Viking Cologne

Creed presents Viking Cologne in 2021, in the form of an Eau de Parfum composed by Olivier Creed. The name refers directly to Viking, a perfume from the same house of which this creation is a summer version. Viking Cologne is available in three sizes: 5 ml, 50 ml and 100 ml.

Citrus opening

Bergamot, lemon, mandarin and pink pepper make up the opening. Bergamot combines a fruity character, a touch of sweetness and freshness; lemon brings acidity and a tart tonality. Mandarin reads as sparkling, sun-kissed and luminous, while pink pepper, a berry with spicy accents, lends a touch of sweetness.

Aromatic heart

The heart brings together geranium, lavender, rosemary, sage, nutmeg and mace. Geranium evokes rose and a soft flower; lavender combines floralcy, freshness and a camphor-like accent. Rosemary evokes thyme and laurel, sage evokes grass and earth. Nutmeg and mace, from the fruit of the nutmeg tree, bring woody warmth, freshness and spicy sweetness.

Woody and resinous base

Vetiver, incense, patchouli, sandalwood, cedar and a wood note make up the base. Vetiver is woody, smoky, earthy; incense, a burned resin, presents camphor-like, waxy and spicy facets. Patchouli evokes damp earth and camphor. Sandalwood turns velvety and warm, cedar recalls pencil shavings and resin, and the wood note adds sweetness and smoothness.

Fougère family

The fougère family is traditionally organized around a dialogue between lavender, aromatic herbs and a woody or earthy base. In Viking Cologne, lavender, geranium, rosemary and sage carry the aromatic side, while vetiver, patchouli and cedar provide the woody, earthy anchoring expected in this register.
