergamot, Juniper Berries Fiery spices and crisp citrus ignite with electrifying freshness.
- Heart Notes: Lavender, Rose, Clary Sage Aromatic herbs and subtle florals add clean, sophisticated depth.
- Base Notes: Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Vetiver, Patchouli, Ambergris Warm woods and musky ambergris linger with powerful refinement.
Frequently hailed as one of Creed’s most masculine and compliment-getting releases, Viking offers bold, spicy-fresh charm with a rugged yet polished edge—often described as a modern, upscale take on classic fougères like Creed Green Irish Tweed or Paco Rabanne Invictus, yet with superior natural quality and depth. Performance is strong: 8–12+ hours longevity (beast mode on clothes and skin for many wearers), strong projection (especially in the first 4–6 hours), and noticeable sillage that fills a room without overwhelming—evolving from peppery-citrus opening to a clean, woody dry-down. Many users report it performs exceptionally well in cooler weather (fall/winter) and performs noticeably better on clothes than skin. Fragrance communities often praise its excellent batch consistency (very few complaints about reformulation or weak batches), high compliment factor (especially from women), and its ability to feel both powerful and approachable. Some compare the dry-down to a cleaner, more refined version of Viking Cologne, but with significantly better performance and depth.

Nice concept, but didn't like it on skin.
First of all, great purchase experience as usual with this site. Color of perfume is correct and I appear to have gotten a sample from a 2017 batch, which is supposed to be the better ones. On paper and smelling directly from the decant, it smells great. Very manly. Minty, spicy, barbershop, unapologetic gentlemen scent. I was excited to try this on skin. Sadly, that sharp minty masculine freshness wears off fast for me. The dry down becomes dirty and mature and not in a flattering way. Worth getting a decant if you're curious, but definitely not worth buying a full bottle in my opinion. There really are far better gentleman/barbershop scents out there for a third of the price or less. I wanted to like this one, but just can't see it making sense for the price.
