Creed Viking is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Olivier Creed. Viking opens with Absinth, Bergamot, Lemon, and Orange, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Vetiver, and Tonka Bean. Creed's Viking carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Viking is a bold, spicy-fresh statement for the modern classicist. Its punchy mint, pepper and citrus opening signals confidence, while the drydown balances woods and florals with Creed's signature refinement.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

Viking's fresh spicy-citrus opening and aromatic heart are ideal for spring and autumn, with enough warmth and spice for early fall. Less suited to winter due to its fresher profile and moderate projection.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its refined freshness and moderate sillage make it versatile for office and casual wear. The spicy aromatic signature allows for smart-casual or even semi-formal settings, but it is too dressed up for sport and not bold enough for black tie.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Creed Viking Eau de Parfum opens with an exhilarating rush of pink pepper and peppermint, underscored by zesty bergamot and lemon. The heart melds spicy clove and allspice with aromatic lavender and a creamy touch of rose, building to a base of smooth vetiver, crisp cedar and clean musk. The overall effect is brisk, spicy and invigorating yet unmistakably refined, evoking traditional barbershop masculinity with a modern, adventurous twist. Projection is moderate and the composition remains fresh and complex throughout its evolution.
