Higher
Eau de toilette – Woody and citrus notes
Created in 2001 by Olivier Gillotin and Olivier Pescheux, Higher expresses a refined, urban masculinity. Vibrant and subtle, its trail blends spicy and fruity notes with woody notes of cedar and musk. The Dioriginals collection brings together the House of Dior’s emblematic signatures, restored by Francis Kurkdjian, Perfume Creative Director. He set out to recover the fragrances’ original formulas, presented in the 1948 bottle that once housed Christian Dior’s first iconic creations.
The fragrance
The sophisticated freshness of woods
Through its refreshing and spicy aromatic composition, Higher reflects the new, rock-inspired urban elegance that took center stage under the artistic direction of Hedi Slimane. Citrus notes and a basil accord reveal a vibrant heart of rosemary, pepper and cardamom, underscored by a cedar and white musk accord.
A word from the perfumer
Restoration of olfactory masterpieces
“Just as one takes care of a delicate work of art, a fragrance needs to be cherished. Just as one revives the luster and colors of a painting, the raw materials of a fragrance must be restored to preserve their quality, brilliance and nuances.”
Francis Kurkdjian, Dior Perfume Creative Director
The collection
At the heart of Dior heritage
The Dioriginals collection brings together 13 emblematic signatures that have shaped the olfactory heritage of the House of Dior and made their mark on the history of perfumery. The fragrances have been restored by Perfume Creative Director Francis Kurkdjian, who is dedicated to reviving their original radiance and luster. This is a journey through 80 years of fragrance, from classic icons by Edmond Roudnitska to more recent creations.
The ‘Oval’ bottle
The Dioriginals are presented in the 1948 ‘Oval’ bottle, which housed them from their earliest beginnings. It is now adorned with a pared-down, textured label reproducing the oval design with a metallic ring, finely striated and engraved with the “CD” monogram.
