How it moves

It arrives on Calabrian Bergamot, sicilian lemon and pink pepper — bright, immediate, gone before you have decided about it. The middle belongs to peppercorn, Bulgarian Rose and peppermint. Last to go: indian sandalwood, Haitian Vetiver, indian patchouli and lavandin absolute.

What wearers say

5,100 ratings average 3.42 out of 5. It divides people, which is usually a sign it is actually saying something.

  • Polarizing among users, praised for a bold minty-spicy opening but criticized as harsh or medicinal by many.
  • Often called one of the weaker Creed releases given its high price, though projection and longevity are solid.
  • Some enjoy the peppery lavender-mint aromatic character, describing it as distinctive but not universally flattering.

Who made it

Olivier Creed composed it in 2017, for Creed in France. Launched in September 2017, Viking was Creed's first major release since Aventus, evoking Nordic exploration through a spicy, minty aromatic composition.
