Dior Higher Energy EDT in detail
Higher Energy EDT comes from Dior. This one is the Eau de Toilette.
Is Higher Energy long lasting?
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Armaf Club De Nuit Iconic and Chanel Bleu De Chanel last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like cedar and vetiver are the part that stays longest on the skin.
For work or for evenings
