Creed Viking Köln Eau De Parfum Vaporisateur 50ml pour hommes

Viking is for me THE masculine scent in the fresh category. A lot of pepper, mint, and this special absinthe note of high quality. Although Viking also has a very cooling effect, you can wear the fragrance perfectly in winter as well. Conclusion: If you're looking for a very masculine, spicy-fresh barbershop scent, you are in the right place.

Creed Viking is a scent that immediately makes me think, “Wow, I am a man.” What I find really strong is the blend of classic masculinity, freshness, and a slightly fruity note. At first, it comes across as spicy and slightly sharp, yet fresh and pleasantly fruity at the same time. This adds a certain casualness to it and makes it, for me, the perfect everyday business fragrance. As it develops, it remains clean and high-quality. Woody and spicy notes come through nicely, but never too heavy or overwhelming. It’s more of a scent that radiates confidence without being loud. Longevity is good for me, and the sillage is just right - you are noticed, but not negatively. It works perfectly for me in everyday life and in business. Conclusion: A really successful blend of fresh, fruity, and masculine. It has character, feels high-quality, and is super wearable. I simply like it.

I ran out of my favourite Eau de Cologne (the one with 900 in its name) a few months ago only to discover that it was no longer available. This started me on a long journey, in scent terms(!), trying different makes but never really finding one that I liked. Until now. Searches online led me to Creed so I bought a Creed 5-sample gift pack and quite liked three of the five. A promising start but as Creed offer quite a range I thought I'd try some others and hit upon Viking, which I love. It's not too strong yet you know it's there all day and, to me at least, my overall impression is that the fragrance is classy.

Viking opens with a complex citrus note, particularly highlighted by the orange. The zesty notes alongside create a very realistic orange/citrus scent. Immediately, there’s a full blast of clove underscored by a slight pepperiness. Allspice isn’t distinctly noticeable, but allspice is also known as clove pepper. After five minutes, the top note settles down and a very subtle rose joins in. The forefront presents a Christmas-spicy orange-clove vibe that reminds one of corresponding tea varieties right upon brewing. Then comes the twist. After about 15 - 30 minutes, the tonka bean makes a relatively loud appearance out of nowhere, steering straight towards an Armani Code direction, yet still accompanied by the orange-clove tea. The woods are quietly perceptible but do not push themselves to the forefront. A beautiful and high-quality scent and scent progression that feels so natural that the components appear as a picture before the inner eye.
