Creed Viking Cologne Eau de Parfum 50ml is the 2021 fresh-aromatic cologne reimagining of Creed's 2017 Viking signature, created by Olivier and Erwin Creed. Inspired by the springtime spirit of the Norwegian fjords, the fragrance combines the headiness of an eau de parfum with the invigorating freshness of a classic cologne — built around bright citruses, an aromatic herbal heart and a dry sandalwood-frankincense base.
About Creed
Creed is a French luxury perfume house with origins dating back to 1760, family-run for generations and best known for its hand-crafted, high-quality fragrances produced in small batches. The Viking range was launched in 2017 as a confident, characterful pillar in the men's collection, with Viking Cologne joining the family in 2021 as the line's lighter, more aromatic-fougère interpretation.

Character
Viking Cologne opens with a bold, fresh-ozonic burst of bergamot, lemon and mandarin lifted by a hint of pink pepper. The heart leans into a classic aromatic-fougère register — lavender, rosemary and sage layered with geranium and a touch of nutmeg for warmth. The dry-down rounds out into a dry, refined base of sandalwood, frankincense, cedar, patchouli and vetiver, giving the fragrance its quietly confident, grown-up signature. Lighter and more invigorating than the original Viking, but still unmistakably Creed.
Who it's for
This fragrance suits men who want a refined, characterful aromatic-fougère with serious provenance — particularly fans of fresh, herbal-citrus compositions and admirers of Creed's house style. It's a strong daytime, office and casual evening signature, and a versatile pick for transitional seasons. The cologne strength makes it well-suited to warmer months and re-application through the day.
How to wear it
- Apply to clean, moisturised skin straight after showering for the longest wear
- Spray onto pulse points — inner wrists, neck and chest
- Two to three sprays is plenty for the cologne strength
- Avoid rubbing wrists together to preserve the brightness of the citrus opening
- Refresh through the day if needed; the cologne format is built for re-spraying
