This Eau de Parfum is Beautiful! Light and ethereal are very proper words to use when describing the first impressions of Fleurs de Gardenia. The top notes combined with the fresh green notes of galbanum are bright and stimulating. As this moves onward into the floral heart notes, it is as if their buds have unfolded one by one to fill the senses with a little bit of heaven. A short while passes as you enjoy this eau de parfum before the entire base warms on the skin. When it does it is balmy and soft as a feather. The base notes deepen the floral notes slightly and it is romantic and delicate in the final dry down.

The House Of CREED does it right again. Maybe Oliver Creed wanted to paint an olfactory picture of a garden in one corner of heaven. Or, maybe, he was thinking about the budding of a new romance. Which ever it was he had in mind, I would have to say that as usual Oliver Creed was spot on.

Oliver Creed (sixth generation master perfumer) at CREED in Paris presents this Eau de Parfum as a gift to his American audience, Acqua Fiorentina The Encore. The original was not available in the USA. As a special touch to the creation, Mr. Creed added Diamond Jubilee Apples to the blend honoring The Royal Year 2012.

On me, this is fruity and slightly floral. Very lovely and an easy wear. These fruit notes are juicy, not too sweet, not too tart. The fruits are right there in the middle of both. The two floral notes are perfect in this composition. As the base notes of Sandalwood and Cedar become apparent, they are subtle, adding depth. Then the surprise is the juicy white grapefruit revealing itself in the base. If you love fruity parfums, then this one is sure to delight you. No, not a sweet teenagers fruity fragrance. This one is grown up and classy. The house of CREED, has created another lovely Eau de Parfum. To tell the truth, I would expect nothing less from this Parfum House with their history of creations for Royalty and the famous throughout their existence.

CREED, Himalaya

De Pere en Fils Depuis 1760
Master perfumer Olivier Creed and Erwin Creed  (Olivier's son)
Himalaya
Woody Oriental/ Fresh

Notes: Fresh Grapefruit, bergamot (Calabria), Lemon (Sicily), Sandalwood, Musk, Ambergris, Cedar wood

Himalaya mists from the bottle in a fresh, fruity, watery burst. It is quickly followed by the woody notes rounded out and smoothed with Musk and Ambergris. It is a simple easy to wear fragrance for both men and women alike. Indeed when I'm wearing this I think of a quiet walk in the woods or sitting by a fire relaxing and enjoying life.

The signature Creed Falcon for this one is a matte silver finish. 75ml 2.5 fl. oz.

This line has been around for a very long time. Their fragrances are hand mixed. Their line, to me, is amazing. Some in this line can be mixed with each other as well, to create a whole other fragrance which I find to be a bit of fun sometimes.
