Higher

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!!!

This was the first designer fragrance I ever bought, so there is definitely nostalgia here at play. I bought it when I was 17. I finished my last bottle a decade or so ago, and I missed it so I found it for sale on a discounter site online. Originally this was released in 2001. The promotional advertisement showed a young man in a fighter jet. The marketing failed because as we know 9/11 sadly occured that year. This fragrance never really became popular due to the disastrous marketing promotion. It's a shame because this is a great fragrance. In North America, it was to be the first mainline fragrance for men since Dune for Men which came out in 1997. Higher was released and aimed towards a younger demographic. A couple years after this was released, there was a flanker called Higher Energy that was released. Sadly both were discontinued in North America in the mid 2000's, but are still available on Dior's UK website and online discounters. Dior Higher is a woody aromatic scent that is a very versatile fragrance for daily wear. It is fresh scent that is a bit spicy and woody. There is an interesting accord of pear and cypress. This is an easy reach for me when I don't know what to wear. It's great to wear at the office, or relaxing at home, even going out. I find the lasting power to be decent for a fresh scent. When I wear fragrances like this I am not expecting it to last 10-12 hours. It's a bright scent that makes me feel happy. It might not be the most unique scent, but I prefer it to a lot of the mainstream scents that all start to smell the same. An underrated gem!

Absolutely the most underrated Dior mens fragrance of all time! In 2001 my family and I moved to a large city in Mexico, and during those first days there, we went to a mall and I remember seeing lots of Higher ads displayed outside a large department store, it was the perfume of the moment. My dad bought it and it was his to go fragrance from 2001 to 2003. Since then I was in love with the scent, but it was later kind of forgotten when the Dior Homme line was launched. Almost 20 years later I had the chance of buying one of the first batches from this beautiful fragrance, the one I remember my dad wore, Aluminium bottle with the white plastic insert in the center. A very “new Millenium” aesthetic, which I absolutely adore. To me it’s exactly what I imagine a Dior model smells. There was I think this idea that perfumery, during those early 2000s years, was about simplicity and smartness in the use of ingredients. Higher is fruity, clean, musky...it’s all about the pear note, very realistic. Higher also has all the points to be a timeless fragrance: very wearable, all season, for every occasion but without being generic at all, you can over spray it and you won’t offend anybody and it can totally be worn today; all this is what makes it great IMHO. I haven’t tried the newer versions but this one has very good performance, projection is decent the first three ours, then in gets close to the skin, and longevity about 7-8 hours. Overall a 9/10

Bana kalsa standart süpermarket parfümlerinin kaliteli ve güzel bir versiyonu iken çevremdeki herkes için muhteşem, ferah ve güzel bir koku. Yaklaşan herkes kokuyu alıp "ay ne güzel bir parfümün var" demeye başlıyor. Klasik ve spor giyimi ayırt etmiyor. Ergen yaşlardan 40 yaşlarına kadar herkese gider. Hatta atleitik ve yakışıklı bir erkek için 45 yaşına kadar yolu var bence. Kötü yanı ise kalıcılık. Gün içinde bir kaç kez yenilemek gerekli. Yine de kokusu güzel, sevmeyeni çıkmayacak ve övgü olacağınız bir parfüm arıyorsanız öneririm. Sadece uygun fiyatta ve indirimde yakalayabilirseniz alın. Yoksa Türkiye'de pek çok kozmetik mağazasında 250-350TL arasında fiyatlar verdiklerinden o kadar parayı da vermeye değmez diye düşünüyorum. Ayrıca burada notlarındaki armut kokusunu hiç de hissetmediğimi söylemezsem çatlarım. O kadar da meyveli bir koku alamadım. Belki biraz biraz bekletirsem ve şişenin içine hava girdikçe koku kendine gelir. Çünkü nedense elimdeki parfümlerin ilk yarısını kullanıp içine hava girdikten sonra asıl karakterine büründüklerini farkettim. Zaten ben de yeni aldığımda değil, şişenin yarısını görünce beğeniyorum kokuları. Not : Yorumlarımı ve özel mesajlarıma cevaplarımı sadece Türkçe olarak yapacağım. Böylece yabancı dil konusunda sıkıntı yaşayan arkadaşlara gerçekten denediğim parfümlerdeki kendi görüşlerimi paylaşmayı amaçlıyorum.

A very light and fresh, summer/spring fragrance with very moderate projection and low duration, but nice nonetheless. I get a very sharp anise opening that fades quickly into some woody fragrance which incredibly fades into a sweet layer of peach or melon and a very present ambergris that gives it some tingle on the nose (most probably ambroxan). I think it's the inspiration for this year's YSL Y Eau De Parfum, but with a less sharp ambergris than this one, as it has very similar notes. I'm rediscovering this one totally by chance, as I've found a half full aluminium bottle from the original 2001 edition in an old cabinet in my house which was forgotten or misplaced or go figure how it ended there. I wasn't much into frags back then so I didn't pay too much attention to it being missing but I'm glad to have found it back. As other reviewers have said, performance is meh at best, 2 hrs to turn into a skin scent, needs some overspraying to get more out of it. Need to retest it properly on clothes. Wouldn't buy it again, so glad I have still half a bottle to burn.

Higher was one of my favourites in the noughties, it was the first masculine perfume released under Slimane's era, targetted to a young, fresh, minimal and urban audience. I have taken longer than 15 years to repurchase a vintage aluminium bottle, and well, it is still an interesting fragrance, an unusual fruity masculine with an spicy-green character... but after this time something in its formula puts me off... Several months wearing it and now I know it is due to the peach note, totally out of control, rottenly sweet, even uncapable to be balanced by the plethora of green and spicy notes: basil, rosemary, cypress, cold spices. Still the fruity and woody pear accords are memorable and overall this fragrance is one of a kind so I cannot stop thinking if that peach note is responsible of Higher's not being the great classic it should be. I have also checked the new crystal bottles now in stores and the feeling is exactly the same: a Higher fall from grace. Ignore my opinion anyway... run to experience Higher for yourself before it is too late.

A very well done fragrance with a fantastic use of basil and pear. The basil is so fresh and tingly that I totally see how this fragrance could smell reminiscent of a chlorinated pool (and I don't mean that in a negative way at all). The pear is very mellow but still fresh, and is just gorgeous against the basil. The whole fragrance smells extremely natural – not synthetic at all. This fragrance gives off the impression of a feisty, charming, adventurous young man far back in the Middle Ages, maybe Robin Hood or Link from the Legend of Zelda. It feels perfectly appropriate for jaunting around the woods, saving princesses, and slaying goblins with your bow and arrow. In the interest of keeping this review from getting too nerdy, I will just say that Higher is a great scent, and is a completely different kind of spring/summer fragrance for a man.

I'm really surprised by how much I ended up liking this. The majority of the time I go back to older fragrances that are beloved, I see why people have grown attached to them and have strong positive feelings for them but I find that a lot of the time the DNA is just a bit old-hat and that there are more exciting avenues to explore but with this one...it's just so good. It's beyond reproach. Chanel and Dior are of course the top of the pyramid as far as designers so I shouldn't be too surprised but I don't think this has lost any luster. Can easily be a signature scent for office or casual. Incredibly handsome and natural smelling. Edit: Too funny...I just looked at the notes after writing this and I just assumed the fruit here was melon. Like cantaloupe to be exact. It says peach, pear and lemon. I get cantaloupe, basil and musk.

I'm not at all into fresh nor fruity fragrances, but the way these were done in the early 2000's hits completely different. This is the only 'freshie' I own in my collection because unlike most in that category, this one does not feel generic. Whereas nowadays' most hyped fresh fragrances go borderline sweet with screeching fruity top notes on heavy ambroxan bases, this however represents the other end of the spectrum: it's original and well-blended, with subtle fruity/aromatic top notes on a woody/musky base. I'd agree this to be one of the most underrated Dior mens fragrances, if not the most. It was kind of forgotten with the Dior Homme line being launched a few years after. The vintage aluminium bottle with the white plastic square in the center has very good performance. No-brainer spring/summer scent.

Higher Dior An underrated Dior Classic from 2001, discontinued. Higher should still be available in some discounters and fragrances warehouses. It opens with a melon like lovely fruitiness from the pear, peach and lemon, smelling nice and fresh. The opening is pretty short-lived on my skin as it goes herbal spicy fast with the cypress, rosemary pepper and a prominent basil. Higher is rather soft in terms of silage and projects just for the wearer and stays as a strong skin scent for a number of hours. Higher has somehow stayed under the radar due to the market's numerous sports fragrances releases during the 2000s, similarly for the Higher Energy flanker. Despite this, it's still a good scent and profile to visit as scent profile of modern day designers aren't similar.

It’s fruity but masculine. One of the first fragrances I bought and I always buy it again after running out. It’s not old fashioned but it’s not modern or sweet. It’s pretty expensive but it’s worth the cost in my opinion. It’s intoxicating and tempting to overspray but a little goes a long way, even in winter. Probably better suited to summer but I wear it year round. Pear and I don’t know what else but whatever it is it compliments the pear. I think it’s unisex. Safe and inoffensive but still striking and stand out. I’m surprised more people don’t know about this. I always considered that a good thing but it probably means it’s soon for the chop like most of my favourite fragrances. I really hope not though. Underrated beauty!

Got a gift set on eBay, unbelievably cheap, even it were only the fragrance. A blind buy but I'm very happy I went for it. My first impression was, I sprayed a glass of Bloody Mary on me. Basil and spice are prominent on my skin / to my nose. Pear? - I don't know how the pear note is supposed to smell in perfumery, pardon my ignorance here. But I really love the scent. It's very warm indeed, nothing too much, a very wearable fragrance. The drydown is more fruity / powdery. almost floral (but very subtly so). Extremely pleasing on every level. To my nose, the Higher shares DNA with Dior Higher Energy. The latter is like Higher but with a few more citruses squeezed into each bottle.

Really good unique fragrance. Preety versatile, but i recommend it more for the summer. Really masculine, nothing super sweet, nothing super bold and loud, thats exactly how i like it. Yeah, smells kind of like 2003, but definitely nothing your grandpa or even dad would wears in his 20s. Very safe and very hard to dislike, so it is not a extreme compliment getter, but to school/work, it definitely wont hurt and girls would like it. I dont recommend it as a blind buy tho, may not suit everyones taste, and it is 110bucks here, which is a lot. It is not versace eros, so it wont last 12 hours and people wont smell it from 10 feet away - but i take that as a plus.

Dior Higher used to make me feel neat, confident and elegant... it's unique, fresh, cooling like putting your head in the freezer... it fits in all situations... can be the perfect formal scent for the office... versatile & timeless 🤍... I love the original white/grey bottle "case" It was super modern before they changed it to this transparent bottle which is simpler & ok. I think the closest fragrance to this is Lanvin Sport... the same vibe... I would say 70% similar but more focused on the black pepper, herbal sage and lavender... OTH higher more focused on the green aromatic notes... both are great but higher is classier.

This was my dad’s signature for so so long and reminds me of when I was about 4-5 years old. I just bought it today and it genuinely brought a tear to my eye. Will always be a 10/10 from nostalgia, but if we are strictly taking perfume-wise, it’s still a very very strong 9. I would genuinely wear it over 95% of everything else I own. Perfect for spring and summer, better for daytime too. I will HIGHLY recommend this to anyone wanting something unique especially for the current time period, as it’s filled with overly sweet stuff that I’m not the biggest fan of. So unbelievably good.

I heart Dior Higher. love love love love absolutely adore love this cologne definitely in my top five. Its about what I want so I will go with my heart Starts out soapy like Calvin Klein Truth and Irish Spring Icy Blast soap opening but even more fresh then dries like Tommy or herbal base but still clean. Imagine you are a 19 year old young man in Paris with a cigarette and u wear only high fashion debutante clothes! So damn classy. So poetic. Probably my signature scent been thru three or 4 bottles now I can't find it nowhere! Dont discontinue please!

I've been using this fragrance for 3 years. I really like it (I could say that I'm a bit addicted to it), it's a beautiful scent for younger audience, really fresh and aromatic. It's like a fresh, cold lemonade on a hot summer day. I really do recommend it for summer and spring too. The only thing that upsets me is the price, but I will buy it over and over again. It's a hard to find fragrance in shops so you cant really smell it before buying but if you have the chance you should try it before buying it, I don't recommend blind buying this fragrance.

Dior Higher .... Fast and Fresh Higher is a linear cologne with pear fruit and sexy green watery smell to it, there is a natural quality to the smell and it’s amazing. The smell provokes energy clean confident handsome man . Many women find this scent is very sexy fresh aquatic and I get asked a lot what is your scent ? Fresh ..... yes Clean ..... yes Cologne ... yes masculine .. yes Pear tree .... yes Green .... yes Watery .... yes Tennis player ... yes Scent 9.6/10 Dior Higher .... Let Her Admire

I saw reviews on Fragrantica and went to try it out. It was meant to be a gift for a friend. It's not the traditional men's fragrance, with all the thick musk scent going on. First sprayed, the scent was fresh and light, just like after a quick shower. It can easily be accepted, even by guys who aren't familiar with fragrance. So much better than Higher Energy. But sadly the airport I was at only sold Higher Enerygy, guess I'll have to buy it for my friend somewhere else.

So I had to try this again in the aforementioned Sephora. The weather is quite warm and humid today; rain is being forecasted for tomorrow. When I first smelt this winsome cologne, it was off a strip—this time around it was off my arm. It's slightly pungent and ethereal. In my mind's eye, I can see the vast ocean facing Higher, whilst a cold gin tonic finds itself in a tall-frosted glass calmingly resting on a table.

I am underscoring what Biantrek85 said: This exudes joy, sophistication, and a good-humored confidence. I suppose I will always want to own a bottle of this... I bought a backup almost as soon as I started using the first one. Really can't grasp people finding this boring or generic--fruity scents can go so over the top but the grounding of the cypress and pepper really makes this more memorable to me.

Dior Higher is a great fresh scent with a unique pear+cypress combo. Funny enough, this fragrance is more modern and interesting than when it came out. At the time, fresh aquatics sport flankers were dominating the market and this one kinda felt generic in a way. today it seems refreshing and uplifting. A classic that Dior have kept in their catalog fortunately. Nice, masculine, fresh, unique.

I bought this when it originally launched in 2001 when I was living in Germany. It has since been my signature scent that I wear when I'm looking to really impress whoever I'm with. I cannot express how wonderful and fruity and classic this smells. It's hands down my favorite Dior fragrance and in my top 10 list of all time. I'm just sad that its difficult to find anymore stateside.

One of my favorites. The first time I sniffed this one I thought: "surf dude-stuff", not for me. Turns out that this is for me after all, even though I'm not a surfer. I just had to get used to it. Fresh, aromatic fougere, original. The topnotes are quite green to me and the basenotes remind me of a fresh forest, all mossy and woody. 8,5/10

My father's all year around signature scent for the past 20 years and i've bought it for my self a couple of times as well. The best fresh high quality clean versatile fragnance. Dressed up or dressed down. An all ages gentleman's scent. Obviously the performance of the old white/silver bottle was better but it's still doing very well.

I'm getting a hint of celery in the opening. Not a real culinary celery, but more of a crisp, cold celery vibe. I was afraid this would be your typical fruity pear masculine from the early 2000s, but the rosemary and cypress elevate the composition. Typical Dior quality, although it seems to fade to a skin scent quickly.

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.

Oh I do love the original version of Higher and that funky metal flacon. They really should’ve kept that. It was as distinctive and iconically millennial as Rush for Men’s white plastic box. In my mind it is a memory trigger forever associated with the first years of the new millennium. Fresh, crisp, optimism.

Higher is one of my favorites in hot summer nights, as it loses roughness and bitterness. Cypress and rosemary are the most prominent notes, they develop little by little. Peach and pear are not detected (sadly). It becomes so particular and unusual on me as to be asked: what perfume are you wearing? LOVE LOVE

Totaly masterpiece. To me, this is the best Dior ever. The pear note is so well mixed that you wont believe. This one is the best summer fragrance alongside with ligh blue intense. Huge compliment getter.. Just a little expensive, but its a dior after all.Sexy as hell also...

Amazing fruity scent, very green, too. After I got it, I was immediately struck by realization that it very closely reminds me of Hugo Boss XY that I happened to have on my shelf. I compared the two - amazing similarity, with some minor differences. Love both frags.

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.

qualidade Dior,hipnotizante...marcante mesmo sendo sutil,aroma muito agradavel,leve e elegante,casual,classico e moderno...só poderia ser Dior e sua infinidade de perfumes bem elaborados. projeta pouco e fixa mediano é verdade,mas nao perde sua qualidade por isso.

To me this is unisex perfection. Classy, easygoing and so long lasting. It morphs a little during the wear but not too much. The fruit is delightful but it’s not “fruity”. I guess what sets this apart to me is how well balanced it is. Checks a lot of boxes.

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.

Hands down this is the best men perfume ever! The beginning is so clean with sophisticated dry down that last 8++ hours. Spent maybe 4-5 bottles during my 29-35 yo. Its just too bad that this gem is discontinued.

I love love love love love love this scent!!! I went thru 3 bottles of this easily.sorry but i dont even feel like explaining it I just could go on all day long!!! I want another bottle!

I love it. very fresh and lovely. you can smell 3 notes clearly but unfortunately i cant find it in tehran جدا فوق العاده س از کارهای بی نظیر دیور اکه پیداش کردین توخریدش شک نکنین

More sophisticated than Sauvage. Mature. Office Scent, as well as for going on a walk. So.. 1. Sauvage for crowd 2. Higher for solo 3. Fahrenheit for Dad

I agree its projection is moderate.but one of the best scents.coolllll fruity totally 7.5/10 projectin6/10 longtivity 6.5/10 sent 9.5/10

Underrated classic! A staple of fresh masculine scents. Gentlemanly but youthful I love it!

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

They Say It's Been Discontinued In Production, They Only Produce (Higher Energy) Now

this is one of the most underrated perfume. i still find this dna sexy. 9.5/10

MUST HAVE PERFUME, I absolutely agree with @missk

the perfume , one can buy blindly

maybe the most easygoing, effortless, relaxing dior fragrance ever. higher opens with peach and pear, then cedar, musk and a very nice cyrpess are more prominent in the drydown. a fresh-woody smell, a bit sour, very clean and pleasant. in the summer is a great pick, it gives to you an uplifting, invigorating sensation with the class and quality of dior. i would like to drink this juice! on the other hand the price and the performance are not so good. i found a vintage, brand-new 100ml bottle for 30euro in a local store, because they are selling out all the stock of dior higher(it didnt sell good where i live in). so im happy for this bargain, but i cant recommed it with the full price. in my opinion u can turn to dunhill icon, it doesnt have the quality of higher but it smells very good, the performance is better and the price is cheap. the longevity and sillage are absolutely below average. it's a shame because i love the smell, really. for 25 and up, for warm seasons, daytime, casual situations and office. un profumo fresco, rinvigorente, con la qualità di dior. peccato che la performance sia pessima. scent-8 long-5,5 sillage-5,5 uniqueness-7,5 bottle-6 versatility-8,5 compliment factor-7 rebuy?no my vote-7,5 in one word- easygoing the review is based on a vintage bottle. dont know if the clear bottle is a reformulation and if higher is discontinued.

Bubble bath! That was the first thing this scent reminded me of...I remember trying it years ago and have been looking for it ever since. Unfortunately, I can only find it at very select Dior counters and I had feared it had been discontinued but luckily I have had a chance to revisit it and I'm so glad I did. Really fresh, musky, sort of vibe quite minimalistic and very reminiscent of the recent Juliette has a gun, Anyway and from yesteryear Tommy Hilfiger. Top summer juice this one might have to endulge later in the year. UPDATE: 08/07/21 Well, it's been a long time since I even penned the comments above, let alone first tried this fragrance. When did it even come out? Regardless, it smells of the 90's to me. I wearing it today and I get the usual, faux pear/apple, Matey bubble bath, basil, effervescent pop! (perhaps) aldehydes and musk. It's the trash of a decade or two ago, which in today's climate is a breath of fresh air frankly when you think about the Ambrox and cloying bubblegum depth charges which are out there.

Aluminum bottle in hand: Upon first spray, Dior Higher struck me as so laughably generic yet so high quality, I couldn't help but bewilderingly huff my wrist for the next two days. Three days in, I must eat crow and tip my hat: What Dior brings with Higher isn't novel, but it's done with a balance and smoothness so exceptional it reinvents this fruity-aromaric genre to be interesting all over again. Dior's 90s-00s masculine summer freshies, including Higher and Dune Pour Homme, have proven to be a wonderful change of pace from today's ambroxan-dominant or candy-sweet designers. They exude joy, sophistication, and a good-humored confidence. Standing in the year 2025 and looking back over the mountains of empty Bleu de Chanel, Sauvage, and Versace Eros bottles, Dior's previous generation stands as appreciable art. Come summer, I look forward to wearing the hell out of this. Performance is perfect. 2-3 sprays to the wrist and neck get you all-day performance. More would likely be too much for the office.

First bought this when it came out back in early 2000’s. It had the metal encasing. I absolutely LOVED this fragrance. Higher and Acqua Di Gio were my first five fragrances and what got me hooked. I loved Higher more than ADG however. Such a wonderful spring/summer fragrance. Around that time, I started impulse buying fragrances at the malls and I owned around 15-20 in a matter of a few years. So why is that relevant? With 15+ fragrances that I’ve owned, Higher is one of two fragrances that I actually managed to empty. I sprayed it so damn much because it smelled so good to me. I’d pick this over anything else at that time. Not sure what it’s like now. The scent was great. I’m sure the longevity is horrendous by now. Considering it must’ve been reformulated countless of times. I’d say it’s a great blind buy for 18-30 years. It’s cheap and smells good. Good for people just getting started with the frag game I’d say.
