Aromatic Woody The city spirit...
Top Note
PEAR: Native to Asia Minor, the pear tree grows in temperate
climates.
The scent of pear is used in fine fragrance for both mens and
womens compositions.
A pear skin note is also used on occasion.
As it is not possible to extract essential oil from the pear,
the note is reproduced in the laboratory, notably using the
headspace technique.
Pear harmonies are the basis for the top notes of Higher.
BASIL: Native to Asia, basil has been known and used for 2,000
years for its toning and refreshing properties.
A common ingredient of fruity chypre fragrances, its energetic
quality can also be used to intensify the zesty notes of a fresh
fragrance like Higher.
Heart Note
CARDAMOM: Grown in Cambodia, India and Guatemala, cardamom is
extracted by steam distillation.
It ideally complements eaux fraiches, woody mens fragrances and
chypre compositions.
A very contemporary scent, it can be found in the heart notes of
Higher.
Base Note
CEDARWOOD: Native to the United States, cedarwood essence is
obtained by steam distillation.
Its refined, noble aura makes it a perfect base note in mens
fragrances such as Jules, Eau Sauvage Extreme, Dune pour Homme and
Higher, as well as in the womens fragrance Dior Addict Shine, to
which it brings an intense, energetic quality.
