Higher Dior for men

This is an amazing, amazing fragrance! It's one of those Dior fragrances that are often kept in the dark. Dior Higher just needs more recognition, more fans to come forward and speak of their love for it.

Dior Higher is the scent of a sexy man. Think of a toned and tanned male swimmer; the faint smell of chlorine lingering on his skin, intermingling with the scent of his fruity hair gel and smeared sunscreen, and there you have Higher.

Pear is not a note you smell a lot of in masculine fragrances. I'm quite enjoying this unique, fruity spin on things. If I were to describe Dior Higher in fragrance terms, it's a slightly clean and fruity scent, with an odd oceanic and herbaceous approach.

When you first spray Dior Higher, you think you've got it all figured out. In the initial stages it may strike you as bland and insipid, but do wait it out. Dior Higher gets better as the fragrance progresses. It has an alluring heart of rosemary, peach, pear, cypress and basil, which can't be explained in words, it has to be smelt.

Dior Higher is really quite complex, which was not what I expected to find in such a boring bottle as this one. It's a fantastic, fresh daytime scent, which to my nose, stands out a mile from other citrus based colognes on the market today.

It's hard to categorize Dior Higher, as it is clean, aromatic, herbaceous, aquatic, fruity, citrusy and woodsy all rolled into one. I urge every man to give it a whirl, as you may be pleasantly surprised.

How do they do it, man? How? :))

Dior is the best. every Dior fragrance is perfect on my skin.
Higher is very fresh/sexy/playfull/fun.
I get pear a lot, which I love in the begining and it after an hour or two i get something woody.


longevity =about 6 hours on me.

its a good one, this is a nice fragrance for the summer. smells clean i get a lot of compliments with this one

first time i smelled this, i thoght of pear juice, and it's nice. after few minutes (5-10) spices and in the end, some woods. Very nice, if u see it on stores, try it.

the only cologne ive bought 3 times. when i was younger this was my signature scent. till this day it still amazes me and reminds me of my teenage days in high school. only of the best fruity men's cologne that is not too fruity and not too musky....just the right balance. i fucking love this one till this day.

I bought this way back in 2000 simply because I like the architectural design of the bottle. (Bottle? Please don't mind on my vocabulary)

The scent? Pear at its best. You could smell the pear notes along with aromatics especially basil with subtle rosemary notes. It's very fresh, light and airy. Nothing smells synthetic at all.

I dare say that Higher has the weakest silage compared to all other Dior perfumes, but it's longevity is great. It lasts for 10+hr on my skin. I have purchased another 100ml in 2012, the juice is now in a clear glass bottle, just like Higher Energy.

This smells very much of cypress at first, quite harshly green, but after a while, quite a longtime, it does evolve dramatically and does smell very sipcy, although by then it is much softer (less strong) than in the opening. I do not like the opening nor the first two hours more or less of it, but do find the spicy drydown quite interesting, because as for male scents I do prefer oriental and spicy scents. This scent's best quality is from my viewpoint the progression. Overall, nevertheless, it is far from being one of my favourites, and I actually do not appreciate it that much because of the green conipherous theme which does not appeal to my taste.

Good thing i still got a tester for this one. Classic and with Outstanding type of fragrance. The only problem is longevity maybe 2 to 4 hours and stays close to the skin. But hey, it's from the house of Christian Dior which i love the most.

One of the best ever i had in my life. I still remember a middle aged woman who was actually quite shy saying me that you smell gorgeous. Just wanted to run away from the shop.lol.

A light but very persistant smell. Delicate and flowery and almost too feminine to my nose now. I bought this in my twenties and it fell out of use. Not offensive since its subtle but I found since its so light it is easy to over do-it, the projection is rather good. I regifted the cologne but kept the bar soap, which is a nice change up for business suits and the like, when wearing cologne would not be appropriate.

Higher Dior perfume is a very fresh and fruity, pear on all but a good dose of citrus very energetic, captures what this fragrance is a great feeling clean, but we are still far from Prada Homme.
It also seems to capture a vague note of incense, although there is, the arc of the fragrance unfolds without major upheavals, but keeping intact its unique fresh spring between gusts of wind and the sun play hide and seek with the clouds , this fragrance can give the best average in the warm seasons and in my opinion can be worn at all times, see the stadium for an event or simply to wait in line at the Post Office.
Good, but Dior has done even better.

My all-time favorite scent! Got this in Germany in 2001 when it first came out and have used 6-10 bottles since. It does fade pretty quickly, but it smells amazing and I haven't had a girlfriend that didn't think it was the best stuff ever! I am sad that it is no longer made, but thanks to the wonders of the Internet, it's readily available!

A very young, sexy perfume for boy. I dont like it, but cant think of anything bad to talk about. Maybe it just doesnt suit me.

I had this one back in 2002 when it came out, i liked it a lot very fresh very balanced, sweet and flowers for a man but what i remind of it a little bit too safe on the balance, i like those scents more naughty, this one is i need to resmell... to be continued

Very fruity scent here , Must be the pear -Its lovely ! and very unusual in a guy's scent .It does sit close to the skin on me but I enjoy wearing this one during the summer months .Its unusual enough for people to ask 'whats that your wearing?' & for that reason I keep it in my fragrance wardrode :)

I was, quite honestly, lost in the gorgeousness that greeted my nose upon smelling this, from the sample kristo so generously sent to me! I had tried Higher Energy in a spray sample from DIOR, but it was not exactly what I was searching for, HIGHER has met and exceeded my expectations. I grew up with bartlett pears trees growing all around our house and they have a very distinct cool green woody smell, the leaves are bitter and you can almost smell when the fruits are ripe in the air; DIOR has made a truly wonderful perfume built upon a "spine" of all aspects of the pear tree (blossoms, fruit, leaves and wood)...

I like "fruity" notes in perfume; but very often they get overly "plastic" (read: fake) or entirely too sweet. DIOR Higher is a very refreshing fruity perfume FOR MEN! The opening of subtle juiciness from peaches and crisp, somewhat dry and refreshing pears with a twist of citrus is done so elegantly, and the addition of warm basil gives this that summery "leafy" sun-warmed feeling. As it dries, I swear I can smell the cascade of the white blossoms that fall like a floral snowfall in late springtime. Somehow, a sharp juniper and piney green cypress blend with hints of ever so slight spices to create something neither too green, nor too "hot" or "loud". Parfums Dior has created something at once stunning and subtle, the delightful juxtaposition of summer fruits and pungent greens with both fresh herbs and dried spices and heavenly woody notes borders on the sublime! In the ultimate drydown, the "pear tree" note shines, covered and shining with a dew of very clean and sparkling musk; as the greens and woods and fruits all settle into a perfect olfactive portrait of childhood memories, sunny spring and summer days and a line of fruit trees bathed in sunlight. The wind blows their shiny dark green leaves and makes them laugh with joy. I can almost see, in my mind's eye, suntanned young boys; hungry, but refusing to go home and give up any of summer's valuable playtime, leaning against the trunks of these trees munching on the fresh fruit...and then throwing the cores at each other, playfully, before running off to have yet another "adventure". THIS may be the very best DIOR men's release I have ever smelled!

Sillage: good then closer
Longevity: very good
Overall: 5/5 A New Favorite!!

Upon reading this perfume's "notes" list, I knew this was gonna be awesome (C'mon...it's DIOR!) but I had NO IDEA just how wonderful! Usually, I usually like darker, heavier more "rich" scents with pungency and bitterness; HIGHER is almost the antithesis of these things: subtly sweet, just fruity enough and resplendent with heavenly woods and aromatic greens and a sheer, but sensual, kiss of muskiness. On continually re-sniffing my wrist...and continuing to inhale, exhale and inhale slowly; the scent becomes something even more cool and green with an almost balsamic aroma that never gets too heavy or tiresome. I AM, without a doubt, HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOOOOOVE!!!

dior higher can be classified as happy time fragrance, casual and easy going time. this is my second bottle and i like it very much. longevity is nit a problem. 6 hours on me.and luv pear wood

Imagine yourself taking a shower before you go out for evening and night with your friends, you need a Higher! This one illustrated a Dior man, extremely charming and sexy. Really pleasant sour and fresh opening that transforms to herbal and gourmand in a masculine way, intense but still pleasant. Second phase is sweeter and sharper but wait for its dry down and you’ll be knocked out! Absolute meaning of woody aromatic; a nice and neat divine blend of pear woods and herbs. I used to work on pear wood for my sculptures. It's nicely aromatic when you curve on it.
Higher is so chic and comforting, brings out all good moods and good life sense. You can wear it on formal occasion but maybe not so good for some ceremonies. Rather than sexy, it’s charming and alluring and its dry down gives aura.
Projection is horribly strong! It has great projection in dry down as strong as it was in opening! Bastard! Now I understand how it won the prize! It's still on my wrist after 4 hour and I can smell it from here while I'm writing my review, comprehensively.

scent 8/10
longevity 10/10
sillage 10/10

fresh,clean,pleasant smell,but nothing special,last few hours on my skin

It starts off smelling just like Tommy, and dries down smelling more like peach and lavender. The flavor and reminds me of a something my mum used as hand soap

Go by the majority vote and try it for yourself.

the perfume , one can buy blindly

The best fruity scent!! I like the pear smell

My favorite fragrance of all time, recently bought my second bottle, because it is that good. In the beginning, you can smell the pear and citrus notes, but dry down to a nice woodsy and spicy notes on the skin. great sillage, but some people find it too strong, and some of my friends complain that when i wear this, it totally overpower their colognes.

An EDT with a very pleasant smell of fine wood, quite soft and elegant aroma, middle and base notes of fresh wood.

One of those scents that are perfect for the warmer months. It is perfect for hot afternoons with flax clothes guayabera shirts. For every age range a little reminiscent of the elegance of Romance for Men by Ralph Lauren, recommended.

Hi.

One word for this fragrance YUMMY.from start to finish it is obvious a Light fragrance.Delicious similar strawberry ice cream!a UNISEX fragrance!

Fresh and soft.It brings me a image of a very young.for Everyday and Every special days in summer.in my opinion it brings composure to your face.

My complain is that is doesent last long on my skin but HD is still a LOVELY cologne for me.very casual and modern fragrance.

7/10

I actually think i have developed a fetish for pear fragrances. Men should at least have one 'fresh' frag. And i want at least one with pear in it. Higher made me covet and search pear perfumes. The pear and basil simply dazzles at the outset in this one. And there comes the downside... this does not last long, crescendoing into some powdery mist that has no character, sporty-ness or sensuality. I loved the top and mid notes of higher, but nothing else. Even spraying on clothes does not last long enough. So i filed for divorce and married Cerruti 'Image pour homme' instead. That also have an amazing pear swirl, with jasmine.

I love this Dior, very underrated fragance i think. light could be, but is very permanent, aromatic, natural and organic, many others fragances tried to be similar but Higher stand in other kind of line.


Minimalist fragance, lovely and unique.

I love it too, and I have it for 4 years,although I experience VARIOUS of the perfumes, but i come back to it,I dont think its for male , becouse when we bought it I liked the fragrance , and werent anything about men or women,my Boyfriend from 3 years ago love it and never told me this is not WOMANISH , when it remains on dress totally last the SOFT and smooth scent

Gorgeous scent!!! Surprising for Christian Dior, he does not always hit the mark with the scents but I love this one. Very romantic, kissable, kissable scent!

Very very nice smell... i really love it ... up-2-nw, is always a MUST in my collection :)

Delicious! It's fresh, but not citrusy fragrance, which I usually dislike. In my opinion, it consists on a mix of green, woody and spicy notes. I consider it stylish and fancy, even smells expensive. A good job by Dior... I only believe it could have better longevity, but sillage is great. It's noticeable and I got compliments from wearing it.

At first spray all you get a syrupy pear scent. Its linear stays the same from the first spray until the drydown. It also stays very close to the skin.

This isn't really a men's fragrance is it?
I tried it on yesterday at a local discount shop, where it was selling cheap. The packaging didn't disclose much, and while I should have guessed from the bottle which isn't really pretty enough to be a lady's perfume bottle, that it was a men's scent, I didn't put it together.

I sprayed. It was a light and uneventful little perfume. Floral. Not a single flower listed, but it smelled like white flowers to me. The lemon and pear were certainly discernible. It finished with a light clean fragrance, not unlike a laundry detergent.

There's nothing offensive about this. I might wear it on a summer's day if I came across it - but I'm not a man, and if I were, I'd want something that smelled a bit more masculine.

[****--] Still one of the best of the so-called urban scents wave of the early 2000s. Opens with subtle citrus and continues into Med spices and subtle grass almost. The musk at the end is very light. Lasts ok. Also has an 'electric' ozone-like touch like Davidoff Echo, in my opinion, although much lighter. This gives Higher a schizophrenic character between urban electric and outdoor greenish that actually works. Outstanding design.

I once dated a man who wore this and it was so sexy on him. I absolutely love the smell of a man who wears this fragrance.
