Behind the Scenes: The Launch of Viking Cologne

It has been 4 long years since we traveled to Iceland for the first time. We were invited by historic world renowned House of Creed to celebrate the launch of Viking. 

At the time this was their first men's eau de parfum launch in seven years and truly a momentous occasion. Since then, we have fallen in love with the brand, from their rich history to their legendary scents. Since that Viking launch 4 years ago we have done multiple other trips with who we affectionally call our Creed Family. Now, in 2021, we have again celebrated another House of Creed milestone. After emerging from the previous dark year, we returned to the place where our relationship began: Iceland for the launch of Viking Cologne. This felt extra special, as it was our first international trip in over a year and a half, and our first post-vaccination destination.

Creed set out to bring Iceland to everyone with a unique idea, a bespoke virtual concert called "Valiant Sounds" featuring performances from Icelandic artists out in the country's unique landscapes. We were on set to capture behind the scenes of this special occasion and are so excited to share them with you all.

The Icelandic artists were: Junius, Gugusar, Logi Pedro, and Young Karin. You can watch the full epic performance here.

 

Viking Cologne is perfect for the free-spirited adventurer pulled towards natural landscapes waiting for their next challenge. A thrilling adventure of light, landscape, and imagination evoking the perseverance necessary to explore terrains yet to be known. This crisp and valiant cologne opens with top notes of Calabrian Bergamot, Sicilian lemon, Mandarin, Pink pepper. Middle notes of luscious French Lavender, Egyptian geranium, Nutmeg, Rosemary, and Sage effortlessly transform to reveal a base of frankincense, Indian sandalwood, Indonesian patchouli, and Haitian vetiver.
