The Himalaya fragrance was launched by the Creed design house in 2002. The perfume is the creation of Olivier Creed (6th generation) and Erwin Creed (7th generation). The fragrance was created by the master-perfumer as a way to capture his experience climbing up the Tibetan snow-capped mountain. The fragrance begins with fresh citrus notes that move into earthy woody heart notes and masculine musk and ambergris on dry down.
