Viking by Creed, Viking by Creed is a powerful blend of aromatic and green accords. Introduced in 2016, it is an ultra-masculine fragrance, full of strong and robust scents. The cologne opens with pink pepper, black currant and bergamot, starting the fragrance with spiciness and tartness. Next, the heart opens up, with rose, mint and more pepper. The fragrance finishes with lavender, patchouli, vetiver and sandalwood. The floral scents are tempered by the fresh green scents and warm woody notes, creating a balanced, manly cologne. Creed was founded in 1760 by James Henry Creed. It has the distinction of being one of the only perfume houses in which the art of fragrance creation has been handed down, father to son, for over 250 years. Since its founding, Creed has created fragrances for royalty and nobility across Europe. It was not until the 1970s that the company began to mass-produce fragrances for the public. Creed prides itself on using the finest ingredients and age-old techniques.
