The story behind the bottle.
Higher by Dior was launched in 2001 and crafted by perfumers Olivier Gillotin and Olivier Pescheux. This Woody Aromatic fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of pear and lemon, infused with the freshness of basil and rosemary. The heart notes introduce a delicate balance of peach and pepper, while the base layers of cypress, cardamom, musk, and cedar provide warmth and depth. The composition is designed to evoke a sense of uplifted energy and modern sophistication.
Apply Higher to pulse points for a subtle yet noticeable presence throughout the day. The fresh top notes will last around two hours before giving way to its warm woody base. It's best suited for daytime wear when the vibrant citrus and aromatic elements can shine.
