A really great new men's fragrance from Creed, if there wasn't one problem
This morning I received my bottling of Viking Cologne. The fragrance is now since 8.30 clock on my skin, so it may be that I will still make an adjustment in the durability rating.

Let's briefly discuss the scent: Viking Cologne has the typical spicy notes from the regular Viking. The difference from Viking Cologne is mainly the much stronger citrusy DNA. The pepper has been significantly reduced here. In the heart note, the rose has been almost completely removed. The further course is similar to the normal Viking also the base note as far as I can already evaluate this is also similar but somewhat milder.

The big advantage of Viking Cologne I see quite particularly with young people. Some was the normal Viking too old-fashioned with the dominant rose and pepper and lavender. Viking Cologne is much more modern and will also appeal to the clientele of an Aventus or Aventus Colognes. Viking Cologne I can recommend to anyone who is looking for an alternative to Aventus or Aventus Cologne with more rough edges and more spiciness.

The Big disadvantage is unfortunately again the durability: after a little more than 4 hours, the scent is already relatively weak. I hardly think that Viking Cologne will create over 6 hours. Here, of course, you can say is only a cologne a fresh scent. But there are fragrances from Xerjoff, Roja, Terenzi and also Louis Vuitton which offer better performance.

I'm not sure yet whether I will buy a bottle of Viking Cologne.

Definitely undervalued for me
The Viking Cologne is the gentle brother of the original Viking.
A fresh citrusy fragrance for everyday life with great own twist.

Lemon, bergamot, lavender, sage and rosemary are for me the main players of this fragrance.
In addition, a gently used pepper. The original comes for me already with a busy pepper bell around the corner, the cologne plays that out simply softer and for me personally more pleasant.

Overall, we get here simply a fresh, citrusy, totally everyday fragrance with light oldschool vibes.
I like it really well !

The performance is for the money what you have to spend a little critical to look at.
Nevertheless, he holds out with me sometimes up to five hours and that is again then not even so wrong. Just from the aspect that I had expected much less.

Please test the fragrance and do not let you necessarily blinded by the relatively weak evaluation.

I think times already that this fragrance will please some.

Great flanker!
I must admit that I always liked the original Viking (while everyone rushed to bash it). So, of course, I like this one too. However, this one is a lot better blended and has similar scene scent profile just more summer appropriate (as the original was a bit too heavy for warm months). I get the same mint impression from geranium and same deep spicy rose impression from pink pepper. The woods in the base a lot of smoother and lighter which might be a welcomed change if the original Viking was too harsh for you in the dry down. Give it a try, wear it on your skin (as you should with all Creeds) and even if you didn't like the original Viking, chances are you will come round and buy a full bottle of this!!! All Creeds are expensive and buying them is a matter of personal taste and budget. :)

Viking Cologne
My sample arrived yesterday morning and I have given this fragrance 1 full wearing. From the moment I sprayed this onto my skin, I was immediately reminded of Terre D’Hermes with the mandarin orange/vetiver combination but this is done in standard Creed fashion which results in a much more fresh summer-friendly alternative to TdH and IMO, better. This smells more vibrant and realistic albeit not original but this does seem to have more development than TdH as it transitions into Viking in the dry down. Smells fantastic and a lot more contemporary than the original Viking. Anybody who is considering purchasing TdH in the near future (and has some money lol), I recommend you give this a try before you pull the trigger. Projection and longevity are the same as Aventus Cologne to my nose but it’s hard to judge from a sample sprayer. Will last the work day, I’m sure.

A mature scent for all ages
First off, let’s shed our preconceived impressions of TDH and Viking and look at this fragrance for what it is.
It’s a crowd pleasing fresh peppery modern day fougere. Nothing is overpowering. There are no clashing notes, just a well blended fresh fougere.
The top is citrusy and peppery.
The mid is a well blended mix of geranium cedre and a bit of lavender, it makes for a fresh spicy soapy paper feel.
The base is lovely clean patchouli, sandalwood and a bit of woody “sour” vetiveryl with just a touch, and I mean a very light touch of coumarin to smoothe everything out.
Now that we’re done giving this a fair and honest review, let’s rip into the price.
It’s a no for me. I’m still hesitant to buy another bottle. Even at discount tester price, it’s still pretty steep.
Maybe if they made flacons, I’d buy it at discount price.
This is a great intro into fougeres for people with a more modern taste in fragrance, buy it at discount only.

Bathroom cleaning supplies combined with good old allspice. Can't say much more except that it has really garbage performance. Creed failed

Light and refreshing citruses, tempered by soft aromatic touches and grounded by a gentle woody base. Somewhat minimalistic but pleasant.
