Creed Viking Cologne is a Cologne launched in 2021, created by Erwin Creed and Olivier Creed. Viking Cologne opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Lavender, Geranium, Nutmeg, and Rosemary, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Creed's Viking Cologne carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Viking Cologne is a fresh, modern take on a classic masculine fougere. While praised for its invigorating citrus opening and sophisticated barber shop dry down, its performance can be polarising, with some experiencing great longevity while others are left wanting more.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

A vibrant blast of mandarin, lemon, and bergamot ignites the senses, sharpened by a hint of pink pepper. This zesty opening gracefully recedes into a heart of aromatic lavender, geranium, and earthy rosemary, evoking a distinguished barber shop accord. The journey concludes on a warm, woody base of vetiver, frankincense, and sandalwood, lingering with a subtly refined and masculine charm.
