The Essence Vault Himalaya - 457 is an Eau de Parfum. Himalaya - 457 opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Sandalwood. The Essence Vault's Himalaya - 457 carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

An accessible echo of Creed's Himalaya - the crisp citrus-cedar core is recognisable, but the original's rare mysore-style sandalwood texture and near-silent longevity are the two things a budget blend can't replicate.

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.

A bright citrus-woody profile that thrives in warm weather and feels thin in winter cold.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual

Clean and understated enough for the office or a casual day out; not distinctive enough for a formal evening.

About

No. 457 reaches for Creed Himalaya's clean, mountain-air citrus-and-wood signature, opening with a bracing hit of grapefruit, bergamot and lemon that closely tracks the original's crisp freshness. The sandalwood-cedarwood base is smooth and pleasant, giving the fragrance a refined, understated masculinity, though it lacks the creamy, almost velvety depth that makes Himalaya feel so expensive up close. Where Creed's version whispers its way through a full day, this dupe's citrus brightness and woody warmth taper off within a few hours, needing a reapplication to carry into the evening. A solid daytime option for fans of the clean-woody-citrus style who want the idea of Himalaya without the price.
