Scale the Majestic Peaks: Creed Himalaya Sample

Ascend to new heights of sophistication with Creed Himalaya, the bold woody fresh fragrance launched in 2002 by The House of Creed. Created by master perfumer Olivier Creed (with contributions from Erwin Creed) to commemorate a daring climb in the treacherous Himalayan Mountains, this scent fuses the power of man and nature—evoking snow-capped peaks, crisp mountain air, invigorating citrus winds, and the rugged confidence of an explorer reaching the summit.

Himalaya opens with a bright, zesty explosion of grapefruit, bergamot, lemon, and mandarin—delivering an uplifting, fresh-citrus rush that feels like breathing pure alpine air. The heart adds spicy intrigue with notes like pepper, nutmeg, and juniper berries (sometimes evoking a unique gunpowder edge), blending seamlessly into a warm, polished sandalwood. It dries down to a refined, tenacious base of ambergris, musk, cedarwood, and subtle tonka bean—clean, woody, and subtly animalic with that signature Creed ambergris glow.

Fragrance Notes – A Rugged Mountain Adventure

• Top Notes: Grapefruit, Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin Juicy citrus bursts with invigorating freshness like a Himalayan sunrise.
• Heart Notes: Sandalwood, Pepper, Nutmeg, Juniper Berries Warm, spicy woods add depth and innovative edge.
• Base Notes: Ambergris, Musk, Cedarwood, Tonka Bean Smooth, woody tenacity lingers with masculine refinement.

Frequently hailed as an underrated Creed gem, Himalaya offers crisp, clean sophistication with a fresh-citrus-to-woody evolution—modern yet timeless. Performance is moderate: 6–9+ hours longevity (stronger in cooler weather or on clothes), moderate projection, and intimate-to-moderate sillage—evolving from vibrant citrus sparkle to a soapy, musky-woody finish. Often compared to a more nuanced, premium take on fresh fougères like Paco Rabanne XS, yet with superior natural quality and Creed's distinctive ambergris depth.
