Creed Himalaya Review (vs Silver Mountain Water)

Creed Silver Mountain Water is one of the brand's best-selling fragrances, but what about HIMALAYA? How does it match up?
I actually think Himalaya is a better, more harmonious composition, capturing the elements of cold air, water, and earthiness of the Tibetian landscape PERFECTLY. Sandalwood is a key note, but the heart also contains spices and pepper giving the fragrance a more uplifting, aromatic feel. It is further sweetened and brightened by tonka bean and citruses.
It reminds me more of Green Irish Tweed than Silver Mountain Water. I think SMW belongs in a total different genre, namely fruity GREEN aquatic scents. It is also more feminine smelling than Himalaya. Himalaya is perfect as a year-round signature scent. Refreshing, sweet creamy woods.

You have clearly the gift to explain fragrances without paraphrasing the perfumer’s words. I mean it.

SMW is great. Himalaya is great. They do different things. I have both. Himalaya however is so fresh and clean that it’s incredibly addicting and can be utilized in all seasons. It’s complex and simple at the same time. But the most important aspect of it? It’s clean and fresh, and what’s really better than that day after day? Himalaya and Tabarome are probably the two fragrances from creed that can be worn day after day. And perhaps Bois Du Portugal

I just discovered you! I like how you describe fragrances--simple and straightforward.

Totally agree that the comparisons between Himalaya and Silver Mountain Water are unfounded.

This is how all reviews should be done. Your style of explaining and reviewing is perfect as far as I'm concerned. Great job.

Phenomenal insight about the appropriate use of Tonka here. And I couldn't agree more. Great analysis.

Green Irish Tweed is my favorite fragrance of all time. I think it's awesome that you bring up that Himalaya is like a cousin to it. I have tried Himalaya and the first thing I thought was "this reminds me if a summer version of G.I.T."

Hi there, mind if you can share your thoughts on Himalaya vs Aventus? I have aventus and im eyeing on himalaya but dont know how to compare since its my fav scent

@christopherdavisson617 6 ай бұрын

They smell totally different. Every Creed that I have has a small Creed thing that most of them have in common I assume. But Himalaya is lighter than Aventus and is a fresher, more summer style fragrance IMO. It could almost be unisex in it's nature. It does smell really good But, I'd say I definitely prefer Aventus over it. As I'd stated before Green Irish Tweed is my personal favorite. But Aventus is my second favorite fragrance. Himalaya has a bit of Tweed in it but, not as masculine and it's not as green or woodsy. Neither of them smell anything like Aventus though. And Himalaya only lasts like 3hrs on me before it becomes a skin scent. I get 8 to 9 hours out of Tweed and 6 to 8hrs out of Aventus. Sorry for the long reply. Hope that helps! @@syedfirdaus9279

@@syedfirdaus9279the difference is that Aventus is heavy and smoky/leather with pineapple notes and himalaya is more soapy, fresh, clean, woody.

thank you! I love that you mention the creamy sandal wood right away. It is the main player. I think the ambergris is also prominent, I love that slightly marine smell in the background

Hi, the most underrated Creed is definitely Royal Mayfair and it's a gem! I have Paco XS old tall format bottle, the one Himalaya was inspired by...

I was able to sample/compare (albeit only on test strips) all of the Creeds that were available on a slow Tues at Nordstrom. Himalaya jumped out to me the most--just an energizing rush in the opening. Hard to describe--an aromatic blast of zesty, metallic citrus and, how do I describe it? Like stepping outside a ski chalet on top of a mountain and getting a blast of cold snowy wind? Also get a slight tinge of "wintergreen" with the citrus. It really does fit its name, Himalaya. Haha. Not sure why it is not more popular. If you were to layer it to strengthen its performance, would you go with Molecule 01 (IsoESuper) or 02 (Ambroxan)???

I really get the gun powder in this. I’m not sure if it’s because I know it’s supposed to be there or what. But I definitely THINK I smell it! Gunpowder and sandalwood…

@Ambsdr723 Жыл бұрын

A lot of people described it as a " metallic " gun powder" scent the reason I hate this is because It reminds me of that flavor + sensation of eating a mint that has been in a coin bag... ppl also say that is what a stroke feels like = I dislike all " metallic " scents ....due to ppl describing it that way I hear metallic..... and I feel sick I feel a coin stuck in my throat type of discomfort a sinking pit feeling in my stomach so I never gave it a chance it is going to take a while for me to think of this as a Fresh and not "metallic" scent I do not understand why a "metal" type sensation is desired by some ppl

Ive heard the longevity is absolutely terrible with Himalaya.

@levanabrzeni 2 жыл бұрын

Nice review. However, I would expect from less popular frag. Reviewers to be less focused on note breakdown, and more on giving your own experience with wearing this or that scent. We’ve got very experienced and popular reviewers, who do review notes on top level. You could bring the alternative way of fragrance reviewing, not only notes and longevity. Thanks though

It is similar to allure homme sport eau extrême, i think it’s the niche version of AHSEE.

@bassacoustic1549 2 жыл бұрын

Agree there is a similarity in the dry down to AHSEE, perhaps it’s the musk. I also get a small similarity to light blue intense with the musky dry down.... however Himalaya is quality and not synthetic like the D&G Light Blue. An underrated Creed for sure. Very versatile.
