More about Creed Viking
Viking by Creed is a fiery 2017 men's fragrance that bottles the fearless spirit of boundless exploration for the modern man who goes against the grain. It is inspired by the longships of the Viking Age, one of the greatest design feats of the ninth century, and a symbol of voyage and perseverance, built for the skilled seaman with unbridled determination to conquer. Viking marks the house's first major men's scent since the introduction of Aventus in 2010. The top notes are bergamot, lemon and pink pepper. The heart notes are lavender, peppermint and rose, and the base notes are patchouli and vetiver, so the spice and mint sit on an earthy, dry finish. Creed Viking is chosen in fall and spring, mostly in the evening and at night. A man who wants a sharp citrus and mint opening over rose and patchouli depth, and a scent with a strong story behind it, gets that here.
