What do reviewers say about Surface and Himalaya?
Mint and cucumber sound like a beauty counter. That's the angle. Clean without trying too hard, fresh without the usual aquatic clichés. Some will find it too simple.Surface
Himalaya is what Creed makes when it stops trying to impress and starts trying to belong. No Aventus drama, no flankers fighting for attention. Just a clean, office-safe.Himalaya
