by Crabtree & Evelyn
Himalayan Blue by Crabtree & Evelyn offers a serene, tea-driven fragrance with a distinct astringent opening of citrus and black tea, layered with subtle spicy notes of ginger, pink pepper, and a faint leathery warmth. The overall impression is quiet, graceful, and meditative—reminiscent of a crisp mountain morning or a calm moment with freshly brewed tea. The scent evolves into a layered drydown of woody patchouli, sandalwood, and a soft, green floral depth, creating a balance between freshness and warmth. While it lacks dramatic development, it possesses a soothing confidence that makes it ideal for daytime wear, particularly in spring or autumn. Its presence is modest, with moderate sillage and endurance, but many find it unexpectedly long-lasting and deeply personal, especially when layered with the body lotion. It avoids sweetness and leans toward the elegant, unisex side—ideal for those who prefer not to wear overtly sweet or fruity perfumes.
