During the early 1990s, I bought my single bottle of Fahrenheit cologne by Christian Dior. I liked it very much but when the bottle was empty I didn’t restock the parfum; the world was rich in fragrances which I wished to own and there was no time for repeats with the same perfume. In preparing to evaluation Fahrenheit, Choice to go back to Fahrenheit. It was a pleasant reunion.

Fahrenheit was introduced in 1988 and became a runaway hit world wide; it experienced one of the most successful initial several-month revenue of any fragrance launch up to that time. (It beat the earlier winner: Poison.) As outlined by Dior, Fahrenheit sold 1.4 million bottles in Oct-12 of 1988 in European union only (Poison had distributed 1.2 million bottles from the first 90 days of its 1985 Eu introduction.) (through Women's Wear Daily, 2/13/1989)

Fahrenheit’s detailed compounds are hawthorn, bergamot, patchouli, sandalwood, violet, nutmeg, cedar, honeysuckle and tonka bean. Florasynth perfumer Jean Louis Sieuzac produced Fahrenheit, and also at introduction, Maurice Roger, the president of Parfums Christian Dior, was quotes in Women's Wear Daily (9/9/1988): For a few years the males's parfum market has been flooded with cypress or fern ingredients boosted by cocktails of aromatic notes - compounds of lavender,sage, rosemary, etc. Roger mentioned Fahrenheit was built on a instead floral concept, however a regular girls's floral like jasmine. Honeysuckle is actually a rather wild, all-natural floral. My observation from the market place was that there are many of similar fragrances dependant on Mediterranean cocktails. If you ever test out each of the recent introductions, you can find quite similar propositions.

What a idea: a perfume house wishing to produce a thing unique, different things from that which was Christian Dior Fahrenheit readily available! Monsieur Roger - je t’aime.

Fahrenheit’s scintillating, but fleeting, flower starting causes an unusual, longer-lasting nutmeg-violet accord. This peculiar accord is hard to explain; if you ask me it smells like an oldtime wooden telephone pole sprayed with dried tar! In Fahrenheit’s last stage of progress, ‘dusty’ cedar and sandalwood and muted patchouli produce warm and dry fragrances that help remind me of a place where soil, gravel and chapparal bake under a summer sun. Each one phase of Fahrenheit can be a enjoyment to smell.

Although Fahrenheit has existed for pretty much 30 years, it smells “fresher” (more sophisticated) and better than a lot of men’s perfumes developing today…well-known or niche.

I seriously love Fahrenheit 32. Once again, it's like nothing else available on the market.

Soon after my first date with a certain guy, I had to get to the nearby mall the very next day simply to get my nose on this once again. Once the SA sprayed the card I just closed my nose and inhaled… it had been the hottest thing I had ever smelled. I think I smelled that card more times that day, I looked to scent it on him again. Fortunately personally I get to smell it every morning of my life, on my husband, when he kisses me good-bye and goes off to work. 17+ years and I still get weak when I smell it. That's a fantastic aroma!
