Alexandria Fragrances Himalaya Mountains is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2018.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Himalaya Mountains opens with a bright and immediate burst of zesty bergamot, grapefruit, and lemon, creating a sparkling citrus top. This lively start soon settles into a creamy, smooth sandalwood heart, adding a touch of sophisticated warmth. The base evolves into a clean, musky aura, underpinned by dry cedar and a subtle, intriguing hint of ambergris, giving it a gentle, fresh-out-of-the-shower appeal with an earthy depth.
