An office worker in the mountains
I know a guy like that, he's the CEO of a company, but that's not enough for him. I think he's actually okay, but his constant extreme sports activities, with the aim of getting as many compliments as possible on the Internet and in the local press, in Swabian "mei Kerle, Du bisch hald dr Greschde", sometimes really get on my nerves. You have to run the toughest ultramarathon, climb Mont Blanc with a touring group, the main thing is that you were there and the local paper writes the usual stuff. Even if you can not move for at least a week afterwards.
Do not misunderstand. I love the fragrance of Creed Himalaya, but a mountain fragrance, so à la Reinhold Messner, is just not. The fragrance wants to be as much mountain, as just this actually quite nice guy. And the fragrance doesn't need the attention any more than this guy does. Because he's already really good and doesn't need all that. I find anyway, the fewest fragrances of the brand Creed have this eternal kerfuffle of because king and emperor xy have worn the now and then, not necessary. But that's another topic.
Himalaya is for me a business fragrance. It fits quite wonderfully in a business setting with its cool aura, spicy notes and soft white musk. It's not as cuddly and approachable as Silver Mountain Water, even though the two are definitely related. It's a bit more oddball, more austere, due to the pepper, nutmeg, and its soft vetiver notes, which are a bit along the lines of Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver. The citrusy top notes are only there at the very beginning, making way quite quickly for the fine white musk in the base that carries the fragrance. A bit of amber adds some warmth and tonka dutifully holds back and doesn't sweet around. I think the scent is quite wonderful. A bit notchy, but flattering. Unapproachable and approachable at the same time. If I were the boss of a company with an office workspace, I'd probably wear this more often. I don't like the term everwalker, but this is just such a scent and it's wonderful.
Aaaabut: Himalaya is not a mountain scent. Never smells up there like a freshly washed and ironed shirt. And just as Himalaya smells through its gentle musk just. If you're looking for authentic mountain scents, you'd better ask the experts Chizza, Floyd or Flioline and better not look at Creed. You're in the wrong place. OK, compared to Tauer's L'Air des Alpes Suisses Himalaya is definitely closer to real mountain freshness, but, oh, let's leave that.
The fragrance is in any case a fine 8.5. Unfortunately, durability and sillage are a bit poor, which is why I will probably not buy it again Mr. Polly, who is also increasingly in offices and not in the mountains, for the quite high price. Nevertheless, I sniff him damn gladly, I've found yesterday again, after Mr. Polly had applied a sample, which was a gift from me.
