Higher Energy by Dior was launched in 2003 and was crafted by perfumers Carlos Viñals and Natalie Gracia-Cetto. The composition opens with a fresh spicy accord featuring juniper berries, pepper, and nutmeg, creating an invigorating start that transitions into the heart notes of pineapple, grapefruit, melon, and mint for a vibrant fruity freshness. The base layer includes cedar, vetiver, oakmoss, sandalwood, musk, and labdanum, grounding the fragrance with woody warmth and depth.
The result is a dynamic scent that balances energy and sophistication, reflecting Dior’s French elegance while embracing modernity.
