The composition
Viking opens with a cool rush of peppermint and pink pepper over bergamot, lemon and orange. Clove and allspice come through soon after, warm and dry, with lavender and a touch of rose softening the spice. Cedar and vetiver carry it into a gently sweet base of tonka and white musk.
It wears like a classic barbershop scent brought up to date: fresh at first, then warm and spiced. A natural pick for anyone who likes lavender and clove, and comfortable across the seasons.
How it wears
Viking starts cool and minty and turns warm and spicy, so it moves easily between daytime and evening. The peppermint and citrus fade early; most of the wear is clove, allspice and lavender over cedar and vetiver, with tonka softening the end. Reviewers often liken it to a classic barbershop fougère, and their reports on how long it lasts vary widely.
Compared with
- Viking CologneCreed
- A separate 2021 fragrance, not a lighter edition of this one. Viking Cologne drops the mint and absinthe for orange, herbs and soft sandalwood. Viking is the denser and spicier of the two, with rose, clove and a smoky cedar base.
- Iris DebonairCreed
- Another Creed in our catalog that shares absinthe, pink pepper and lavender. Iris Debonair turns softer and powdery, with fig and iris; Viking heads into clove, allspice and cedar.
- Royal OudCreed
- Royal Oud is woodier and calmer, with grapefruit and cardamom over cedar and a soft oud. Viking is the spicier and more aromatic, with peppermint up top and clove in the heart.

Questions about Viking
Is Creed Viking the same as Viking Cologne?
No. Viking is Creed's 2017 Eau de Parfum. Viking Cologne followed in 2021 as a separate fragrance built on orange, herbs and sandalwood, without Viking's peppermint and absinthe. This listing is the original Viking.
What does Creed Viking smell like?
Creed calls Viking an aromatic fougère, spicy and woody. It opens with peppermint, pink pepper and citrus, then settles into clove, allspice, lavender and rose over cedar, vetiver and tonka.
Is Creed Viking a men's fragrance?
Creed markets Viking as a men's fragrance. Its lavender, clove and peppermint follow the classic barbershop fougère style, which suits anyone who enjoys aromatic, spiced scents.
Where is the full bottle of Creed Viking sold?
In the US, Creed sells Viking on its own site and in Creed boutiques, and Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue carry it as well.
