Viking* Type Formula StudyLongship 17 · GA-021755
A first breath as cold as a dawn sea wind — lemon and orange peel, the chill of mint, a sharp bite of pepper. Then the warm spices of clove and lavender spread, and dry woods, vetiver and a clean musk stay long on the skin. A spicy aromatic woody that opens cold and lingers warm.

What you’ll learn from this formula
How a tiny amount makes a cold first breath
winter air between hot spices and broad woods
Main skill
The power of traces
People remember this kind of scent for its cold first breath, yet the perfumer’s secret that opens that chill is only about a thousandth of the formula, and the materials that give the cool mint add up to only about a hundred-fiftieth. That tiny amount lays winter air over a citrus opening of about a seventh, so the whole scent reads cool. That is the lesson: a strong impression comes not from adding a lot, but from placing a very little in the right spot.
Supporting skill
Setting the heart
How to wrap a warm heart in coolness: the spice and herb block is about a seventh of the formula, and within it the warm spices people remember so vividly are only about a fortieth of the formula. Lavender materials of about an eleventh of the formula surround them, so the heat stays inside a clear herbal grain instead of jumping forward.
Supporting skill
Close to the skin
How broad woods make the contrast last: a little over a third of the formula is wood, and more than two thirds of that is one velvety woody material. Beside it, more than half of the amber and musk — about a quarter of the formula — is one clean musk material, so after the cold opening and the warm heart have passed, the drydown stays quietly and long close to the skin.
