Fragrance information:

Identity and Release History

Discover Dior — the legendary House embodying Parisian elegance and luxury since 1947, through the fragrance Higher, released in 2001.

This eau de toilette for men is part of the eponymous collection and reflects the brand's bold, modern approach to perfumery while maintaining classic sophistication.

Positioning and Wearability

Higher is created for men who appreciate restraint and refinement.

With a faintly perceptible trail, it is perfect for everyday wear, office meetings, or informal evenings, without overwhelming others.

The fragrance belongs to the fougère, fruity, spicy, and woody families, making it versatile for spring, summer, and autumn, adding freshness and warmth to any style.

Author and Influence

Behind the magic of Higher is the genius of perfumer Olivier Pescheux, known for his innovative compositions that balance tradition and modernity.

This fragrance has strengthened Dior's position in men's perfumery by offering a unique blend of notes.

If Higher impressed you, explore similar options: Maison Francis Kurkdjian Féminin Pluriel, Vera Wang Vera Wang, and Dzintars Ridzinieces Noslepums / The Secret of Riga for expanding your fragrance palette.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The Higher note pyramid begins with an invigorating burst of basil and citrus chord, where lemon, peach, and pear create a playful, fruity introduction, filled with solar energy.

In the heart of the fragrance, spicy and woody notes unfold: black pepper and cardamom add piquancy, while cypress and rosemary bring depth and aromatic freshness.

The base concludes with cozy and persistent chords of cedar, pear tree, and musk, providing a soft, woody finish with a gentle trail.

This dynamic composition smoothly evolves on the skin, from bright initial freshness to spicy heart and stable base, making every moment of wear unique and memorable.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Medium (2 to 5 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Imperceptible

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
