More about Creed Himalaya
Himalaya by Creed is an Oriental Woody fragrance for men. Himalaya was launched in 2002. Himalaya was created by Olivier Creed and Erwin Creed. Top notes are Calabrian bergamot, Grapefruit and Sicilian Lemon; middle note is Sandalwood; base notes are Musk, Ambergris and Cedar. Oliver Creed created this masculine fragrance in remembrance of his Tibetan mountain-climbing expedition. Himalaya conveys the magnificence, beauty, power and eternity of the unapproachable mountains with snow-covered peaks. The flacon for Himalaya is unique among the Creed collection for its metallic exterior, which resembles both a mountaineer's canteen as well as the shiny surface of ice on mountain rocks. The fresh, citrusy opening offers notes of grapefruit, bergamot and lemon. The fragrance takes an oriental turn with a heart featuring sandalwood, all on a base of musk, ambergris and cedarwood.
