Higher (2001)
by Christian Dior

Pleasant and clean smelling frag with not much longevity for me. Unremarkable but not bad either. This gets lost in the sea of modern designers.

Since this isn't bottle worthy to me, there's no sense going through the accords.

A fruity three star scent which according to 'The Basenotes Says' info is:

"The latest male launch from Dior, 4 years on from Dune for Men. Desgned (sic) for the youth market, ( my guess is 14 year olds--or former users AdG which really amounts to the same thing ) this is very fresh ( what! The young are buying fresh scents at the mall? Stop the presses!) and has an eye catching bottle."

Still, I'd like to give it a thumbs up for ebullience ( um--did I spell that right?) it reminds me of Clinique Happy, Quasar and Paco's XS, only with pears. I'd like to but . . .

Nice for a fresh cologne. It smells refined, it really suits urban fashion. Great for a night in town. Great for students. It is fresh, but not generic, it is natural smelling, which you cannot find in fresh fragrances( Ozone Mist, Sea Scents- all of these are synthetic). Go ahead if you hate aquatics, but love fresh-chypre cologne.

Interesting to see all the complaints about the lasting power. Oddly this scent lasts on me fairly well; I have no complaints.

And I kind of like the juice in itself, too. I keep thinking I probably shouldn’t just because it’s not my usual style, but damn, this is one enjoyable scent.

Very happy and playful fresh juicy fruit notes. It turns more towards woods and musk in the drydown.

Well balanced refreshing juice. Nothing spectacular, it’s a “little” scent after all, but it is worth to try and let me say I have experienced admiration towards this one from some females too. And that has been a real rare treat for me, unfortunately.

Both Dior Higher and Higher Energy has a weak longevity, it stays on skin for about 10 to 15 minutes then with an open arms, it allows your body odor to take over.

However, speaking of fragrance accord, Higher offers a pleasant, light citrus opening, very refined and subtle, later on the fragrance evolves to something which is herbal fresh, spicy and woody. Yet, the herbal freshness is not like any other 'green' fragrance, its progress is beautifully controlled as it surface.

The bottle is beautifully made, simple yet truly an eye-catcher. IMO, the fragrance accord is wonderfully made, but considering that Higher is from Dior, a fragrance powerhouse, its weak longevity is totally unforgiven.

I was waiting not to like it,but I was wrong!Its a spicy dry fresh sweet long lasting scent.Also its strong enough to satisfy me,not like its "cousin" Higher Energy
that smells different (clean and better) but is very weak in compere to this.
Higher is Dior's spicy and a little sporty"child".Unique scent!
