لا شيء كامل
العطر جميل الافتتاحية هي الاجمل
ستستذكر معها بعض العطور
..
عنده البخة الاولى
يخرج رجل اشبه بالمجنون
المصروع .. كمن هرب من
مصحة عقلية ..!!
..
تقلبات سريعة جداً
فرحة تتلوها خيبة امل
و سعادة لحظية يتبعها حزن
عطر مضطرب المزاج
سعيدٌ و غاضب
..
بعد كل هذه الضجة
بين الضحك و البكاء يرسو العطر
على وجه رمادي
ليس بابيض و لا اسود
لحضات صمت .. ليظهر
بعدها هوية ديور ..!!
ديور اوم بين السبورت و الكالون
والكثير الكثير من الفلفل الاسود
..
هي الظلال
التي يختفي فيها هذا المجنون
بعدما جلس خجلا بعيداً
بعد هالة الهلع تلك ينحني
على نفسه .. حتى يختفي ..!!
..
لحظات مجنونة تشبه الاعوام
مرّت سريعاً ..
هكذا تشعر بها عند استذكارها

العطر فريش سبايس
جميل للصيف ..
لحظي يكفي منه فقط
ان يمنحك القليل من الطاقة
و المرح ثم يذهب

Unfortunately, it’s almost a terrible fragrance. I expected a light fruity-spicy-woody summer scent, but all I got is hardcore pepper and nutmeg notes… Nothing other. The opening is beautfiul with the pineapple, melon, juniper and mint, but 10 (!) seconds and fade away. The next 3 hours just pepper, pepper, pepper and nutmeg. As I said nothing other. The base is pleasent, but very powerless… I can sniff some vetiver and maybe a bit of sandalwood (and pepper, pepper, pepper…). This is not a summer fragrance, this is a spicebomb. I am so dissapointed… who wants to smell like pepper? Not worth the money.
– Spicy scent for autumn.
– sillage is better then average, but longevitiy is moderate, max. 5 hours.
– try before buy

NetGude – :
It’s nice to finally sample Dior Higher Energy, a purportedly fresh and sporty take on the more provocative, earlier Higher, which is now discontinued and I’ve not sampled.
Higher Energy is quite reasonable in most respects as a designer freshie, balancing freshness and being quite pleasant and agreeable with some degree of provocativeness. Pineapple and grapefruit are familiar opening contributors, while juniper and mint spike up the mix a bit. The fragrance dries down into a heart of incense and pepper, giving way to a base of what comes off to me as sandalwood, musk, and perhaps cedar.
It’s not specifically very masculine but perhaps leans slightly masculine with the inclusion of the pepper and incense, specifically, but it’s a quite pleasant unisex freshie fragrance overall, more ideal in composition for warm weather but also due to performance, which isn’t great, with mediocre projection and longevity.
Pricing is fair at $55 for 100ml on FragranceNet. I don’t see any standard retail sources (like department stores) still selling it, so Higher Energy seems to be confined other retail sources (i.e. Walmart, vendors) and the secondary market.
One I’ll likely try to acquire as, if I had to guess, this too will be discontinued at some point.

chapai206 – :
It smells the soft combination of citrus and spicy. It is really fresh. It reminds me of Mont Blanc Individuel.
mampexora – :
It’s a beautiful scent but.. it’s just a nice masculine scent. Dominant grapefruit and juniper. I do not get strong pneapple or melon. And I get lavender from it even it’s not listed here. I like it but it’s not enough to buy it. The longevity is about 4 hours and the projection moderate for the first hour or so. Than it stays close to the skin. I recommend it mainly for summer days and nights.
wheence – :
another gem put out to pasture. i have just discovered it and i love it, but dont get much longevity out of it , if TF bottled this and called it amalfi costa grapefruit ,it would sell for £140 for a 50ml bottle i have no doubt ,ignore the cheap feel to the bottle and cap and just inhale .
diabolis_interium – :
It smell more like cheap deodorant that like perfume worthy such esteemed house as Dior. It is true both on my skin as well as sprayed on paper.
Longevity is above average, close to being long lasting.
I think it could be suitable only for Summer days, and only for wearing outside. And I also would tell it for younger people only, like under 30, 35 max. All it makes it one of the least versatile scents.
JapWeerge – :
Dior Higher Energy mi spiace per tutti i mastri profumieri che si sono espressi a riguardo delle note olfattive di testa io avverto solo il Pompelmo, nel cuore la noce moscata e solo labilmente il pepe alla base invece il legno di cedro ed i muschi fanno sentire forte la loro presenza.Personalmente un profumo senza infamia e senza lode da primavera/estate.
Sillage 6.5/10
Longevità 7/10
Profumo 5.5/10
scoundrel – :
To my nose it is a summer fragrance, with very bright and pronounced citrus and green notes, nothing too heavy but powerful, as @Jasper has pointed out. Juniper and pepper create a wonderful balance with the (very slightly) fruity and (more obvious) green notes. Gives me lots of joyful ENERGY every time I spray. Love it.
Oppomaron – :
This fragrance really gives off that summer poolside vibe. It captures that bright sunny vibrant colored mixed citrus and pineapple drink thing too. Its allot more sophisticated then just that and also more refreshing.
It has a nice vodka freshness in the mix as well.
A true summer fragrance that works great in hot balmy weather. You really can’t over spray this one too. Yah its safe… but manages to lean slightly sweet, fresh & sophisticated.
artem81_ – :
one of my top 10 a real sexy fruity fragrance with a wack of incense giving it a sensual nature that makes it a real sexy fragrance.i have been using this on and off since its first release.
overall aahhhhhhh…… gorgeous
bu-vika – :
Similar to Calvin klein escape.
Volos85 – :
There is a fuss that this is a “superb” scent, but to me the smell is just ok. The scent has a mild but lasting smell that is fresh, a bit green, with a tiny feeling that is caracteristic of some oriental scents. That’s not bad, but not great either; in fact is much more a common scent than anything else. Maybe I´ve tried so many scents already … Original Higher is better.
IvanObivan – :
If I’m not mistaken, back then in 2005, (bought for my husband) i remember how strong and powerful the projection was. Similarities of the old and newer batch are the longevity and the scent itself, but projection.
It’s more of a skin-scent now.
WhiteWOLF234 – :
Ok scent but not my favorite.
barycruzer – :
“Dior never releases perfume for hair-chested men”
Apparantly Fragrantica user K1 has never even *heard* of Fahrenheit.
mixas – :
No where near similar to Dior Higher, but also really good.
Fresh scent. The topnotes have a slight rubbery smell in it, which I really like. Furthermore it’s citrus, but not the regular stuff. When it dries down I get a warm, spicy and fruity-nice afterglow.
8,5/10
ppvxxx – :
To me – Dior Higher Energy is spicy woody aromatic. I didn’t read carefuly the notes in it, but first spray on my skin almost immediately reminded me of crushed juniper berries! Later on it gets quite aromatic – I guess it’d be nutmeg, not so sure about pepper. But when it dried down totally, it dissapointed me a little bit. I get no incense at all… Drydown of Higher Energy is an energetic load of grapefruit, at least on my skin.
And, basically that’s all what that fragrance is to me… I was expecting more incense, like this one in Bleu de Chanel, got something totally different. I guess it’s a good choice for spring and summer, but, sadly, it’s not what I’m looking for.
Longevity is average – about 5-6 hours on my skin, sillage is medium.
Maybe it’s not a total let down, but I think I’ll pass on this one…
alescha005 – :
Light, young, and quite expensive. Nutmeg and citrus notes are the most dominant to my nose. You can smell that it is good quality and it can be used on almost every occasion.
I kinda like it, but in the long run it becomes a little boring. Will probably give away the leftovers to someone who appreciates it more than I.
brook_1000 – :
Drydown smells like basil on paper (?), still not bad nice one, spicy and tangy.
6/10
javafobka – :
I loove dior homme and dior homme sport, haven’t tried dior homme intense yet. But I thought I’d try this and it wasn’t what I thought it would be. Very generic and didnt find anything special in it . It could be Adidas for all I know . Not pleased .
LIERRELTY – :
A fragrance that I absolutely love. It takes well to my boyfriend’s skin. It smells absolutely divine on him. A definite repurchase for those summer/ spring days
Abrarmenvence – :
i love this, it’s dior, and that is all i know…
sharp, citric, incense’y’, woody and spicy!
well, i do agree that nothing surprising about the smell,
it’s almost like many edts for men sold on the shelves with cheaper
price.
Leliki – :
HebaD’Opium, certainly a lady could! I have worn it for eight years now, and no one has ever questioned the femininity of this fragrance on me.
smol69 – :
I got this for my younger brother. It’s so fresh and ‘energetic’.
I identified the pepper, nutmeg, mint, incense, sandalwood and musk. I guessed that there was lemon but obviously it’s grapefruit.
The dry down for me has more pineapple and melon in it along with the musk that anchors this perfume and sandalwood.
It’s amazing, could be worn during the day all year long. It’s long lasting and the sillage is incredible.
I wonder if I could get away with wearing it hahahaha, will def update if a lady could wear this 😛
intenze – :
This one is nice,but the longevity is soso.
lancevich78 – :
This frag is good , the smell , the notes , but only thing lacking is longevity.10 mins or 30 mins with 4 sprays and it faints to black.
girosergey – :
I looove this fragrance, smell so critric and good,
9.50/10.
Асмодей – :
this to me is similar to euphoria men.. i like it!
bsn874InsuffBooni – :
A nose-stroking scent with a fabolous longevity.
Though there are numerous rivals for this platform of the scent, but yet it’s something distinctive and unique.
Initial phase starts up so fresh with a touch of zest of citrus and pinneaple with freshness of the mint. Not insulting or intense at all, considering the top phase. Really impressing and divine.
Very quickly the middle phase launches with spicy notes and a touch of bitterness. Again, a very cool cute scent.
The dry down notes are a feat, cool and still feeling a touch of bitterness, aromatic but you can feel spice there. To me, at this point, it’s close to it’s predecessor, Higher. Also feels close to Chanel Allure Homme COLOGNE Sport (2007), in the pepper and citrus aspects.
6 whiffs worked for over 10 hours on my neck. In the end it appeared close to the skin, but sensibly present. It’s mostly for day time, but nothing would go wrong wearing it at night: it has a bitter dark side also.
A great scent for the heat, specially spring time. It’s supposed to be Dior!
van1109 – :
Like other reviews said, it is hard to believe this is a Dior fragrance(heavy and potent), this one is really crisp and fresh with slight mellow sweetness with hints of floral and fruity. Projection quite linear across 3 notes, turning from light to lighter scent across the notes. It stay close to skin but still noticeable. It somehow remind me a mild version of CK Eternity (Lavender sweetness) cross with Truth (Green fresh).
Not bad choice for summer/ sport fragrance, except a short longevity. 6/10 from me.
mavrodinog – :
Found it and git it ! I was estranged from higher energy as all retailers were saying it has been discontinued… Don’t know if that’s the case but I just scored a 100 nl edt ! Of this fresh, happy, uplifting great juice. I don’t care if its too young for me 🙂 I like it. It is an energiser, far superior to boss energize since its a Dior ! Any how, I think its sophisticated and the best of the fruity woody fragrances around. It reminds me of something else.- some other fragrance – but cannot nail it right now. For those who have not tried it, its a ‘must explore’fragrance ! Recommended.
I don’t know for me it fulfills that ‘clean’ summer fragrance requirement which higher does not, so I am more inclined towards this.
Xeroxywuxi – :
A good, classy, fresh and spicy smell for a man. It smells sophisticated. I get the image of a man with a suit on at day time… the perfume to match it.
Memnb455JeomiWogkig – :
i just bought this, as i was looking for a summer-spring fragrance. i’ve read in a lot of reviews that this scent lacks sofistication, and would be more apropiate for teenagers.
as i smelled it i didn’t think of any teenager at all. i’d say it’s appropiate for a young man, but not a teenager. don’t base your opinion on a paper sample, try it on your skin; at first it smells rather common, but those are just the citruses on the opening notes. once you let it land, it will be like a flower blossoming; letting new peppery and musky smells arise.
not for winter, but i would recommend this fragrance to anyone looking for a nice spring scent. it’s true, it doesn’t scream out loud “i’m here”, but it really smells great when close to the person wearing it, and is not one more of those cheap spring fragrances like hugo’s or ralph lauren’s crap.
KristDreno – :
A muted version of Allure Homme. I had this for a few months and found myself using it more than my other fragrances. It whispers but you’re aware of it’s presence. The quality shines even when the note composition is minimalistic.
pokoinik9379992 – :
Very similar to Hugo Energise. Including the notes are very similar. Refreshing as an orange gum. The cost is higher than each of the Hugo Boss
Deroxqbscf – :
It’s hard not to love “Higher Energy”!
It is so bright, so cheerfull so sweet and uplifting!
A positive man with a bright smile that’s the person this perfume is made for.
Easily loveable and optimistic! And simple and gorgeous!
All boys should try this perfume and if you can’t afford it just go for its cheaper equivalent.
You know what’s that, don’t you?
“Of a man” from Body Shop, of course. 🙂
raimonsk1 – :
Higher Energy by Dior is a fragrance soft and sweet, gourmand notes in the opening as the melon and pineapple make it tasty, pepper and incense in the heart stronger, vetiver, musk and labdanum among others give a roundness syrupy.Ideal in spring and summer when the heat with his notes enhance.A my opinion looks like a Good Life by Davidoff, although the latter is more pungent. Reminded the outdoor parties with frozen drinks, smoothies fruit and ice cream, all on the edge of a huge swimming pool and fountains bright.
Dior never lets you ……
Very good to try.
nevareklm – :
Higher Energy is a light one. Definitely.
I had it as a gift, when I was 17. Good for that age, good for the summer.
But not nowadays. Wouldn’t buy it again. Too light and non-masculine scent.
PinatRy – :
A Slightly softer version of the original with a lil less similarity to other fragrances.
al1234557 – :
My BF had many perfumes but this was just too sweet for a man. I love Aqua di Gio, Gucci II., …but this one NOT
val52013048 – :
I didn’t like this at first, but I came to quite like this – it has a peppery, musky, vanilla “waft” to it – but fresh too! But as people have commented – it’s not very original, but, it is well blended. The sillage is very nice too, it sort of grabs your attention. I think it is similar to Allure by Chanel but this is more peppery. Higher Energy grows on you!
Luxifer – :
easy to wear, not offensive, very casual, but very common. It’s more of the same. I just got a miniature, look at it every day, and haven’t felt like wearing it for a while… maybe it lacks originality!
artermprank – :
I bought it, liked it and will keep it.
It is light, somewhat fresh, and is an excellent fragrance for the summer and casual wear.
dyxovik – :
Refreshes, uplifts you immediately. Very easy to wear, light but has a character.
Every Dior fragrance has some sort of refinement and originality even if other fragrances include many similar notes and this is no exception. Gets great compliments too.
A must sample if you look for a spring fragrance.
airin_6989 – :
I like how this fragrance smells on me. Not fruity at all. It is light and fresh and powerful at the same time. The green notes in it make this a refreshing scent I will reach on a hot and sunny day. The scent didn’t change when it mixed with sweat, which make this one good for wearing to the gym. A cold shower in a bottle!
evaspoireefe – :
OMG this fragrance drives me totally wild!! VERY VERY SEXY! my ex use to wear and on 1 occasion my jacket was nxt 2 him( not on him) and when i went bk home 2 sleep i just couldn’t as my room smelled of him! HYPNOTISING FRAGRANCE …!!! total lose control whe i smell it lol!
