WoodyWhat does Higher (2026) smell like?
The top notes of basil and citrus fruits set a fresh, green tone. In the heart, rosemary, cardamom and pepper add a spicy edge, while the aquatic accord keeps it airy. White musk and cedar form a softer, woody base.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so that rating is tentative. Its fresh, aquatic build suits everyday wear. Its note and accord profile is close to Calvin Klein Truth Men (Eau de Toilette) and Calvin Klein Eternity for Men Aqua (Eau de Toilette).
