Viking by Creed is a sharp, herbal fragrance built around citrus and pepper rather than sweetness. Bergamot, lemon and pink pepper open it bright and a little peppery, and rose sits in the heart alongside peppermint and lavender for a cool, green lift. Vetiver and patchouli close it out dry and grounded. Launched in 2017, it is worn mostly by men, and it suits anyone who prefers a fresh, herbal scent to an obviously sweet one. Voters wear it across autumn, spring and winter, and reach for it by day as often as in the evening or at night, which makes it a true all-rounder. The longevity vote leans long-lasting, and sillage leans strong, so a light hand goes a long way. Try a 3ml decant across a few different days and see where it fits best.

The community verdict
Peppermint gives Viking its brisk centre, after bergamot, lemon and pink pepper; vetiver and patchouli follow. Wear time splits between moderate and long-lasting, while the largest group finds projection strong. Autumn evenings suit it best, though spring and night also work.

More from Creed
Creed dates its story to 1760, and its perfumes still share a bright, tailored style that reads as effortless rather than loud. Citrus and bergamot open most of them, then ambergris, musk and sandalwood give a clean, smooth finish. Aventus is the name people ask about first: fruity and sweet up top, dry and woody underneath. Green Irish Tweed goes the other way, cool and green with iris and violet. Silver Mountain Water feels as crisp as a winter morning, and Virgin Island Water adds coconut for holidays. Olivier Creed and Pierre Bourdon are among the perfumers credited on the range here.
