Creed Viking Cologne Sample Decant

Refresh with Invigorating Nordic Spring: Creed Viking Cologne Sample

Embrace boundless exploration with Creed Viking Cologne, the bold aromatic fougère Eau de Parfum launched in 2021 by The House of Creed. Created by Olivier Creed and Erwin Creed as a contemporary counterpart to the original Viking, this energizing release captures the reawakening of spring in the wild Norwegian fjords—evoking crisp mountain air, evergreen forests, crystal-clear lakes, and the thrilling first light of adventure with a fresh, ozonic twist.

Viking Cologne opens with a vibrant, zesty citrus explosion of mandarin orange, lemon, bergamot, and pink pepper—delivering an uplifting, effervescent sparkle that feels like a cool fjord breeze. The heart unfolds with aromatic herbal sophistication through lavender, rosemary, geranium, sage, and nutmeg—adding clean, green depth and subtle spicy nuance. It dries down to a refined, woody base of vetiver, cedar, sandalwood, patchouli, and olibanum (frankincense)—smooth, dry, and subtly resinous with that signature Creed polish.

Fragrance Notes – A Fresh Nordic Voyage

• Top Notes: Mandarin Orange, Lemon, Bergamot, Pink Pepper Juicy citrus and spicy pink pepper burst with invigorating freshness.
• Heart Notes: Lavender, Rosemary, Geranium, Sage, Nutmeg Aromatic herbs and subtle spice add clean, sophisticated depth.
• Base Notes: Vetiver, Cedar, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Olibanum Dry woods and resinous frankincense linger with refined tenacity.

Frequently hailed as a lighter, more wearable summer companion to the original Viking, Creed Viking Cologne offers crisp, old-school fougère charm with a modern citrus-herbal twist—often described as a refined, barbershop-inspired fresh scent with Creed DNA. Performance is moderate (typical for a "cologne"-style EDP): 5–8 hours longevity (stronger in warm weather or on clothes), moderate projection (stronger in the opening hours), and intimate-to-moderate sillage—evolving from vibrant citrus opening to a clean, woody-herbal finish. Fragrance communities praise its natural freshness, excellent batch consistency, and versatility as a year-round fresh option (shines brightest in spring/summer), though some note it's less beastly than the original Viking. Often compared to a premium, upscale take on classic citrus-aromatics like Chanel Pour Monsieur or Terre d'Hermès, yet with superior natural quality and Creed elegance.
