Dior Higher Energy in plain words

What it smells like, how it wears and who it suits.

What it smells like

It opens cool, juicy and bright with grapefruit and pineapple. A dry pepper spice follows in the middle, and the scent finishes green and woody, with vetiver adding a clean, dry backbone.

How it wears

Wearers find lasting power and projection moderate, with a subtle, transparent trail.

When to wear it

The perfume community favours summer and spring days, with the office as the named occasion. Some say it captures a poolside summer feel.

Who it suits

Suits a man who wants a crisp, refreshing, polished scent for warm weather. The pepper and nutmeg can feel prominent, and it is less suited to colder, dressier evenings.
