Viking was my first Creed purchase, with my other being Royal Oud. You hit the nail on the head! Both a gentlemanly fragrances, and they hit a sweet spot that has been missing in recent fragrance trends. Wearable modern, yet classic, clearly masculine fragrances. As always, great review!
Royal Oud is FANTASTIC too!!
Viking has been getting love recently, I think people realize they mistreated this fragrance
Next time spray me twice, one isn’t enough as i love the smell!
Loved your review as always. I really enjoy your cherry poppin series, keep ‘em coming!
Nice Robes! Video production is the best in the game. 💪🏾👊🏾
Appreciate it!!
Old Spice???
Now I want to try it! 😻
Exactly what i thought haha
I love the layout of this video! Thank you for this review I’ve been waiting for it
i fell in love with this one about a 1,5year ago.. i didnt care about it till i got my nose on it and i gotta say... this is probably my no.1 of creeds .. bumpin heads with GIT. Modern fougere, classy and easy to wear.. masterpiece!
100% agree with the 🐐 of frangrance reviewers
very well constructed video, Marc your one of the first youtubers that got me into the fragrance game . keep it up man
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm gonna try it have a blessed day
Great review! Glad to hear you like this one is well. Viking is probably my most worn scent and I absolutely love it!
Thanks for stopping by Chris. Hope you are doing well!
I knew the peppermint in Viking would grow on you! Great take, I've been a fan of Viking since it came out, no bandwagon hate from me. The Aventus dude-bros who hated it made me love it even more. Cheers
Magical drydown
Opening takes getting used to
Just blind bought this after reading some reviews and watching some UA-cam reviews. You know the excitement of blind buys! I’m 38 and this seems appealing to me. Great video!!! Favorited!
Update?
Those Viking samples back in the day slowly grew on me. I've been a closet Viking wearer for a while now.
Great Job on the Editing on this one. Also Amazing Job on your Call to Actions!!!
Merci Russell! Much love.
Viking is my favorite fragrance (followed by Virgin Island Water). In my opinion, it is a Masterpiece.
I always dig your descriptions of fragrances. You’re dead on buddy👊🏽
Similar to a great aftertaste of a dish, the Pink Pepper & Peppermint seems to have ongoing slight delay to my nose and then it hits!! WoW…the icy/hot sensation of those 2 notes are REALLY intoxicating!!
Great vid my man!
Cheers
Appreciate the comment and stopping by!
Thanks for your take!
Like many, I did a big U-turn on this and now really like it. I layer it with MI to balance out the harsh opening of Viking
Since the first time I smelled Viking I loved it... Land then I found a bottle at good price and I pulled the trigger...I live it still more now. To me it's kind of a modern barbshop...classic but modern at the same time. Thank you for your great take on it.
Excellent take. For me Viking is my most complimented Creed.
Just got a bottle. Man I love this stuff. Great review.
Thanks for stopping by!
Viking is my favourite Creed, and I've smelled a lot of Creeds including Irish Tweed and Aventus. It fits perfectly for the fall time we get here in Scandinavia, with the crisp cool air and the remaining warmth of summer, it doesn't feel out of place as a casual daily scent. I feel Viking is much more sophisticated and deep than people give it credit for, when you don't just judge it for the top notes, and try it over different seasons. The only bad thing I can say is the name Viking, I think they missed out on the opportunity to name it: Fire and Ice, and ride on the popularity of Game of Thrones. It's also a lot cheaper now if you dig a little, I can find the 100 ml for $260 here in Europe.
OUTSTANDING REVIEW!!! I smelled Viking for the first time about 3 weeks ago. I wasn’t really feeling it. I had a chance to get it in a trade. Got it in the mail yesterday. This is really a great fragrance. I just didn’t give it a chance the first time I wore it. I can definitely see this as a daily frag.
I actually got my original fabric Creed sample super late. I like Viking - it brings me back to 90's. What I definitely do not detect here is even a single trace of mint though.
Glad you could set the record straight, Marc, and glad you went after this fragrance and do it justice. I've only smelled a clone of this fragrance and that clone was STELLAR with the mint presentation, but I'm curious about the genuine article so I think this video helped me settle on a sample and to finally start delving a bit more into the house of Creed. I was always kind of off-put by the retail pricing of these higher end niche houses, but discounters (like FragranceX) offer very solid deals on these scents, taking the retail price down almost a full $100-120, so that is quite a bargain for the wallet. I'm glad you enjoyed this and I shall follow suit with a sample of my own. You're always the nose that knows and your viewpoints and experience shine in every test drive and review. Keep being awesome, Marc. :)
This one grew on me big time. Love it now.
I have this and it’s such a gorgeous fragrance, it’s a manly, mature scent. It’s dope ✌️
Unique 👍🏻.
Reminds spice and wood
I own this scent, I love it & it’s grown on me to potentially being my favorite. But the price is just so overwhelming that I save it only for special occasions. Wish it was more affordable
Those Creed prices are scary lol
Got a sample last year and I liked it right off the bat. Considering buying a full bottle, just want to wait for the price to down a little more.
Marc, once again, 99% agree with you: many reviewers are dead to me now because they could not develop their own opinion and followed the negative hype :( Very strong masculine rose note in this one (similar to Windsor).
The first time I wore this fragrance I received a compliment. I wasn't sure about it, I was on the fence about paying retail for something I liked but didn't love. I think it was the menthol/eucalyptus vibe that was getting. After wearing it for about a year, it's my second favorite Creed behind Jardin d'Amalfi.
I said (and fought opinion wars) on the Basenotes forum in 2017 that Viking would eventually become a revered scent in time. People called me names (that's how crazy the hate was). I stood practically alone with only a couple of others against the Viking hate mob.
I totally.understand why Robes08 waited to "delve into this one".
Viking is Creed's most complex scent. People have opinions all over the map comparing it to Oriental Spicy's, Fougeres, Woody's, Minty frags, etc. The scent changes and morphs throughout a wearing. Hence, why I think it gets compared to so many different scent profiles. It's, IMO, a masterpiece.
The amount of work you put in is crazy. Your intros are longer than my videos lol
Thank you for this video and for always having the testicular fortitude to always keep an open mind and speak it honestly. I wasn't a viewer of youtube fragrance content folks when this was released which is also when I bought it (loved it immediately). It wasn't till soon after I bought it that I started to watch frag videos and such. I quickly learned frag-heads are some of the most fickle freaks ever! lmao
For me it was a love from the first sniff.
Hell, for $50, I'd buy it. Not anywhere near my top 5 Creeds, but a decent scent all the same.
Great review bro. Can you give us your thoughts on Bois Du Portugal?
Working on a full review on it actually.
Oh ok I get it
Viking is really underrated. I don't know why most reviewers did not like it as I get the exact same thing as you and would even recommend it for the same age group. It is on the to get list for sure.
Any recommendations on which fragrances to buy during lockdown aka 1.5 m distancing? Any good fragrances that can still make you noticed from 1.5 m distance but will not nuke your surroundings?
Yes it could have been named Tudor or Gentleman or whatever. I think of a birch and/or civet based frag when I think of a frag named Viking. But I love it still..
Viking doesn't work for me but it's always interesting to get your thoughts on things.
I detest mint so that's why it's not for me.
I had the same with viking, because of the mint note. Funny thing is, i do dig aventus cologne and parfums de marly sedley. They both have a crazy mint/spearmint smell, but somehow it goes well with my skin.
I have a lot of Creed samples but can’t seem to pick up a full bottle.
When are going to talk about Moustache Eau de Parfum. Also, would like to hear your thoughts on Tom Ford's Beau de Jour EdP(2020). I agree with you, Viking is a solid release from Creed.
moustache is being unboxed soon on the channel. Beau isn't in my collection yet
If I could have only one fragrance, I'd choose Viking.
💕💕
The haters came from those who weren't able to get it at grey markets. They bash it so hard so it would be marked down faster than ever due to how good it smells.
Is that a new shovel? Been waiting for this cherry...
bought it just for the review, i gave it some random contractor while walking by and said "this is for you, enjoy"
Forty k, much love ❤
Just quacking along....

I had a 5ml sample of Viking. I was surprised at how good it was after hearing so much negativity about it. TBH, I think Creed's price increases have negatively impacted how their scents are received. They're nice scents but they aren't worth the money that Creed charges.
I just subscribe robe 08
Appreciate it my friend!
I had a chance to smell the Viking few years ago and I found it confusing. Not that it would smell bad, but when I saw the name, I was expecting something more rough and masculine, like a smell of a Viking ship - wet wood, sea salt, seaweed, etc.
Yes!! I felt the marketing and the scent did not go hand in hand.
I love Viking. It actually reminds me of a niche version of Tommy by Tommy Hilfiger, not Old Spice..
👍
Love the stuff so much more than Aventus
Can you tell us where you used to go back in the day for 2 months
save the world. That's all i can say
@@robes08 Robes is a spy...I knew it, he knows too much, especially when describing perfumes
Is that a new creed are is that creed Viking
When the Vikings first came to England they introduced the English to cleanliness, as they regularly washed themselves & their clothes & combed & styled their hair & the English didn't. They were also extremely polite & well mannered, whereas the English were actually the ones who were rough & ready. Because of this the English women were swooned off their feet & many married the Vikings. It is believed that the tales of rape & pillage were invented by the aggrieved Englishmen who were seeing their women run off with the suave & sophisticated Vikings. The Vikings were actually the original GENTLEMEN!
I stand correctly. Muddy coming in the clutch.
Total BS .. whole Europe knew nothing about elegance and style and perfumery and hygiene before the muslims civilisation in Andalucia _Spain ..
Also the ottomans taught them the perfumed baths which called hammams.
@@desertknights5003 Never mentioned anything about elegance, perfumery or baths, just that they cleaned themselves, styled their hair & were well mannered.
Isn't this an old video?Rob seems to be reuploading...
nah this is a brand spanking new unless you are from the future.
