HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Himalaya by Creed was launched in 2002, created by Olivier and Erwin Creed as an Oriental Woody fragrance for men. The composition opens with a bright citrus trio of Calabrian bergamot, grapefruit, and Sicilian lemon that cuts through the air like a crisp mountain breeze. As it develops, the woody notes of sandalwood and cedar provide a grounding warmth, while musk and ambergris add an animalic depth that evokes the rugged majesty of its namesake mountains.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points — this fragrance develops best when close to skin. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so allow a few minutes for the woody base to emerge fully.
