Himalaya (2002)
by Creed

Clean but ambiguous scent. My impression while wearing it is a certain "cool aloofness".

The only thing I don't like about this frag is ( of course) the price. It is sample-worthy to me but not justifiable to buy a bottle. Still a thumbs up even though I will never own more than 10ml of it.

pleasantly surprised. I had initially told myself that GIT would be my last creed purchase after my expectations were not fully met, but then again, creed is prices extravagantly where im from. well just over 2 weeks after my GIt purchase i found my self loitering outside of the creed boutique/parlour and decided what the heck, i was going to give himalaya and imperial another try-out, and without even sampling it again, i broke the kitty and got myself a 75ml himalaya. so captivating is the design of the bottle - of which im a self admitted sucker for - that i just paid up and left b4 any 2nd thoughts came about,. i didnt use it till 2 days ago and im starting to realise the effort and intergrity put into the making of this scent. other than it above average longevity, it has a nice earth-ly feel to it. i dont have to go into detail about how is smells like. my personal experience(marred by guilt and novelty-induced pleasure) exceeded my expectations and more so than my GIT. this would potentially be the dry-fresh frag of the year for me and would deserve my thumbs up. but economically, i have to be realistic and take some credit away. just praying the day prices here in Singapore for creed are moderated. otherwise, this is by far the best fresh scent ive ever had. to boot, the nozzle spray is fantastically designed. a breath of fresh air in the midst of the fresh revolution to hit the guccis, chanels, ferragamo etc.

This scent doesn't last long and it doesn't smell great. I gave it many chances but each time I was equally disappointed, so I swapped it for something else.

I think this is the best creed i have sampled so far. It has a very nice peppery soapy smell that lasts all day.I find most creeds like royal water and MI too feminine. This scent actually makes you smell good and feel masculant wearing it. To me it feels kinda like GIT but with a kick. Its not quite as boring as GIT yet still has that amazing smell that GIT has. I highly recommend this one if you want to try a creed.Like others have stated a perfectly balanced scent!

This is consistently my favorite scent...the best description that I've heard of this is that Himalaya smells like money. Like a flashy party in the 1920s or an Aston Martin screeching around the corner. I like the scent when I first put it on...but where it really shines is when I'm taking off my undershirt at the end of the day and I can still smell the undernotes close to me. Just a wonderful scent all around and what got me hooked on Creed in the first place.

I love this scent when it is right. Crisp, clean, and smooth all the way around with great silage and longevity. This is not a warm weather cologne, I have noticed in warm weather it is rather pungent as apposed to the crisp, clean, and smooth analogy. Save this for cooler days.

Also this is one temperamental little scent, on top of the weather affliction it posses it also is prone to be "off" from batch to batch. I have bought 3 bottles of this stuff, one was bad, the other 2 have been great. The bad bottle being of 05 vintage, the other 2 being 07 vintage.

Other than that it is one wonderful and unique scent from the house of Creed.
