SmokyWhat does Higher Energy (2026) smell like?
Grapefruit and juniper berry give it a cool, fruity edge. Spices, incense and absinth add a smoky side to that freshness, while patchouli, vetiver and woods bring an earthy, creamy woodiness.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few people have voted, so those ratings are tentative. It reads masculine and suits anyone who likes clean, spicy scents with a hint of smoke. Angela Ciampagna Aer and JAR Parfums Shadow have a close profile.
