The (Failed) Second Coming
When Viking was announced, everyone was hailing it as the successor to Aventus, managing to overlook Royal Oud in the process. Everyone thought that Creed would once again capture lightning in the bottle, and forever change the fragrance industry once more. Instead, they gave us a very safe, perfectly pleasant, spicy masculine fragrance that is reminiscent of the barbershop scents of yore.
And people absolutely hated it.
Years later, now that the dust has settled, I can say that this is one of my favourite fragrances from Creed and was, for a time, my signature scent. It’s perfectly masculine, with a minty, peppery opening and a smooth, creamy drydown. It projects well, and will be noticed, but not necessarily commented on. This is a great fragrance for when you want to make an impression without making a statement.
