The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017 by Creed and crafted by Olivier Creed, Viking is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that embodies the contrast between fresh, crisp notes and warm, woody undertones. The opening of pink pepper and peppermint gives way to a heart of lavender and Bulgarian rose, creating a tension that's both invigorating and intriguing. The base notes of cedar, vetiver, and white musk ground the composition with earthy warmth, making it feel like a scent you could wear from morning to night.
Start with one generous spray to capture both the bright top notes and the warm base. This fragrance takes about an hour for its full character to develop on skin, so give it time before deciding if a second application is needed.
