{"product_id":"himalaya","title":"Himalaya","description":"\u003cp\u003eOlivier Creed built this one around a Tibetan expedition, and the metallic bottle was designed to look like a mountaineer's canteen. Creed released Himalaya in 2002 as an eau de parfum, positioning it as a follow-up to Silver Mountain Water, and it has lived in that fragrance's shadow ever since. Reviewers who go looking for icy peaks come away disappointed. Reviewers who take it as a citrus fougere tend to like it a great deal. Aromatica carries the Himalaya decant in Bangladesh in three sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFragrance Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lemon, Mandarin Orange\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart:\u003c\/strong\u003e Juniper Berries, Pepper, Sandalwood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Musk, Ambergris, Cedar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Scent\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening is a three-way citrus split between dry bergamot, juicy lemon and sweet grapefruit, and the grapefruit is the one most people notice first. \u003cstrong\u003eIt reads as cold rather than sunny\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is the closest the fragrance gets to the mountain concept it was named for. Pepper sits behind the citrus from the start and gives it a faint crackle. The unusual structural move comes next: sandalwood arrives early, functioning as a heart note rather than a base note, and multiple reviewers comment on being caught off guard by how quickly the composition turns woody. Within fifteen to twenty minutes the citrus recedes and a green, slightly creamy woodiness takes over, with juniper adding a dry gin-like facet that a lot of people miss entirely. \u003cstrong\u003eOpinion on the sandalwood is split\u003c\/strong\u003e, with some hearing genuine creamy wood and others hearing a synthetic approximation of it. The base is where the house signature shows up, musk and ambergris and cedar in the proportions Creed uses everywhere, and even reviewers who dislike the rest of Himalaya usually concede this part smells good. Comparisons run in two directions. Some hear a fresh fougere in the lineage of Eternity for Men and XS Pour Homme, while others place it as a cleaner, fruitier ancestor of Creed Viking. \u003cstrong\u003eThe most common complaint is that it goes quiet quickly\u003c\/strong\u003e and settles close to the skin, which frustrates people who expect a niche price to buy a loud fragrance. Several long-term wearers argue the restraint is deliberate. The name creates a problem the fragrance never solves. Almost every negative review opens by noting that nothing here suggests ice, altitude or mountain air, and that the concept sets up an expectation a citrus fougere was never going to meet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to Wear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCool weather rather than hot. \u003cstrong\u003eSpring and fall are where the crisp green character reads best\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it is well suited to office wear because it is polished without being interesting enough to distract anyone. Heat tends to amplify the woody base and mute the citrus, so summer is the weakest fit.
