Original Santal vs Himalaya

Original Santal receives mixed reception in the community, praised for its natural and sophisticated qualities but criticized as an expensive clone of Mont Blanc Individuel that doesn't necessarily perform better. Many users question the price premium given that Mont Blanc offers similar or superior projection and longevity at a lower cost.

Creed Himalaya is an underrated, pleasant fragrance with a distinctive cool, icy quality that appeals to many wearers. However, it suffers from significantly weaker performance and longevity compared to other Creed offerings, making it best suited as a personal scent rather than a statement fragrance. The high price point is difficult to justify given cheaper alternatives with similar profiles exist.
