What does Higher Energy (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with pineapple, grapefruit, melon, juniper berry and mint, which give a cool, juicy fruit feel. In the heart, nutmeg, pepper and frankincense bring spice, and in the base vetiver, sandalwood and cedar settle it into a dry, woody line. The synthetic accord adds a clean, modern tone.

Both longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure, business and sport, with evening far behind. It reads masculine and modern.
