Key Notes of Viking Cologne
What Does Viking Cologne Smell Like
The Viking Cologne by Creed presents a vibrant symphony of scents beginning with a crisp, lively citrus wave of bergamot, lemon, and mandarin orange. These are complemented by a subtle hint of pink pepper that adds a touch of unexpected spiciness, creating an invigorating opening.
Transitioning to the heart of the fragrance, a combination of botanicals emerges, led by the dominant geranium. The sharp, green aroma of geranium is softened by calming lavender, offering a soothing, gentle backdrop. The scent is further spiced by the addition of nutmeg, while rosemary and sage bring an herbaceous dimension, lending a familiar, comforting tone to the overall scent profile.
As the fragrance settles, the base notes make their presence known. Sandalwood, with its rich, creamy fragrance, is the star player, backed up by the grassy, earthy tones of vetiver. Cedarwood provides a light woodiness, while frankincense introduces a smoky sweetness. Lastly, a hint of patchouli adds a warm, slightly musky finish.
Overall, Viking Cologne by Creed offers a multifaceted journey through a bright citrus opening, a spicy floral heart, and a warm, woody base, creating a fragrance that is as intriguing as it is enjoyable.
Review of Viking Cologne
Creed's Viking Cologne, launched in 2021, has a unisex appeal, but a slight edge towards men. This perfume is a lively fusion of fresh, citrus, and spicy notes, with a hint of fougère and woody undertones. The citrus and spice give off an energetic vibe, while the fresh aspect keeps it airy and light. The woody and green notes add a subtle depth, preventing it from being too sharp or overwhelming. With its brightest moments in spring and summer, this scent works well during the day, whether you're lounging around or immersed in business affairs. However, its versatility also extends to cooler fall days, and some might even find it comforting in winter. It’s not aggressive in its sillage, so it's perfect for those preferring to wear their scent close. Its longevity could be better, and it's not the most budget-friendly option, yet those charmed by its vibrant character might find it worth the investment.
