CREED Viking Cologne Eau de Parfum

The more I wear this, the more I like it. After a fresh shower and shaving before work, I splash this on, and it energizes me. I find myself reaching for this at least 1-2 times a week, especially on warmer days. Warning, it does not smell like Viking. I get about 7 hours of longevity but very little projection. In addition, I’m not saying it’s worth the full retail price, but it’s not as bad as a lot of people claim.

First- I'd like to say Fuc*k Creed for raising their prices.
I've owned several bottles but I will never buy another.
Royal Oud is great but 575$ for a 100ML ? GTFO

This is a less challenging version of Viking. Fresh and good in heat. More of a crowd pleaser and will appeal to a wider audience. Decent pickup if you want a more flexible fragrance or even if you don't like Viking. It shares some similarities but it's much different that the original.

I dont understand the hate for this fragrance. Im sure a lot of it is down to price increases or having small samples to test and not giving the fragrance a proper wearing. Has small similarites to Viking but thats about it. A great freshie for spring and summer. I have nothing like this in my collection. Thumbs up from me

Ok this is mad sexy. It’s a proper daddy fragrance. It’s very gentlemanly and mature in a modern, fresh, but bold way. Very masculine and put together. Don’t think this would work on someone in their teens or twenties so well unless they really had their life together. I personally think this would work all year round but for sure will shine most in warmer weather. Could easily be signature scent stuff.

I’m going to miss this one when I run out. After going through the first half of my 100ml bottle I’ve come to realize something. This is truly a product for men of leisure, for those fortunate few whom can pay a premium for a situational grooming product. I am not one of them.

I originally misunderstood this product’s intent. I assumed it was a warm weather companion to its OG stablemate. Viking OG is bold enough to be a daily wear and is one of my favorite discoveries. This isn’t really a flanker and it isn’t for wearing to the office or your average weekend. This isn’t for vacation. Instead this is perfect for refreshing in late afternoon. It’s a great way to wake up after a shower. And yes, this is exactly how you want to smell after an expensive shave and haircut.

But this isn’t for me, a man who logs 8 hours a day in between hour long commutes.

The arrangement of citrus, lavender, cedar and vetiver isn’t groundbreaking. But barbershop scents are classics for a reason. And here, this one is blended well. The bracing citrus opening revels the lavender heart with such grace, laid atop a firm cedar base that slowly fades as the hours pass. Were I unbound by the fiscal responsibilities of modern suburbia then I would keep this a staple in my home and freshen up with it every afternoon. Sadly my station in life requires I ask for more of my costly expenditures. When I outlay several hundred units of currency I need a perfume that can work for several hours. I need one of the marvels of modern perfume engineering that achieve great things from an ever shrinking pool of available ingredients. A tragedy capitalism has thrust upon me.

But if I could, I would.
