This is a cologne that reminds me some of Eau Sauvage. The opening is lemon, rosemary and a little lavender. My wife liked it. I'll have to see how it evolves though the day.
CREED Himalaya. I found a sample that I had.
I have a bottle, but the sample smells just a little different.
A little lighter in the notes. A nice fragrance overall, but lacking the wow! factor.
Opening of Strand is bright oranges and lemons, oranges with that little something extra and this lasts a good 30-40 minutes. After the citrus has left the lavender and nutmeg come forward and if you like nutmeg, this is very well done. After 4-5 hours the woods come forward and remain the dominant note for the duration. The frag lasts 8-10 hours total, but the last couple hours it is only a skin scent. Strand is not bad, the opening is fantastic, but the drydown is not my style.
