Lush Himalaya is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1993, created by Mark Constantine. Himalaya opens with Pepperwood or Hercules Club, settles into a heart of Jatamansi or Spikenard, and dries down to a base of Ylang-Ylang. Lush's Himalaya carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Himalaya is an odd, earthy little fragrance built on just three notes, and it leans into that strangeness. It suits anyone bored of polished crowd-pleasers who wants something rooted and slightly wild.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

About

Himalaya keeps its note list very short. It opens with pepperwood, also called Hercules club, which gives a dry, peppery edge. The heart is jatamansi, or spikenard, an earthy and rooted note. Ylang-ylang sits underneath and adds a creamy floral softness. With so few notes, it wears as a simple, natural-feeling scent that reads as grounded and calm rather than showy.
