Creed
Viking EDP
“Structured, purposeful, and built to conquer — whatever that means on a Tuesday.”
Erwin Creed's 2017 launch for the house, positioned alongside Aventus as a brighter, more aromatic alternative. An aromatic-fougère masculine with pink pepper, peppermint, and lemon at the top, a lavender-Bulgarian rose-orris heart with clove and allspice, and a vetiver-cedar-musk-tonka bean base. Performs strongest in spring and fall, daytime, 8-10 hours with strong projection.
The take
What works
- ●Robust four-season versatility rare in Creed's lineup
- ●Pink pepper and lavender open is genuinely exciting
- ●Better longevity than most Creed offerings
Trade-offs
- ●Less distinctive than Green Irish Tweed or Aventus
- ●Steep price for a supporting character in the range
