Fragrance information:

Dior launched Higher Black in 2002 — and it was a brilliant move. By character, a masculine fragrance drawing from the fern and wood families. Perfumer Olivier Gillotin is the author behind this composition. A fragrance from the Higher collection, in eau de toilette.

It's a light presence — longevity is low, perfect for those who love something airy. Country of origin — France, and that already says something about the quality. Higher Black Dior — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The olfactory structure of Higher Black unfolds as a living composition, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The style of Dior is clear in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette sets the right density and pace of development.

From the first breath you detect spicy-green first notes: Basil, Citrus accord, Lemon and Mint. These 4 notes shape pure fougère elegance that anchors the first impression immediately.

In the central layer you sense Cypress, Rosemary, Rosemary flower and Spices carrying a lavender-sage direction.

The accord architecture is driven by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Fruit without random overlap. Secondary accord layers such as Musc, Wood and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background. The stylistic positioning is masculine, which clarifies the composition character.

From the group perspective the structure relies on Aromatic, Citrus, Fruit and Wood. The framework further includes Spicy and Musk.

Taken together Higher Black holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best judged in wear.

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
Low (1 to 2 hours)
2
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
Extremely inconspicuous

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.
