Fahrenheit Dior for men

I smelt this on a test strip a few weeks ago. I needed more time to write a fair review. Yesterday I applied three sprays to my wrist from the test bottle and went about my shopping excursion as usual.

I got the alluded to “gasoline” note in the beginning. I can relate to the robust, hairy, rugged, overall clad “mechanic” manly image that the opening delivers. I was patient, allowing the “burned rubber” and “motor-oil” to dissipate and the dry down to manifest its perceived glory. Then a complete twist unfolded. The pleasant floral notes appeared, the most predominant being a very familiar Violet. It is like the rugged man showered and applied a feminine scent under his hairy armpits. It hit me, this is nothing special. I felt a little let down after having such high expectations.

Overall, not a bad perfume, but in my opinion Fahrenheit is overrated. There was no “Wow!” I was not moved by this so called “masterpiece.” This “classic” did not cause the earth to shake. Perhaps it has been re formulated since its launch in 1988 and its subsequent heyday, I don’t really know.

For the little extra money demanded by the “quality” house of “Dior” I feel there is much better in the more modern bottles on the shelves today.

Fahrenheit has not “found” me, and I will not be “found” purchasing it. It gets one “degree” out of five.

Chapter closed.

You will either love or hate this fragrance. It is strong...reminds me of a forrest fire...intense burning woods. It burns my nose to smell it. If you are an arsonist it should be your signature fragrance. I actually like the smell of this but couldn't be around it too long so I don't know what the drydown smells like. The name and the bottle color are excedingly appropriate.

Pure motor oil for the first 2 hours. Then turns into a fresh floral scent that would be very familiar to many people. Not bad smelling but you won't be the only one wearing this for sure.

I really don't understand the allure of this fragrance. To me it smells like someone sprayed OFF in a service station.

Fahrenheit is a classic and unique until nowadays.
The top notes remind me gasoline and it's totally diferent from any other fragrance and in the dry down come the violet and vetiver doing a very good blend. Just trying to know how much it's good

It's hard to say where the current era of fragrances began exactly, but I'll wager 1988 to be the closest date. You could say that Green Irish Tweed (1985) kind of helped to usher in the current era, as it still smells modern as ever, but I feel like 1988 is when things really began to take off.

I mean, come on, Fahrenheit, Cool Water, Eternity, New West? All in the same year? Perfumers knew a change was on the way, and the 80's weren't even over yet.

Among the most influential fragrances launched in 1988 is Fahrenheit, which could probably be placed among the top ten most influential men's fragrances ever. For YEARS I disliked this one, and never really gave it a fair chance. The "motor oil" smell turned me off, which is strange, considering how I've always loved the smell of the gas station. Maybe it was the fact that I was reminded more of an oil-stained shirt.

However, I've been giving Fahrenheit more and more chances lately, and I'm finally starting to see why the stuff is so popular. First and foremost, Fahrenheit was the first fragrance after Grey Flannel to really utilize violet leaves. Green Irish Tweed used them, but that's more of an ambergris/verbena fragrance. Grey Flannel's violet accord is a bit too putrid, vegetal, and abrasive to my liking. Fahrenheit really smoothed out violet leaf, which is one of the most distinctive notes in all of perfumery. It can have green elements (grassy), fruity elements (think bananas or cucumbers), and oily-gaseous facets. Fahrenheit famously exhibits the oily-gaseous facets, and also features a prominent cardamom note, which is also pretty influential (cardamom, at least to me, has an apple pie kinda smell, and it dominates fragrances such as Paco XS and YSL L'Homme).

So, the central accords I get out of Fahrenheit are violet leaf, cardamom, nutmeg, and a warm, slightly rubbery leather. Something else that makes Fahrenheit unique is the weird balance of clean and dirty. Not only can it give off the aroma of warm, freshly-washed male skin, but the oily, rubbery, gaseous aroma also sticks out. Creating a balance like that requires a lot of talent that not even many fragrances today can replicate.

Fahrenheit CAN smell dated if too much is applied. I remember about a year ago walking into the restroom at the grocery store, and a gentleman walked past me wearing too much Fahrenheit. Even though this man looked be only in his early 40's, clean-shaven, with pristinely slicked-back hair, the overapplication Fahrenheit made him smell old and perverted. So, make no mistake, Fahrenheit IS a strong fragrance and it does last a while, but if you apply it just correctly, it can be a crowd pleaser.

I'd feel weird wearing Fahrenheit with a suit and tie. I find it more casual than anything else.

Finally, I'll touch up on the reformulation. As of 2012, Fahrenheit is on its fourth reformulation, with a recent box and cap redesign. Dior has been known lately for their pretty rough reformulations (Miss Dior, Diorissimo, Dioressence, Poison, and Eau Sauvage have been fucked up pretty badly), but Fahrenheit has managed to stay pretty faithful to the original. It's a lot sweeter than it used to be, with more cardamom, and a sweeter, less dirty violet leaf. My nose is VERY sensitive to violet leaf, and thus, I personally prefer the original formulation, in the box with solid contrast between blue, red, and gold. The current stuff is good, but I'd recommend the vintage... it can still be found. The vintage stuff is less sweet and more balanced.

Either way, I'm glad to finally have an understanding with Fahrenheit, and will probably end up snagging a first formulation bottle soon.

As a final note, Jean-Paul Guerlain has said that Fahrenheit is one of the few modern masculines worthy of being called a "masterpiece". With someone as legendary as Jean-Paul Guerlain saying that, I'd definitely take notice.

Once I read in a blog that this perfume chooses you and not the other way around. Damn! Was that guy right! I remember when I was a kid my uncle had it, even though I don't remember the smell of it, the bottle caught my eye. The years went by, and every time I went shopping for a perfume I always saw the bottle but never really cared to ask for a sample. Two years ago, I finally asked the sales person to give me a sample. I smelled it and thought ´´Wow, this smells awful´´, and did not buy it. Time went by and again, every time I asked for a sample to smell, damn! I couldnt stand it. Until last year, I was shopping and I saw the bottle again, and went for it, this time I didn't even ask for a sample. And wow! When I first tried it on me, the first things that came to my mind were gasoline, fire, hot, strong, sweat.... But after a few minutes, I really loved it. It is strong, very long lasting and it smells great on me. In a few words, it's a MAN'S perfume, it´s how a man should smell... It smells like a strong, hard working, sweating man in a gasoline station. And yes the perfume chose me... Not for everybody though.

one word (BEST).

Out of all my bottles, I have the most respect for this one. Everything you hear is true. Petroleum, dirty, oily, green and smooth. This is the only fragrance I have that doesn't smell "pretty". It smells good, it's just nothing like any of the other ones. It's not bright, clean or sweet. It's quite the opposite. However, it smells great. You can tell it has Dior's quality and I get compliments on this one all the time. I've heard "it smells familiar" from women a little older than me, but they don't know it by name. This fragrance reminds me of sitting in a freshly restored '68 Camaro with leather seats. Dead summer, no air conditioning, windows down, driving down a road with lush greens all over the sides of the road.

Longevity = 8-10 hours
Projection = 10/10

I have tried it in the winter , GOOD EDT , but i like the INTENSE VERSION BETTER , although the bottle design of the original is BETTER , cause i like THE HEAVY STUFF !

Parfum perfection, love it or hate it. Creatively, perhaps the very best fragrance... EVER. I LOVE this scent! Fahrenheit is like a fiery, beautiful, sensual, exotic woman. You may never fully understand her, but her magnetism is as unmistakeable as it is unforgettable; an experience you will forever treasure unless you can't take the heat. Fahrenheit is not for the shy, staid, meek, timid, or pragmatic. To me, the smell of this fragrance reminds me of how a Brach's "Cinnamon Disk" tastes, or perhaps the smell of a roiling, boiling, molten, red-hot, pot of them, as well as so many other delicious, intriguing, deep, dark, clean, dirty, soapy, edgy things... THAT is Fahrenheit. A 10/10. To call this a "classic" is to do it grievous injustice. My only complaint is that, for me, it is too bold to serve as my "signature scent", but by that same token, it's this brash exclusivity that has, for nearly 25 years, given Fahrenheit its enigmatic mystique; an enduring fragrance and endearing memory in the minds of many.

Blast of nutmeg and leather. Spicy yet fresh. Yes it does smell like gasoline but I love it. Looking for a vintage bottle. For me it stays the same spicy leathery peppery patchouli scent throughout its life. Projects well and lasts 6 hours or so.
Absolutely original fragrance from the house of Dior. Thank you

Verdict: 9/10

Its 20 years since I smelled this - so time to refresh my nasal passages. And WHOA! That scent takes some beating! Now, let me see, where shall I begin. The spice - no we are not taking your grampa's cant run up the stairs Old Spice here, we are talking a sexy, hot, sizzling spice - spice that says "hey you wanna smell a sexy spice? well here you go!"

Its pretty potent stuff, but wait for the dry-down and then the liquid gets to work. The heat will tepid off and then you will discover the gentle maiden, as opposed to her Iron Maiden first spray sister.

A bunch of lavender, with lemon rind grated on top, a sprinkle of paprika still with the heat peeking through saying 'this heat aint going anywhere, baby! Im staying close'

The herb notes ARE there, but, its not a herb salad in your face. Far too hot, sweet and citrus like for that

Im sooo glad I grabbed this dusty test bottle in the store, the over hyped new scents get pride of place on the shelves with their posters, celebs, the free bags, the vouchers blah blah blah, whilst these get pushed to the back, which is a shame because they certainly are forever-treasures, and 'safe-bet' gifts for the special male

En una frase ''masculinidad americana en un aroma y en una botella'' esta es la mejor descripción a modo de compendio y sin entrar en matices de esta mítica y transgresora fragancia que es Fahrenheit de Dior. Este perfume amaderado-floral-almizcle es un monumento a la masculinidad al estilo ''macho'' como lo conocemos en España. He afirmado arriba ''masculinidad americana'' porque la mezcla ingeniosa de notas herbales, maderosas, resinosas, almizcladas y cuerosas se me hace un aroma como a fuel, vease gasolina o gasoil incluso, estos aromas me evocan como pueden oler un hombre de gran masculinidad como puede ser un motero conduciendo o arreglando una Harley Davidson en su garaje. En definitiva, un perfume de esos amor u odio pero de una masculinidad bien afirmada que no dejará indiferente a nadie.

This smell like fire in gas station. Great scent.

Classic and very sophisticated scent with great longevity.Take it or leave it scent.It's a part of my wardrobe.

Classic and very sophisticated scent with great longevity.Take it or leave it scent.It's a part of my wardrobe.

i would love to hug a man who smell like this <3

Started strong and rubbery, then mellowed for a while and thant was nice. But after 4 hours of wear I smelled like a tire shop. Thumbs down.

One of the a few 80's that doesn't smells dated and still it's a masterpiece.
It's very unique and definitely not for everyone!
Imagine this :
You are a mechanic and you have a small garage and you are wearing a leather jacket! the gasoline, petroleum and oil scents are in the air. one of your friend comes in and say : Hi! happy birthday my friend! here, take this beautiful flowers. you put that flowers in a vase in your garage!
That petroleum and floral scents mix together and for unknown reason you have a mossy smell in the air too! lol
Here you are! you have Fahrenheit!
Great projection and good longevity with this guy!
Definitely not a blind buy!
يه عطر شاهكار و بي نظير كه بوي بسيار منحصر بفردي داره و صد البته هركسي خوشش نمياد
تصور كنين كه شما يه مكانيك هستين و يه گاراژ دارين
بوي گازوئيل و روغن همه جا رو فرا گرفته
ناگهان دوستتون مياد تو و يه دسته گل بهتون ميده و ميگه تولدت مبارك
شما دسته گل رو تو يه گلدون تو همون مغازه ميزارين
بوي گازوئيل و گل ها با هم تركيب ميشه و بدلايل نامعلومي كمي هم بوي مشك تو فضاي اونجا پيچيده (آخر تخيل بي منطق! :دي). بفرمايد! شما حالا فارنهايت دارين
بوي خيلي خاصي داره كه خوشايند خيلي ها نيست اما اگه خوشتون بياد پي به عظمت اين شاهكار ميبرين
پخش بو و ماندگاري بسيار خوبي داره
به هيچ وجه اينو بدون تست نخرين. به هيچ وجه

I bought Fahrenheit back when it came out in 1988. I really gave it a chance and wore it quite a few times. Unfortunately, to my nose, it always smelled like raw, bloody meat marinated in gasoline, so I ended up giving it away to a friend of mine who can appreciate it. It is truly vile juice (to my nose). PFUI!!!

Great Scent smells very Manly Looking For a vintage bottle of Fahrenheit even if its half way. Great musky cologne

One of the 1st fragrances that I sniffed. Wonderfully unique!!! Everyone should have this one. I'm 25 and I love this fragrance.

The first frag I ever got. That was a long time ago you have to be really confident to wear this. Who ever thought of mixing up all those notes and ending up withthis scent is a genius. Its a old one but for those just starting I would think the newer formulas out have brought it up to date.

Bit too mature for me! Good fragrance for the older gentleman!!

Un perfume difícil, intrusivo, no huele a nada conocido en perfumería, aunque se gasten en explicar de qué está hecho. Para mi, lo destacable es que es masculino en extremo, a ninguna mujer se le ocurriría usar este. En pocas palabras huele como a un varón salido de un taller de autos, una mezcla extraña de aceite de máquinas, algo astringente, picante, sudoroso. Obligatorio probarlo antes de comprarlo!!!

Pure gas pump jockey, sweat stained wife beater and oil under the nails. If that is you then buddy you have hit pay dirt. You know that pungent shooting right to the back of the eyeballs smell of gasoline? Well mix that with years old garage floor oil stains and an old leather jacket the dog sleeps on and you have Fahrenheit by Dior.... Shut the garage Dior I am heading over to Chanel.

nope ZELJO, it's strong and vulger if you ask me. You will not catch me wearing this stuff. No pun attended perhaps it's one of thoughs fragrances I have to use for a while to like it.

seems I,m the only one who dislikes it, to me it smells vulgar, cheap and artifficial, and reminds me to vulgar people from late 80s

After sampling this fragrance, I knew I had to have it. Bottle just arrived yesterday, and I'm sporting it today. What a unique and wonderful fragrance. I was playing Forza Motorsports on the Xbox yesterday evening while wearing this and, somehow, the two go together. The hint of gasoline puts me in mind of performance cars, sunny Sunday afternoons at the track, and the throaty roar of engines.

While I like all the phases of this scent, the drydown is the best. I get leather and amber and musk, but in a very dark way. Great stuff. 10/10.

Wow, look at all these reviews. And just too add up to the many voices of this fragrance, to me (an on me) it smells like cucumber. Sheer, fresh cucumber. As if i took one and smeared it all over my neck. And yes, I also see why many mention gasoline... I have to agree - a quite unique fragrance.

Not much needs to be said about Fahrenheit. Is an absolute classic that I consider to be the best masculine fragrance of all time. Like most of these reviews, I have nothing but praise for the smell, projection, and longevity of Fahrenheit.

While I would like to break down the smell of this Dior masterpiece, nothing I can say could bring anything new to the table. Fahrenheit is incredibly unique, and to me, brings the best leather note to any cologne. Leather, light florals, and freshly cut grass, are what I get from Fahrenheit, but the juice is so unique that you shouldn't judge it based off reviews, go try it out.

10/10. Just perfect, J'Adore Dior!

Mee. Ow.

@acv43 - Are you sure you're not really Zooey Deschanel's character, Jess, on New Girl in disguise? LOL. Such a great review!

I, too, love Fahrenheit. The herbal, smokey, brooding scent catches my attention immediately. I rarely come across anyone who wears it, which is a shame. I don't think DH cares for it, so I shall learn to appreciate it in the bottle or on a piece of cardstock.

My boyfriend had exactly one cologne, and one only
it is a sad little bottle of a cologne called ink that i bought for him probably 5 or 6 years ago from a teenagy clothing store back when we both were still in high school.
Now my boyfriend is not overly into grooming, he is clean of course, and showers regularly, but he rarely even bothers with hair product, or really any other grooming product, definitely not the cologne wearing type if you catch my drift.
I found his sad little bottle of Ink the other day while tidying up and it looked so sad and forlorn that i had to put it with my perfume collection...just for company i guess.
It was his sad little ink bottle that made me get a wild hair up my ass to find my man a real mans cologne.
So without further ado i garbed my BF and took him to the nearest Macy's mens department, where we preceded to smell pretty much every scent they had to offer- the salesman cautioned us, smelling everything in the store would probably result in a crushing headache-but we soldiered on...we had a job to do after all.

As i expected, my BF hated everything, he has very discriminating taste (thus he landed an excellent girlfriend like myself, lol).
yet finally he found ONE fragrance that he said he "really liked"( those are pretty powerful words coming from my BF) and it was Dior Fahrenheit !!
I had smelled Fahrenheit before, prompted by my undying love for dior, and i had thought it incredibly sexy. I was so happy that he had chosen such a sexy manly scent as Fahrenheit- I was certain that he would chose a aquatic scent ( they are nice, but a dime a dozen)- it was my very own Christmas miracle! (although actually it was more like a January miracle)Now my BF not only has a signature scent, but one of the best men's fragrances ever made (in my humble opinion)

Now if you've taken the time to read this ramble, your probably thinking by now, good god woman, are you actually going to talk about how it smells yet?
yes my friends
Dior Fahrenheit is utterly sexy and masculine. The opening is a subtly fruity citrus with an underlying leather smell which remains prominent throughout. I don't know for sure which ingredient i am smelling but their is definitely a smokey smell- like smelling your clothes after you have been around the bonfire. There also some wonderful herbal notes that declare themselves after the initial citrus blast. I can't smell any florals exactly, but this is so complex smelling i can't wrap my brain around all the components.

If your a man and wear this, women will take their panties off and throw them at you wherever you go...okay that's not true because things like that don't happen in real life, but this is a sexy smell, no joke.

Ok, ramble completed

I am not a man and do not wear this, - BUT as somebody wrote below- it is INSTANT approval, - by men or women..... This is my favourite perfume for men - plus Chanel Allure has the equal power,- that is it.

I have been buying it to EVERY of my men for whatever occasion arose, and now, since my son is 9 y.o. ( 12 now) he has been always having Fahrenheit in his little collection.

This perfume just so addictive and attractive, - it is like a drug. and no matter how well i know it and how many times i have been 'wrapped' in it - i always turn my head towards a person who wears it. absolute winner for men!!! a 'must have" disarming weapon!

great exotic woods, warm spices and sensual florals perfectly blended with lots of sillage and staying power..... a masterpiece

It may actually be ideal to wear this now since everyone else is just wearing citrus/aquatic and more "fresh fougere" scents because this really defines itself and its a great scent to wear

weak in the knees.. I am attracted to many scents on a man, but this one takes the cake. If my man wears this, he'd better be ready for some serious attention from me ;) I can't stay away, it's almost as if there were pheromones in it!

I am a female and roughly about 20 years ago I went to Canada for a vacation.I was at a club and a young man was wearing the best scent that I had ever smelt. He said that it was Fahrenheit.When I returned home I bought a bottle for myself to wear and bought three after that.Loved to wear It in my 20s to early 30s.So what if its mens.

Used to be one of those fragrances to wear to go out, get a lot of attention and be able to handle it, very sexy but manly and rough,IMO. My mom, which is sensitive to scents, used to say to wear it away from her even after only one pump, very noticeable.

Simply the best.

Anyone who wears it (this is scary thought) has instant approval and admiration from me regardless of who they are. Yes, I am bias.

For the rest of you all others who never discovered it I take pity.
So go on try it and you will never be disappointed, whether it attracts other people to you because of it or you will simply want more and more of it.

Fahrenheit is the only perfume which I love smelling it on myself (not many I can smell on myself or they just dont work on me at all). Fahrenheit makes me so powerful,untouchable. The best thing about it is that everyone else loves it too without even knowing it.

It's a rainy day, imagine yourself in your garage, wearing those favorite jeans of your's and a leather jacket and white t-shirt. You're fixing your weapon of choice, a harley-davidson or a Muscle car. Everytime I wear this Leathery petrol "floral" I am transported to the scenario above. Beastial longevity and not a slap to your face projection. Best suited for whenever you want to use being from a summer day at your yard to a black tie event on the winter. No wonder is my favorite fragrance so far.
10/10

This parfume definately needs a time to heat up!
Now, after 12 hours or more, I still smell my 3 puffs.
I am not offenced anymore. :D.

Longevity - 10
Sillage - 8 it leaves a trail of masculine smell - beyond that smell of: "petrol" like.

Whatever I'll be back to say about the juice because it is to comlicated to describe it.
I have to discover the heat inside the bottle.

Just bought it today...at 7 p.m.
Now at 9 p.m. I barely smell it. I tried it two times in the past and is lasted 10-12h...and now...or maybe was the first spray...
I couldnt understand it in 2 hours...how to desctibe it if it;s already gone ??
I hope it was the first and last time.... :(

I just loved first fragrance version. After some 15 years i bought it again. And it's a disappointment for me. This reformulation is much more industrial and it's strong petroleum like smell is more intensive, in bad way. (It smells like carworker/garageman when he arrive home after very lonk workshift) All the exotic notes i liked at that time, are somehow gone. Or at least the good impression i had in my memory/mind. And i think it's not because time passing by, and i forgot how it smelt before. I was talking to some friends that have same new (reformulated) version. Though, it's still original fragrance, at this time, while rest of the fragrance world changed, it's not for me.

Less is more with Fahrenheit, yet powerful and unique leathery scent that isn't made for everybody. Do not blind-buy, try first.

If I got the vibes of motor oil and gasoline like everyone else does when they wear Fahrenheit, I certainly wouldn't be wearing and it CERTAINLY wouldn't be in my top 5 of all time.
I get spiced florals, dry citrus, leather, some spices, and loads of green notes. It's absolutely gorgeous and I am surprised that so many people consider this best seller to be controversial. I feel more daring when I wear fragrances like L'eau D'issey Pour Homme and Dolce & Gabbana (Original). This, however, just suits me and I get nothing but love when I wear this.
It has a thick and fizzy opening without being loud and overbearing. The greens and citrus make a great presence and makes you feel like you're taking a walk in the forest during the early beginnings of spring. Vegetation is blossoming with the lestover decay of dead plants, the ground has wet spots from the melted snow, and the air is dewy. Fahrenheit is a freaking masterpiece.

This won`t suit me ,however as most of the lads know, this one is a controversial , unique ,interesting,`I dont give a F what other people think`-type fragrance. To say it as blunt as that.

And so just as it should be! Because fragrances must be distinct from each other to make it unique to a person`s personality.

I can also see that people can claim that it could make them feel nauseous as this one is strong and intense like The Terminator on his bike. You get the idea now?! LOL

There is a bitter soapy opening that I cannot analyze and it`s a bit frustrating. But dare I say ginger /grassy Chypre. I don`t get the diesel/petrol scent. And if that was in there then surely I should get a bit high on them fumes...Maybe someone else knows?....
Marcel

Back on the 80s I literally bath in this perfume... Now I realized smells like if I had rub my skin with a dirty tire... So thumbs down!!

magnificent scent, one of the best fragances for men. Absolutely masculine, though captivating.

This scent is a masterpiece.

Just perfect scent. One of the best ever made.

Vibe: Handling an F1, taking it to 18000 rpm, high quality motor oil-gasoline.

Top: its stars with the motor gasoline-oil note, maybe coriander, i dont know what causes this note but is simply amazing. 15 mins -1 hr

Heart: the gasoline note disappear, it gets sweety and woody with a hint of quality spices. 4-6 hr

Base: Woody base, sweet and sour, patchuly and leather, just perfect. 4 hr

Overall: a Masterprice, unique, ethereal and earthy, godlike and mundane, just poetic.

It suits anybody, but you must have balls to wear it, an alpha male scent not for wimps.

Awkward opening. Not really for my liking at first, then it dries down to a nice manly scent. This perfume isn't for everyone. Very daring, complex and very masculine. I think men who wear leather jackets and ride motorcycles should wear this. I do not recommend this for everyday use. I think this scent is suitable if you are about to murder someone or something.

Longevity - 8/10
Sillage - 8/10
Scent - 6/10

only I need to know why Fahrenheit has a gasoline opening ???? then it fades out within 20-30 min. to have the nice accords afterwards.

IMO one of diors best. The scent is very strange to be honest you can think of this scent as fresh at times and other times you get a sweet quality with leather which is always there from the start to the end. Its the leather that mixes with the freshly cut grass smell to give of the smell of burnt wood or petroleum. you always get the violet in the scent which at times is a little sour but sweetned with the tonka which is good. a very well balanced scent. the leather is done right, any more and would have killed the scent.The scent sillage is very good and will leave a trail if you go mentle. I use one spray to the neck and one big spray on clothes which is enough.
This would last between 8-12 hours on skin.
I do like the sprayer you get a very wide mist. the bottle is very well made cap is very good clicks into place.

Scent 8.5/10

Masterpiece! I love it. 10/10

I can change my way just to follow a guy who wears this!

Fahrenheit translates into smell the phenomenon known as "weather". Heat, cool, rain and winds - of these things speaketh the spirits that dwell in Fahrenheit. And they speak of these elements of weather not one at a time but simultaneously in a mesmerizing choir.

The picture of the whole of what weather is continues in the bottle design which dualistically echoes the canopy of an arid sunset and a rain drop at the same time.

Fahrenheit then, because of its mastercrafted identity, is a genuine must try.

This perfume encapsulates the passion and romance I felt for my future husband.

Just checked this one out today, and am I crazy, or does this smell a little bit like medicine and bandages?

... and yet, it has an undeniable appeal..

very stange

Truly a masterpiece.Great scent with very good longevity and projection

When i first smelled years ago, i tought that smelled like downy (fabric softner) and when i encountered again my mind had change.i get some gasoline-like aroma but is more like cherry-incense it feels warm and sensual...longevity is o.k. but not as big as other colognes that i own...still you can sense some class and attitude in it. A great fragrance.

90/100

Fahrenheit initially bursts out in a most confounding way. It strikes me like a cauldron of forming ingredients.

It's contrasting combination resonates over time from the warmth of the skin into the dry down with varied cooling and heating perceptions. Some heat comes from this mandarin leather potpourri layer. There is something almost berry or rose-like and flavorful rock-sugar-like as those ingredients come together. There is also something a bit like a nice aftershave where I suppose the vetiver and violet leaf come off the skin in a kind of resinous and effervescent way in the background always cooling and soothing.

There are perhaps some times when it seems a bit cloying especially right after you spray it but give it some time and see how it puts itself together.

Charming, classic and unique scent
It smells like an old garage.
Old bags and sacks with dusty, but memorable materials.
A lawnmower, drippin' a bit gasoline on the ground.
Old wood furniture, which is inherited by an important person.
It all comes together perfectly, and creates a different, but fantastic scent.

It separates men from the boys :P
This one is a MUST HAVE for me!!
In one say; 'THE KING OF ALL PERFUMES'

You have to be the right person to wear this.

There is a reason why this fragrance was controversial...

That same reason is why it became a classic.

Bold & Different.

for a leather jacket type MAN, who goes by his on rules.
8/10

ای وای در مورده خیلی چیزا نظر دادم به جز ادکلنه مورده علاقه ی خودم.

یه بویه فوق العاده خاص و نشاط آور که هم آرامش مید ه و هم اشتیاق-پخش بوش خو-ماندگاری خوب-

تنها ادکلنیه که بیشتر از یک بار خریدم و ممکنه باز بخرم.

Very interesting, but"strange" fragrance.

And just as it should be!

Le Perfume must be distinct from other fragrances.

One of my favorites

Great scent! well balanced body but i cannot wear it anymore my nose became numb in this one... i like to smell it on others though.
classical masterpiece !

I don't get understand when people say it smells like gasoline, motor oil all this bs, this is a classic, masculant, masterpiece. One of my favorites of all time. Every single time i wear this, and i mean EVERY time i wear this i get a compliment, whether its from a man or a women. LASTS ALL DAY into the next morning easily on my skin.

10/10 in every aspect in my opinion

I have never enjoyed this scent when sampling the dept stores. I was looking for a good fall scent and kept hearing the buzz about this. When I first smelled the bottle I could instantly see why this is a fall classic and was excited to try. First thought I smelled damp gasolinechemical rubber floral. On the skin the rubber will slowly fade into a wet floral scent. I wanted to enjoy this and thought I was but it started to become overpowering and made me sick. Most people mention a leather note but I picked that up as chemical leather more rubber smell. This cologne has so many scents going on at once which may be a problem. I think it is a love or hate type of cologne.

an attractive unique fragrance of the 80's .However,it lost it's touch when a lot of harmful chemicals were discovered.Since, then dior failed to produce an improvement and Farenheit amidst all it's glory lost the title
of being the highest selling perfume

I would describe it as a kaleidoscope of smells. In each use different feelings spring from its multiple chords. Its rich notes merge into a unique harmony and make the fragrance become a global icon. a musthave for bold men anywhere in the world.
9/10

Today, for the first time, I've sampled Fahrenheit not only on paper, but on my skin - and boy, this perfume is something special:

A yummy concoction of moldy leather, dust, motor oil and paint that dried up in the can.

Not only is this the most non-mainstream and masculine fragrance that I've ever tried, it is, above all, by far the most "gothic". If you feel complimented when someone greets you with a hearty "You look like death", you might find that this fragrance accentuates your style quite nicely.

Update:
If you find Fahrenheit to be interesting, but unwearable or plain unattractive, you might want to try out Fahrenheit Absolute in which the original's theme reverberates, but mellowed and embedded in an overall much more wearable and nice smelling scent.

i had this during the late 90s while still younger. verrrry matured scent, i liked it.

I get a peppery blast when I sniff this. Really peppery and spicy, if you like peppery, this is your fragrance. I personally think this is too peppery and leathery for my taste. Mature, peppery, warm fragrance. Good for cooler months.

Awesome! But NOT for everyone. This fragrance chooses you. Not vice versa. As its name implies, it is a sexy fragrance and heats up any room. Its pheromones in a bottle practically. There is absolutely no problem or anything wrong with this fragrance...however, the thing that seem to keep having people negatively talk about is the petroleum. I just embrace it. Its whats unique about it. The other notes like violet and the tonka beans soften the oil scent and mixes so well it keeps things warm and inviting Tonka bean responsible for making things seam edible. Like a burning bakery all in caramel and glaze. The other notes blend to give it its earthy and soft notes that possibly make the oil scent not so horrid. The leather is what makes it overall sexy and recalls the night. The petroleum undeniably makes it masculine and rugged. Its what turns most off about it. But why? Because you immediately just picture dirty sweaty men in denim smeared in metal, grease and oil and want them bathed before going near you with their filth and dirty hands? Maybe thats the fetish Dior was going for. To intice women or remind them of that man they want thats handy in all aspects of home and outdoors. A smell reminiscent of the photographs of those dirtied muscle men in auto body shops they gawk at in male yearly calendars. But this keeps the rugged guys interested and the women weak in the knees as the whole concoction of notes recalls an alpha male. A man's man. An intimidating man that exudes sex. And the best part? That fact that its not for everyone. Because I dont see old, fatties, unattractive men or kids wearing it. But like I said, not everyone can pull this off. Like the name suggests and deemed as a sexy fragrance...not all can wear this. Because not everyone in the world can be or is just that, sexy!

Fahrenheit made me think that in an ideal world different reformulations of the same fragrance should be able with their warnings on possible allergic materials, so the consumer would be able to pick the one he likes the best, avoiding to displease eitheir new admirers and old ones. Fahrenheit is a great fragrance at the first version and still good but less impressive at the third reformulation. The original seems like a autumn sunset of leather, citrus and flowery notes, with the flowers assuming a dry side like they were part of a pout-pourri. There is a strong chamomile at the opening, surrounded by dry citrus, which leads to violet-lef and dry flowers heart. The base is a a dry leather with an old-style aura and woody feeling.
The recent one seems simpler, less exotic, but still great. It focusesmore on the citrus and violet leaf aroma, with a leather which seems more like suede now. The woods are are little bit more generic, but nothing that compromises its beauty. I would purchase both if they were available regularly today, but since this don`t happen i will favor the old one until i can find it...

A unique creation. The woody+Spicy content of the fragrance is adorable. Very long lasting, I like it wearing once in a while. But did not like the leather part of the formulation. My wife hates it.

I'm a woman and my husband wears it from time to time :)

I like the fragrance. It's an only fragrance with leather I can stand. It's such a saint-dirty scent... ;) On the one hand I can imagine a gentleman who drives his family in a car (with leather parts into the car) to school/work/etc., on the other a male who isn't boring in sex at all, he's very passionate, true manly :)Fahrenheit may feel a bit of an oldie but it's a great job. Thumbs up.

Undescribable...

In 1988 Dior launched the last sensible fougere with leather accords. It immediately became a best seller. I was still in college and Polo was tossed aside for this. This was something good, right? It was status and class from Dior with a big price tag.

One of my college roommates had a giant bottle and I would sneek a spray a few times. It would always convey a sense of power and male dominance. I alway felt that Gray Flannel was the inspiration. That many florals had not been used since, including the violet. It was dense and oily. 1000s of flowers had to be in there!

The petrol note that some find sexy, other find dirty probably comes from the violet/leather accord. After a few hours it starts to quiet down to a very predictable and comfortable fougere. No one ever mentions this. Oakmoss, vetiver and patcholi are prevalent and wear great under a sweater. It is a cold weather friend and encourages cuddling. It wears like an old pair of shoes that you refuse to part with.

This scent has an overpowering effect on me making me week in the knees. I love it on a man.

Fahrenheit broke every rules in 1988 and is still perfect. It's a must have. Sexy, alluring and TIMELESS... Will be always in my top five...

Fahrenheit is a masterpiece that's stood the test of time. If not owned it should at least be experienced because it's unique.

i love this one, for strong confident men... long lasting... the only problem is when you put it every one knows what your are putting but stell a great fragrance

A clasic and oldish fragrance, but still weareble nowa days. An old man can wear this at this time in 2011 and I like to wear it BUT just for Reference.
IT DOES SMELL LIKE OIL but in a good way and it still remains fresh. A sexy fragrance, but not for everybody just like another weird ingredients...

WAX - Dior homme
RUBBER - Bvlgari black
SALT - Thiery Mugler womanity
SKIN - JP Gaultier GAULTIER 2 .etc.

What can you say about a masterpiece that hasn't already been said? For one, I gained even more of an appreciation of how classic, unique, and hypnotic this can be after having the experience of sampling Fahrenheit Absolute. It's like the experience of driving the Yugo after you've handled a Ferrari -- the newer fragrance doesn't hold a candle to the original.

I immediately wanted to smell the experience of that original, and rarely can one improve on something so nearly perfect, so balanced, and so unique. This is a fragrance about which everyone will have very strong feelings, and many will say that it varies from too resin-laden to overbearingly leathery. For me, it's just the perfect balance of warmth, woods, vetiver, amber, musk and heady florals.

In a word, brilliance. If only Dior would stop using the Fahrenheit moniker on every new fragrance versus dragging the reputation of the original through the muck.

All I can say about this fragrance is, as a woman smelling it on a man, it makes me weak at the knees.
It's almost overpowering and I want not to like it but it works like pheromones in bottle.
Yes I smell patchouli,leather, mandarin the violet and of course the vetiver - which in itself is an aphrodisiac to me.
This perfume is directly responsible for drawing me repeatedly back into proximity of a turbulent relationship. I love it and keep a near empty bottle stashed just for the memories!!
Dangerous stuff.

I have been wearing this great fragrance for fifteen years and it always garners compliments. Oil and leather with violet and honeysuckle florals. I will never be without this fragrance. A masterpiece.

Fantastic fragrance and a best seller since 1988. Great stuff.

....remain MASTERPIECE .....for ever !

if u apply some of this onto ur wallet, it smells like a brand new wallet.

"Fahrenheit" was so awkward for its time, one can only admit that the Dior house was really open minded (no more than the perfume's creators one could logically argue though) when they decided to give it a try.
At first it gives the impression this is a perfume created by accident (personally, I maintain this impression) one of those happy accidents if you know what I mean :)).
While most probably it is the sexiest male perfume on the market it is definitely NOT for everyone.
In addition to this, it is a perfume that selects the subject that will wear it and not the other way round. When "Fahrenheit" doesn't like you, you just know it!
I feel this specific perfume (along with "Kenzo Homme") is the reason that keeps most of the perfumers going (clearly on a creative level), since what Fahrenheit does to a man's aura is almost tangible!
Women love it so much, but I guess you know that. ;-)

still my favourite fragrance,timeless and unique,but in contrast with my older version from 90ies,current is lighter.

If you're a man's man, then wearing Fahrenheit is redundant to you, as you would already smell of motor oil and freshly cut grass. If you're a woman, wearing Fahrenheit would make you the sexiest woman alive. Fahrenheit, like Grey Flannel, was a fragrance that I put off trying for a long time. I felt it was right there with Cool Water and Polo as one of those "blah" scents, the kind you've smelled a million times on a million people over the course of millions of parties, pow-wows, and Pinot Noir tastings. Well okay, maybe not Pino Noir tastings. But you get the idea.

Of course, upon trying it, I found Fahrenheit to be different from anything else I'd ever smelled. The burst of petroleum and violet leaf from the top, joined later by hawthorn and honeysuckle, was quite enjoyable. The petroleum note persists through the drydown, lending the fragrance a perverse masculinity in the face of all those nectared flowers. The black tar smell is unique, a little dirty, and finds tension with the greener elements in the middle and base. Two thumbs up.

This smells like expensive leather car seats & exhaust fumes. I have very mixed emotions about this one.. I want to hate it, but I love it. This is a very interesting scent, it's like nothing I've ever smelt before. I would love to smell this on a guy... And I wish I had a tiny bottle of this, so I could just periodically take it out and enjoy the strange, yet wonderful scent... The contrast between the leather & violet leaf is so beautifully intriguing!

Orange leather .. good for Porsche !

i love smelling this on a man, in fact i am going to buy this for my boyfriend. i wouldn't hesitate wearing it too!

I love this fragrance on a man, it was my good friend Ajip who allured me to love this scent! mmmm...such enticing aroma with a sweet masculinity!A man who thinks he likes to groove & work out but feel emotions deeply with a great sense of sensitivity should partake this scent!

it smell very good on clothes.but on skin? it changes..
it does not smell good on my skin.perfect on clothes :)

I smelt this on a client and i had to ask him what he was wearing and have ordered it for hubby.

Tested it and it smells very unique and lasts a long time. Good job to the Dior house.

Explossively Sensuous !!!

Lo mejor , simplemente unos de los mejores perfumes para hom
bre que existen.

Fahrenheit, is a fragrance that has acquired many years supported, why is obvious: it is a fragrance that combines the tradition of male flowers with a new influence, the first time I felt I had a clear perception of rubber and leather, but also has a very subtle and sophisticated side, I think it can be worn in any season without problems.
Now is one of the classics, I think it can cross the tracks of Eau Sauvage
or Chanel n5, now part of the Hall of Fame.
Surprising

Not all man can pull this.

Upon sprayed, rubber scent will hit you hard and vivid. Picture black tire skid. Smell new tire, that's the top notes.

After the rubbery tire scent shy down.. bang, petroleum. And wet asphalt. And more petroleum. This is when mechanics busy changing oils and abusing engines. You can almost hear it roars.

Then comes the dry downs: leather, not in fancy luxurious way of limo seat, but in fatigued, stretched off road jeep's seat.

Fahrenheit is intriguing, full of character. You will either love or hate it.
Definitely masculine from start to finish. Man and not giving a damn.

Sillage: Bold on top notes. People around will feel like walking into automotive spare part shop, or garage. Beautiful in its own way.

Longevity: Circuit long. Bad ass on skin.

A classic fragrance every man should have.It is a top juice fragrance with all that notes. It is as good as popular and in my opinion when a perfume is too popular it stops to attract, but the price isn't popular at all (53 euros for 50ml here in Italy), so you definately won't find it in sale price and hope not to find other men wearing it. It's not a perfume that deserves to be judged with one spray in the store: it's got to be worn and smelt all day long to really see how it develops and that's his best as notes change during the day.
Overall score for me is 8.5/10, at least I can say no other frag smells like this!

Thanks, that was my first review!

یاد ایام. عطری برای تمام فصول. از نوجوانی تا میان سالی را پوشش می دهد

this is the world perfumery ET

gasoline, kerosene, violet, floral + engine oil, vetiver and woods solid

kind of uneasy harmony

whatever it is, interesting flavor, this note mechanical intrigue

Two decades as one of the best selling

weird huh? ie fahrenheit

The leathery smell is so calming, enabling me to stay focused and introspecting on myself. It's truly an incredible experience.

That being said, I feel it a bit pity that my skin does not hold the smell long enough. Half day through work, i already couldn't detect the scent anymore.

If someone could recommend a similar scent that i could try out, I would appreciate it. Am thinking about Hermes Kelly Caleche?

i knew dior fahrenheit since my college days but don't have an occasion to get one for myself, even to get a sniff of this. after 20 years of keeping my interest i just got a bottle of dior fahrenheit.. OMG, smells good. leathery and violety... this will became my signature

I got this for my fiance for father day this year, and of course once he saw it he had to have it early.lol He had been wanting it for a while. We both love the smell of this one so much. Dior always makes great fragrances, I have a few of the poison line and love them. This is very leathery and smokey which is what we love. I love when a guy smells really deep and manly, I am not into all those light aquatics and axe body spray smell of today. They are just gross!! I want my man to smell like he came from the old western days, when men were real men.lol This cologne is perfect for just about any time, it may be a little heavy for summer but it can be done. This is a woman getter for sure, so I recommend to all you guys. Very rugged and manly smelling.

am not sure if I am right or wrong about this but I think the Fahrenheit I used to use in the 90's hasn't the same potency as the 200ml I just bought.am hoping they havent changed the formulation.Well I guess my nose is developed now to see this as toned down having been sniffing and wafting in all kinds of fragrances over the years.

Enough has been said about this for me to add more except just to wonder out loud to those who moan about this fragrance."Petroleum note",what petroleum?U live in caves or what?

Just enjoy it for its uniquenss

this is THE FRAGRANCE!my love use and for me every single man have to used!lol.seriis,a fantastic scent ,oriental and a bit bitter and yet sweet and sensual.a real man in a bottle.

this is THE FRAGRANCE!my love use and for me every single man have to used!lol.seriis,a fantastic scent ,oriental and a bit bitter and yet sweet and sensual.a real man in a bottle.

i first smelt this on my friend.. i knew in an instant that this in not a cheap fragrance.. i really like the smell & the bottle, but the girls in our country prefer a more fresher & younger scent than like this, this too mature for my taste but i really like it, instead i want this for my father.. perfect for mature man in my opinion.. very unique..

I tried this fragance various times and wow...the sillage and lasting power on this one its insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is the most potent and long lasting fragance in the entire market. Its sharp, woody, musky and extremely strong. Its a beautifull and seductive smell...but its a little tooooo strong for me but i still liked it a lot.

A very upfront, masculine, almost angry scent, it's an assertive combination of dissonant violet, petrol, oil, tar, leather and soapy, burnt, inedible bacon smells.

About the much-talked about reformulation; I have recently had the pleasure of comparing the vintage formulation to the current one and I can assure you there's not much difference. The violet leaf note is slightly sweeter and more vibrant in the first hour on the vintage but after that it's virtually the same as the modern version. The guys who reckon it's been ruined (like Luca Turin) are making an unnecessary fuss about the whole issue IMO.

It still smells completely unique. Fantastic stuff.

One of my Top 5 "Scents of a Man" !!

My first love used to wear this , wow!!

Uber sexy , masculine , warm , inviting , just wow WOW!

never regret to wear this.

I will speak now, quickly, how, in my point of view, Fahrenheit was created.

Launched in 1988, under the creative direction of Jean-Louis Sieuzac and Maurice Roger, the creation process of this fragrance became clear almost instantly when I felt it today, for the very first time!

Dior executives called these two perfumers, put them in a movie theater and began to exhibit the movie Over the Top. Yes, that movie where Sylvester Stallone incarnates the role of Lincoln Hawk, a trucker whose life was a failure in both personal and professional way, and which at present was carrying loads throughout the United States, while claiming the custody of his son, now in the hands of his rich grandfather. Without forgetting the roadside bars where in his spare time, he earns money with a drop-in-arm challenge.

Well, after the end of the film, the executives turned for both perfumers and spoke: "Did you see this explosion of testosterone in the movie?! It is exactly this atmosphere that we want to catch in our next creation!"

So, months later, in 1988 the fragrance Fahrenheit was launched in the market, a completely innovative scent for the standards of that time! A perfume that when applied, left on my skin for a good two hours, the smell of oil and kerosene. Do you know when someone is working in a car for the whole day and at the end of this day, he's smelling like engine fluids?! Well, this is exactly the smell of this fragrance! Incredible, I had never felt anything like it before!

Over time, the fragrance also develops like the movie Over the top, where the main character decides to take a more peaceful path in his life, and is in this moment that starts to appear in the fragrance, a new character.

We now have Stallone Cobra!
A fragrance which then acquires a more reserved sense, but without losing 5% of its masculinity.

In this final part of the fragrance, we have the emergence of a fresh floral base, supported by notes of leather. We don't have the Tuff guy from the first movie anymore, but something more reserved, but always maintaining the masculinity, always keeping the law of its initial creation that is the exact power, the surgical precision that distinguish between perfection and exaggeration.

And that's how even after restatements, Fahrenheit persists. A fragrance that is not ashamed to show itself. A fragrance made to embody the 80's masculinity. A fragrane which to me, even 22 years after its release, remains unbeaten among the most acclaimed men's fragrance, a true work of timeless art.

One of the 90's classic in my book: strong & aromatic, oily, musky, pretty masculine without a doubt. Maybe a close definition of what woody-floral-musk types used to be.
The combination of notes is stunning, I also get that gasoline starting feel but shortly after it reveals in his beauty and complexity, giving you a "debonair" feeling of mature gentleman.
Two of my old good friends use it as their signature so I stayed away from it too long...now it's my turn :)
Climbed easily in my top 10 even if I don't have that brunet skin type best suited for this juice.
It stays with me all day long (with 4-5 sprays), evolving, intriguing me, making me confident.
My humble rank 8.8/10.

Best ever cologne for man its just perfect but too sad its expensive but its a must have it smells warm it feels like heat it feels good it feels hot it feels perfect it feels everything u need in a perfume

I remember when this first came out, Macy's was pushin this one BIG time. If you walked into the store, you had to really work at dodging the SAs armed with bottles of Fahrenheit or else you got a healthy spritz whether you wanted it or not. They understood the power of repetition and recognition. Record companies have been using this form of advertising for decades. Its why payola existed and they were paying DJs to play their song over and over again. People like what they know, even if it's not the best.

Without a doubt, Fahrenheit was different when it first was released. They succeeded in making a very recognizable and distinctive (back then) perfume. I remember my first impression...woof, that smells synthetic. If you want a real petrol note, check out DK Men, now rereleased as Fuel for Men in a limited edition. NOW THAT IS PETROL. Fahrenheit to me is ghastly heavy and smothering. Some of my favorite fragrances are Woody Floral Musks, but this isn't one of them. There is some note or combination of notes that strongly disagrees with my sensibilities. Perhaps the jasmine mixed with the heavy nutmeg..I'm not sure, but it is cloying and sickening. I do like Usher VIP (not a whole lot), which smells like a spicy Fahrenheit. Something in VIP cuts the heaviness.

Alas, Fahrenheit is a no go for me. I can see many like it, and it was very different in its day. I would say try before you buy, especially the newer formulations, which, by the way, is what I am basing this review on. For all you lovers of Fahrenheit, I am glad you found something you love, and you will get no competition from me.

The trophy of Dior, i m the 6º bottle, since i was 15! No more coments!

My first fragrance ever. Never gets old. Still my signature scent and I think it will be for years. Very unique smell. Gets a lot of compliments.

Projection: 9.5/10
Longevity: 9.5/10

Overall: 10/10 (Unique Masterpiece)
This is a buy to me.

So fabulous it made me wish I were a man. I would be the guy in the ad.
I can dream can't I?

Last night, tormented by insomnia, I read a whole thread on a certain "ladies only" forum where they were, among other things, trashing Fahrenheit.
All the while I was remembering myself testing it for the first time at a perfume counter, one of many on my quest for a birthday gift to a boyfriend. I had already gone through about a dozen lookalike, smell_alike nondescript concoctions, when an enigmatically dark flacon tucked away on the back shelf caught my eye. Oh, you won't like it, the sales girl said. I insisted. I sniffed. Next thing I knew, I was standing there, weak around my knees, in the eye of a private storm, the world swirling by, and the unsuspecting mall crowd still intact all around me. I was seventeen at the time, the boyfriend in question just a year older. This deadly combo of smolder and cool was clearly not meant for someone like him. I left the store crushed, feeling that I would never be the same again, and bought him a piggy bank instead. Two years later I refused to marry him, because he was still nowhere near measuring up to The Fahrenheit Standard.

I must confess, in the following years I never bought this gorgeous dangerous thing for anyone, and now it seems a bit late to buy it for my husband, although I'm sure he would have worn it beautifully. It's just too much a scent of the early 90's stuck somewhat uncomfortably between the modern and the classic. But I do sneak up to the men's section of the perfume department once in a while and take a good long whiff of Fahrenheit, just to remind myself how things, and men, should be. I still go weak at the knees every single time.

One of my earliest fragrant memories is my father wearing this. I was born in the year this was released. Something about it keeps drawing me to it; it beckons to be worn. And so I forked out for it, wore it once, but never again. There's something edgy and out of place about it, I personally find. For an eighties cologne, its held up very, very well. And its quite likeable...but wearable...that is what I have issues with. I don't know what style of clothing to wear it with, when, or where I should be wearing it. For me, I'll leave this in the late eighties and early nineties where the spirit of the times suited this cologne much, much better.

I tested this juice once. It dried down to smell like a i had just stepped out of a burning building, id like to give it another go as i just tested a small amount on my wrist. But with my chemistry, the only notes that stuck were smoke and leather.

One of my favourite mass market perfumes of all times. I've been using Fahrenheit for several years before totally abandone it and move to other fragrances. A couple of months ago I decided to buy a new bottle to be part of my wardrobe as it used to be one of my signature frangrance in the past and realized that after smelling tones and tones of other fragrances this is still one of the most distinctive and immediately recognizable scent around. An amazing fougère that despite countless reformulations is still light years ahead of the avreage quality available on the market. A perfect formula and a mandatory purchase!

Rating: Vintage Version 10/10 - Vurrent Version 9/10

Distinct, uncompromising and characteristically French. A slightly synthetic and intensely warm, spicy fragrance either adored or loathed from my experience. A favorite of mine and a male fragrance for which quite a few women also adorn themselves with, and adore!

The smell for me is very strong...Not good to wear in tropical countries...I had this when I was in high school, and was offended when it has an analog in the form of a chemist fragrance sold in the Philippines...

Highly individual & always instantly recognizable.An amazing concoction,really.Very sensual.

I LOVE the way it goes on -- it smells like gas and leather and if you happen to be sitting in a sporty car with leather seats, then the effect is amplified even more. It's a testosterone boot to the head. It makes me want to rev my engine and leave the Honda to the right of me in the dust.

Then, it smells slightly artificial as if the top notes are trying to figure out how to make an exit. The leather smell disappears first, but the gas note lingers, and then a sweet musky smell comes out with a fresh, almost ozonic layer beneath it.

Eventually the gas note fuses with the sweet musk to create an aggressive, though nice-smelling scent that's a step or two lighter than the usual sweet musk.

I like this scent, but it doesn't last long on me. After four hours, I had to sniff my wrists to tell it was there, and after five, it was gone.

I was afraid to overdo it, because of this fragrance's reputation, but maybe it needs more than I put on. I'll keep it around to try for another round.

This scent is the defenition of what a guy in the 80's who wore a sparkly glove and a members jacket smells like. Its ok but 32 is WAY better!.

I appreciate this one but it just seems like they left out the 1 something that would round this one out just a little bit. AGAIN nice scent but pun-GENT!!! If they dimmed this a little I think that it would have nothing inferior about it.

I'm a girl who loves trying out men's fragrences... this is one that should probubly be left for the men. A beautiful fragrence, yes, but unfortunatly not on me. But the man who wears this scent to me is a man who could easily seduce me.

Testosterone big time haha. This is an incredible scent. I'm 20 and I'd say anybody my age and up it's appropriate. If there was a sex symbol fragrance for men, it's Dior Fahrenheit.

I thought since it was crafted in the 80's it's gonna smell outdated, but I was mistaken. This has a timelessness like Green Irish Tweed by Creed which is also excellent , and it has the versatility of A*men by Thierry Mugler. if your gonna wear it in class or the office wear it light. Out with your boys, goin out, get togethers, and if your girl likes the smell even dates are what this scent it good for. It's powerful, masculine, earthy, bold, lasts long, what's not to like?

i find this cologne very gross. it is much to spicy. like most colognes i expected it to die down to a more pleasant smell, but it never did. YUCK! good think i only bought the sample

Fahrenheit was an olfactory revolution and remains a unique fragrance today due to its unprecedented blend of mandarin orange, violet and the intensity of a leathery woody accord.

A fragrance constructed around almost magnetically attractive contrasts: hot and cold, subtlety and power.

Creativity, distinction, character… Fahrenheit boasts an inimitable fragrant trail and signature.

The scent reminds the same as the Advert Picture!! Really nice and warm perfume for a man! And I think that sometimes men should just loose out a bit and wear something calm and warm than just wearing strong and gents perfumes all the time!

One of my students wears this to class everyday. Not an inviting scent at all , too dry.Good for work I suppose, but not for a date.

Not much to add as I think its a great fragrance if you are into a green/mossy chypre-related fragrance with a huge unique twist on the top note.

I like it much better than many other niche scents that opens green and drys into a musk/incense/patchouli/vetiver type drydown such as Malle's French Lover.

Longevity is great, 8-12hours.
Projection is great for 3-5hours; I wouldn't really call this a monster though and I think it works better in spring/fall rather than the winter actually.

3 sprays: 1 on chest/base of neck, 1 behind each ear.

I'll like to add that the petroleum note is very apparent upon spraying, but I think its has been overplayed. Its only there at the opening 2-4 hours, after that the fragrance becomes sweet and musky with a hint of powdery suede leather.

Love this perfume. One of my dad's favourites back in the 80s. But its so unique, so modern even now. I mean really, how many new fragrances out there are this special??? Very few im afraid! And the great thing is , that younger generations dont really know this one, so its so new to them that drives them crazy. This is a winner guys!!!!! Love love love it!

My dads signature fragrance back in the days and how right he was! Strong, dark and bold, just like he was. Amazing sillage and longevity. Just like other powerhouse 80's hits.
I can't think of any better woody fragrance then this one. When I wear this I visualize being in an old, dark, mystic forest. While most modern fragrances won't get me further then a walk in a city park.
An alltime classic that still works now. Not for a young crowd though.

Thanks for wearing all those great fragrances, dad! And again: you were soooo right on this one... :)

10/10

As per my brother's word i expected alot from this perfume bt i was aghast when i sniffed it. i was convinced that either my brother's choice was classic or sth is amiss with same!

It's a bit sad the fact, that it's reformulation have turned it into a perfume which it only reminds us of the way Fahrenheit used to be. I can't say that I dislike it, some of it's virtues still linger on, but it lacks it's voice.. It feels like when you come across the person you once were in love and you realise how different things used to be.. From the other hand, in the sea of mediocrity in modern perfumery, Fahrenheit still has something to say, even whispering..

This smells about like the best auto mechanics store ever, which I think it has the smell of new tires that have been driven on them a couple of times and parked in a garage. I love this scent because it increases and accentuates my male attributes.

Projection: 100
Longetivy: 100

100 percent! Need I say more...

I really like the review by codehonor because that's how works the relationship between the wearer and the fragrance, and the big reason why some scent works for one and does not for others. Good point also by zehcheiroso, Just Truth, missk and many others. I never thought really serious about buying a bottle blindly and then a 1,5 ml sample came from a buy. I didn't get a devastating fuel smell which was what I expected, but this note is there indee. I didn't use it yet and I´m not thinking to wear it soon, but now I can recognize it and at least for two times I smelled the scent around, and guess what ... it seemed nice. My suit is hanged here in my bedroom and I´m thinking that maybe, could be used with that. Different from the scents I've tried, including those from the 80's. Ferrari Uomo is very resemble, without this fuel (or gasoline, or petroleum, you chose) aspect, but could be pointless for those who like this in the way it is.

Fué una de mis primeras fragancias y realmente me sorprendió ...era un aroma diferente en esa época y realmente marcó un hito , tiene gran estela pero para algunas personas resulta un poco molesto es de esos que se quieren o se odian. Acá en CHILE se dice que es un aroma no muy viril pero sin lugar a dudas que es uno de los grandes.

How can you say "NO!" when you re in front of a big star?? Well..it happens....even though with the stars....and me. Sorry but I will never understand and like this one.

This is one of the best fragrances ever made

AMAZING

I am a woman and I like this fragrance on some men.

It's a sexy smell for men. This fragrance would suit blondes for my opinion. I was sure I smell a hint of coconut in this perfume...and for some reason I cannot smell a great deal of flowers rather coconut like sweetness and wood.

Though it says for men but I fell in love since I laid my hands on this one. My first fav. woody floral musk of all. I hope this perfume will never be discontinued.

I am sure that all fragrance lovers have that one fragrance that changes their outlook on fragrances forever, and in my case that fragrance is Fahrenheit. I can still remember when I first smelled Fahrenheit in 2000, up to this point I was accustomed to only smelling the fresh aquatic fragrances like ADG that still to this day are worn by the masses. I did not really see their vaule let alone enjoyed wearing fragrances to much, I mainly wore them because girls liked when a guy smelled nice, and if I remember correctly I only had one bottle which was Good Life by Davidoff. Then it happend I was going through a coworkers small collection and the bottle of the original Fahrenheit caught my eye as did the name I thought what a strange name for a fragrance, I sprayed it on and I remember I was blown away by the in your face scent of petroleum and violet leaf which I loved and instantly I was taken back to high school and being in a shop class where I worked on engines and remembering how I loved the scent that would be stuck on me after getting out of that class. I then thought why would anyone want wear this scent, and how is this scent suppose to attract women. I guess I must have had a strange look on my face because I remember my coworker say something like "Strong intresting smell HUH?" which I replied "Oh Yeah!". I then asked him do girls actually like when you wear this, and his response was yup they do give it a little and you will smell why. What I smelled next was a beautiful mixture of sweet violet, honeysuckle, cedar, musk, sandlewood, and tonka. Needless to say I fell in love with this fragrance and honestly did not care at that point if anyone else liked this fragrance on me because I loved it on myself, and in that I discovered that one should never wear fragrances for others, one should wear them for their own enjoyment. Because if you love the fragrance that you are wearing it gives you a sense of joy, and confidence that will allow others to see the beauty and enjoy the fragrance you are wearing as well.

I can not say who should or should not wear Fahrenheit that is for each individual to test out and decide on there own, but what I can say is that todays formulation is much more wearable then the original because it is far less harsh. I myself love the old formulation and wear it from time to time, but I am also happy with the new formulation because I try not to focus on whats not there and focus more on what still is after all it is still in essence Fahrenheit, and I know that if I had first smelled Fahrenheit today I would still love it for what it is today an amazing unique niche fragrance in a designer market.

Final score ****

I never quite understood the gasoline note but it's probably there to balance the honeysuckle. It isn't really noticeable at a distance.

The good
Good stuff, despite one accord I hate: gasoline/smoke. All in all it smells like luxury cars.
Impressive quality, I had a good impression at first sniffing. It opens great with something fresh/fruity, pleasant, yummy. Honeysuckle! My favourite flowery note. I couldn't smell lavender clearly but I agree it's there.
Even with a sour feeling the base notes are very pleasant and by then the gas accord is gone.
Good projection, and staying power is superb.
It's simply strangely compelling.

The bad
Kinda on the low versatility side, better suited for nighttime and milder weather. It's a bit demode with its "dirty" accord too.
Unique but still rather common, I don't smell it around but I know people who own it.
The earthy/rooty heart doesn't have anything able to curb the fuel smell.

The ugly
I really hate the gasoline accord, even though it blends beautifully with the rest of the composition. I like to smell my own skin so it's much more noticeable than sillage coming from someone else wearing it. My guess is I'd rather be cloyed and buried by the honeysuckle but I'm very partial to that flower.

It seems to be one of those love or hate affairs. It's a pity I find one note so offputting, it's my only scent with a dark side, but I'm still selling it.

One of the most horrible,nasty smelling fragances i have ever smelled, i hate this one, very strong herbal scent and stays in your skin for hours, i dont recommend this one

Bhougland, as a woman I cant agree more!

Fahrenheit (along w Versace Dreamer) are two of my favorite colognes for men. Fahrenheit is Strong, powerful, masculine, sexy and hypnotic. It affects me like catnip.

My partner knows to put this on and it ignites my passion for him x 1000.

This cologne is polarizing due to the emotions it invokes. Let me explain...over the past decade men have been taught that to get a girl you need to be nice, metro sexual, and effeminate. Men want to all but hide any shred of masculinity that still have in fear that a women will think he is a bruit.

This cologne is like a gasoline bitch slap to the face of those "men". The top notes don't last that long and you are left with a smoldering heat for the rest of the 5-6 hours. This cologne is the essence of man and radiates heat.

Men who are comfortable being a man will love this; those that aren't won't. If you are one of those that hates this cologne do yourself a favor and sit down with this scent and meditate on the images it conjures up deep within. Once you embrace it you will be cured!

Ps. I am mostly joking on this review, but only mostly.

Fahrenheit, One of my all time favourite!

While we're talking about Fahrenheit, we pinpoint to all Dior men's fragrances. This one is Dior signature for men perfumery. Signature of Dior perfumery because it's the most famous Dior men's and it's the purest one among all of them.
Sharp, spreading and strong enough to fill a great space. It's both classical and modern and both cold and warm. Both official and casual. Reminds a 90's man, chic and sexy but serious and adventuring!

About Dior men perfumes, the thing that I just realized recently is that all of them have a hidden potential vigorous lusty theme at the back, like a dragon who sleeps in mountains who breathes fire. Really interesting thing is that Fahrenheit is still on top among all Dior perfumes! So, it passed the exams. I haven't seen any woman or girl who doesn't like Fahrenheit. It brings extremely masculine and sexiness of man whose first personality is his self confidence! He knows how charming is! A man in a loose shirt, casual but chic. Extremely chic!
This luxurious phenomenon sets perfectly in autumn and late summer. Something wild, dry, biting and earthy. It incites sexuality in girls! Always a No1!

Fahrenheit by Dior is a fragrance that will stand the test of time, a uniqe scent that most gentelmen and ladies find irresistible. One of the best fragrances of all time.

On my skin:
Top: It is dark, mossy and has the hints of bright green hiding underneath the fragrance. Many ppl say it smells like petroleum, but I don't think so, I have smelled petrol, and it is nothing close. It is more like burned flowers and grass.

Middle: the scent calms down after 3-4 hours on my skin. Nutmeg, honey like scent starts to creep; with that burn flower-grass scent still lingering but not over the top.

Base: Middle notes move away after 4-6 hours, leaving with a sweet, flower-sugar scent that's appealing and addictive.

I get complements every time I use it, many say it is unique, and addictive. HAHA!

Very versatile, I can use this at work (but I would do 2 sprays on each neck pulse points, and I am set); out with friends, going for a date, etc.

This is a love-hate scent. Either ppl love it, or they will hate it. If you want to be unique, this is a BUY.

If you are into aquatics, this is most probably something to walk away. Or if you are curious, give it a shoot on ur skin.

The country I am in has no 4 seasons, so it is either hot or cold weather. This works very well on both. I would do 2 sprays on hot weather, and 3 on each pulse points for cold.

My rating (base on 5 stars)

Scent: 4 (unique, but people who own this will know this).

Sillage: 5 (this is a true sillage, when you walk pass by people, people will scent this).

Time length: 5 (10 hours++, first 6 hours, ppl will scent this, which is great).

Occasion: 4 (this is a daring fragrance for sure, I have use this for wedding dinners and functions, this one is a complement getter).

Overall base on mathematics: 4.5/5

This is a keeper fragrance =)

Four words; seduction in a bottle. Enough said!

this is the best fragrance for mature men. smells like sex. very attractive.

Okay, so I've been reading what people say about Fahrenheit -- mainly positive -- and thought I'd give it a spritz to see if it'd be something I'd buy for my son (or myself).

The second after I sprayed it on, a young woman, who was with her boyfriend, said, "Oh my God! What IS that????? It's fantastic!"

Then -- get this -- I (a perfume novice) actually told her a bit about it (thanks to your reviews and this page with the notes listed!)!!! I like to flatter myself by thinking that maybe -- just maybe -- she ended up making her boyfriend try some on...

On me? Cedar-y, woodsy, which I like, but a tad too masculine off the top. Dry down is more pleasant. I could see maybe buying a gift set for someone and keeping the lotion for myself.

It's really wonderful. It smells like black pepper kingdom! Exotic, attractive!

As there are countless reviews on it. ..Of those who can and cannot wear this fragrance. I thought I would talk of the newest reformulation in comparison. Both, of the reformulations still above todays damper of regularity and repeat smells.

I did a side by side comparison of the last two formulations. They are quite different. When I brought these two to the nose of the girl I normally do fragrance hunting with.. (Shes also a pretty good sniffer) She thought they were two different colognes at first. Think about that!
We both came about that the newer version is sweeter, a little more soapy, and lighter.. as in not the same strength. However the strength of it in this case doesn't mean that the new one doesn't last as long. Because, in my testing I found they last the same. ..forever. lol But, through the length of my testing that evening, I also found that the newest version is also lighter.. as in.. isn't such the dark fragrance that Fahrenheit is supposed to be. It lacks the depth and richness, for sure; throughout the whole time wearing it. At first spray the new version has almost a bright feeling to it. More compared to the color at the bottom of the bottle.. Rather than the whole mysterious colored and unique bottle. It also can become almost cheapy smelling at times. I would like to not get this impression. But, I did. It can become cloying due to this; as well as it being sweeter, soapier, and brighter. Definitely brighter. It was also on the verge of giving me a headache at times.
It is cleaner. Which is not what Fahrenheit is. It doesn't have as mossy and earthy of a vibe. And, the motor oil smell is cleaned up. It doesn't have as manly of a vibe.
Does it have somewhat of similarity to the prior version?.. of course. The same as if you were drinking two different types of orange juice, they would both taste like orange juice.
And, I have thought this might appeal more to the masses at first. But, think about this.. Even though, sales associates have no idea Fahrenheit has been reformulated. And, either way..wouldn't try to sell Fahrenheit to anyone. Lets say, if it were someone that just came into the store..Never heard of Fahrenheit. Or, someone that heard of it; and was coming in to smell everything that Fahrenheit was. ..If someone were to like Fahrenheit. The image that it portrays.. What it is.. That deep.. dirty..yet fresh smell. The smell of man. They would be loving everything about the fragrance that is still there. They would love everything thats supposed to be there. But, lucky for them.. They would never know what they were missing.
And, the lovers of Fahrenheit.. whatever prior version.. Well, you know what you are missing.

I have since then came back to this fragrance to try the newer version just by itself. As the search for an older bottle can be a pain and some what worrisome. As it seems, You may only be able to find on Ebay. However in wearing the newer version one time by itself to get full impression. Everything holds the same except it doesn't really get cloying. And, the other thing is that if you don't get a full whiff of it.. at times it resembles Curve. Which isn't a bad smell, but definitely somewhat known for being cheap. And, I think this may have been where I got the cheap vibe from it.
It still is a wonderful scent and one of my favorites. Even more so if I never smelled ones prior. And, it definitely still beats out most of the colognes today.

And.. it definitely still is a favorite among women. real women.

This is basically horror in a bottle. Imagine what strongly sweetened gasoline mixed with rotten flowers would smell like, and you'll get the idea. A disgrace to the magic world of Colognes.

This is by far THE sexiest perfume for men. Always was, always will be. I believe that every man should have the birth right to be given a bottle of this. And every woman should deserve to be around a man who smells so divine. May be the word " smell" is not enough, Fahrenheit goes beyond that. It is a way of being, a declaration to the senses, a promise...Pure perfection.

I really like this scent, it stays forever and smells really good.The problem is it is really known and when you wear it evey one will know what you are wearing...

Oh my dad use to wear this back in the 1990's...I use to always like to spray a bit of it on from time to time. After a while I began to like other scents far better, but of the cologne my dad owned...this was the best one he had.

A boyfriend wore this in the early nineties. It's a real turn on. A combination of scents that was just waiting to be discovered. One of the sexiest men's colognes out there. To let you know where I'm coming from, some of my other favorite men's colognes are: Le Male, Xool by Yanbal, Hättric Classic, and Hugo.

Fahrenheit wasn't as sweet as I expected it to be. It is definitely masculine, I wore this fragrance for a whole day and it just didn't feel right on my skin.

To my nose, Fahrenheit is a combination of watery woods and a touch of spice. The scent is quite recognizable, I have smelt this on strangers quite a few times in my life.

Some mention a petrol type note, and while I can see what they mean, it isn't as strong as what some people make it out to be. Fahrenheit smells gutsy and daring in a way. I would most likely recommend this fragrance for older men. It doesn't radiate a sense of youth for me at all.

The sillage of this particular fragrance is quite incredible, as is the lasting strength. I sprayed this fragrance once on my wrist, and for the next six hours, Fahrenheit enveloped me in a cloud of its scent.

I personally don't find this fragrance sexy, however I do find it refreshingly masculine. Thankfully this fragrance goes on smooth rather than bold and/or cloying. I feel that this kind of fragrance would really suit those clean-cut, somewhat conservative and goal-orientated men.

This is a superb perfume on men. So masculine. I think men who wear this know how to smell good and sexy.

I am a woman and I'm crazy about this perfume! I'm so addicted to it that I love it even as home spray...and I've stolen my husband's shower gel a lot of times. But it reveals its best qualities on a man:it brings me to compulsive sniffing!

Well, here where I live girls and women simply love this one. And I understand why: Fahrenheit is just GREAT!

On the contrary Women love this fragrance on men. A manager were I work wears this fragrance and I have witnessed strangers following him and asking what is that great smell. All of his female colleagues compliment him and that includes me. A fresh, clean, very masculine fragrance. Love it on men.

"girls think it smells really bad" that's just completely nonsense

Ahh Fahrenheit
Where to begin. Well I'll agree with most here that indeed, the head notes do smell like when you spill gasoline on your hands. After about ½ hour though, you will be rewarded with an amazing drydown. Even more amazing is the smell it projects. Indescribable, hard to tell the notes apart (at least for me...now...) but they sure do marry admirably.

Balanced, it evolves wonderfully, the head notes, the heart notes, bottom notes, you can't miss any of the transitions, and as it goes, it only gets better and better. Moreover, it has good sillage and longevity is way more than workday long. Workdays that needs to be long vu the price of the juice.

You guessed it, I love Fahrenheit.

It sure is expensive, not for everyone but definetely needs to be smelled once in a lifetime as you will surely one day smell it on someone else's. And be flabbergasted at the answer to the question: "What u wearing?"

- Fahrenheit.

P.-S. To all of those bothered with the petroleum smell, have a test strip sprayed, and leave it alone for an hour or so. Then fan yourself with it (the mouillette) instead of sniffing it. You might think different of it.

I consider it a great perfume. In the beginning it may even smell of gasoline, but then develops a delicious fragrance, because that is part of its concept. Not to mention that its design is unique. A true timeless classic!

i am aguy he used to use 5 bottles of parfums in 1 month,, and the issue i am trying to avoid using fahrenhiet and fine another one,,,but nothing like this f**cking cologne,,,fahrenhiet the old one is the best>>i used CK "MAN,EUPHORIA,BECKHAM,OBSSESION,.."
CARTIER "DECLARATION,ROADSTER,PASHA,ESSENCE",BVL "AQVA,NOIR,blv,notte",lalique "whitem ,ncre",bla bla bla nothing like this one and the old one not the new versions,,,fahrenhiet 1988

For many a classic. To my perception too powerful, really a smell of fuel. Too dense, probably too masculine, yet powerful.

This beautiful mostly masculinebut can be feminine fragrance of which you need just a little, should be listed under OAKMOSS! If you smell an oakmoss candle, it smells just like Fahrenheit, and yes, it does remind me of a leather jacket. I actually stopped a guy with his girlfriend back in the 90's to ask him what he was wearing, and i hate most men's colognes. Has a distinct rose tone also, but why is oakmoss not listed in the ingredients, Fragrantica??

no offence,
IMHO this is just rubber tyre or baloon in a bottled,
only the top notes that greats,n i enjoyed it,
for the price,very-very not worth buying.
sorry for the fans
ck man similiar with this,but lot better.

*sniff first b4 buy,
never buy fragrance based on great review or famous brand,u have individual taste

just wear jeans and white shirt under your brown leather jacket.
riminds me a leather jacket.
at the start it's fresh orange, but Tough orange.
at the middle it's more oriental woody
at the end it's a leather with musk.

at the bottom it's heavy and worm and at the top it's fresh citrus a bit worm.

you can't find anything like it, this is why i realy like it.

I think it is one of the best fragrance in longevity I ever tried, 2 spray on my skin and it last the whole day, even after bath, I can still smell the dried down mild musky with vertiver scent, superb high in it's quality! Overall, it smell green, floral, fougère and a little warm spicy with little sweetness and not too dried, carefully well blend into a very unique scent that last through decades, truly amazing!

So far I have not smell anything like this before in the mass market! Hope you get the idea that this fragrance is meant for those who are fashion forward, brave, bold and enjoy uniqueness!

The opening is a bit harsh oriental citrus(which people recognize it as petrol scent!), few minutes passed and the bright and great herbs mix with different floral scent topping with strong vetiver scent will raise your body "Fahrenheit" slowly! This one is quite unique in the way it projects and I like it a lot! Dry down is mild musky vetiver scent. This one last more than 8 hours on me! Great in projection! People will sure notice you from far, in a good way~

This fragrance truly unique, classy, pleasant and elegant all in one! I will give 9/10 for this one! One of my top choice!

Hi.

FAHRENHEIT is a ROOTY cologne.it is Great,similar to the other DIOR fragrances.The opening notes is a bit too rough for my nose but after 5 minutes it warms to an undeniable MASCULINE,PLEASANT and ROMANTIC.

The base notes is quite WOODY on my skin,invigorating with vetiver.You feel like a confidence unique person when You wear it and only with 2 spray can enjoy for a few hours.it is strong in SPECIAL way.

This wonderful scent not for day use because it is a little heavy in hot weather,definitely is an EVENING scent for a particular character in SPECIAL occasions.anyway it is unforgettable.

SILLAGE?OK

LONGEVITY?Like often DIOR colognes,Yes it is unparalleled.

8/10

How wonderful it is, after a decade or so of bluey aquaticy galaxolidey filmy masculine scents, to finally try Dior Fahrenheit with some perspective!

Take a deep, deep whiff of this on someone's skin and it hits you in a numbing wave: thick, petrol-laden spices and a swift rush of floraly things to save you at the last possible second. I'm a woman and I definitely use this; it's a dark little thing that either translates to me as "back off", or "sex juice", depending on how it's used... very highly recommended, especially for rainy or colder days.

If you know how much to wear, you are guaranteed to get some attention. A beautifully timeless, masculine, natural, sexy scent.

very one of a kind scent. once you wear it, there's no mistaking that farenheit scent-delicious!

the best .. been using it since 1990... i still have it ....

I'm amazed how some of you have smelled petroleum and compare it to this magnificent scent. Probably that's why you cannot appreciate delicate, refined smells.

Great masterpiece...

Don't think abt it JUST GO N BUY IT.
My dad has it from 1990 n he used to use it for special moments. 2day i 2 use it for special moments.
n for those who think its petroleum or rubber, plz go 2 a doc n hav ur nose check up.
Definitely 10/10.

This cologne smells divine to my nose!
The moment the bottle cought my eye,
I immediately wanted to try it out.
But as always, stupid me had to play it safe. So i decided not to put it on my skin, just take a whiff from the spraynozzle. Huge mistake! And so my experice got awful. Very synthetic and offputting. Like nothing I had ever experienced before. And not in a good way.. Disgusting!
But, there really is a big but.
This would soon turn out not to be the end of the story.
One day, I was walking through the perfumery again. Feeling as brave as I did, I decided to try it out once again.
This time on my skin actually.
Feeling Very sceptical, I placed my nose over my wrist, trying to inhale the scent.
It blew me right away!
At first, I just could not belive it. I almost had to pinch my arm.
But yes, the scent was indeed coming from me. And yes, it was incredible.
How the tables have turned!
As the deep red bottle suggests, my first impression was warmth. Caring and comforting. Even a bit dangerous, perhaps? A great start, for a great cologne.
As it started to develop, it got more and more deep and refined by each second.
I have a hard time trying to distinguish the citruses. But that's fine.
I smell the lavender, I smell the nutmeg, I smell the cedar and I do smell the sandalwood. A blend of multiple herbs and spices.
The floraly middle notes quickly subsides, and i do not detect any spescific flowers. But I can tell that they're there. Lifting up the composition. Making it more multidimensional.
It passes on rather quickly, making ready for it's basenotes.
This is vere the very "soul" of the fragrance lies.
With the basenotes swhirling all together.
This is truly artistic.
I have to say, I got plesantly surprized the other way around.
And Endymion, Don't feel to bad, maybe it just has to grow on you:)
It certainly had to grow on me!

Oh dear! Fahrenheit will always be a mystery for me. Maybe there's something wrong with my nose but with Fahrenheit all I can smell is a very week old lemon peel scent :( I'm very surprised that so many people find this fragrance "strong", "long lasting" or on the other side "smell of petroleum".
I don't get the unique and marvelous scent you write here :( For me it's a quite, safe, old and boring scent which I can detect faintly on my skin and on paper too. Not impressed at all, I wish I sensed all that I read here :(

Unique!!!! Probably a shock to those used to wearing aquatics. I think its a real mans fragrance, and I liked it from the minute I smelled the sample. The petrol not is simply awesome.

i luve that fragrance, cant be much better, its so fresh,clean,attractive and sexy!!

The second perfume I really liked and my all time favorite.
It's for intellectual pretentiousness, deep and mysterious.



** Update Jan 2011**
I bought a new bottle, (the previous had been around 2003/2004) and I think I know what some people here meant: Something has changed, The "gasoline" touch seems stronger now. Still great, just a variation.

the most unique scent of them all!!!! and i love it!!!!

Yet I come again with another review on this masterpiece... I'm amazed by this one again :) because i have not used this fragrance for a few months, and now i bought it again and i realized that... this for me represents the essence of my passion for fragrances! A few months ago i finished a bottle of this and i couldn't afford to by another one beacause of my financial problem :( And now i used again this beautiful masterpiece and i realized how i miss it! I like fragrances, it's my passion, i like all kind of fragrances... the new one's, the old's the niches all are beautiful and wonderful, but this one for me represent the essence!

Just another legendary and historical scent, among Eau Sauvage, Pour Un Homme (though I don't like this one!), No.5, Joy etc.

The leathery note in the middle part is the best of it.

As always, Dior makes it! :-)

Dior Fahrenheit is so dry and intoxicating. I love it so much.

I like the smell, like its name it reminds me of heat and fire. Just don't over due it. Good for night out and a winter type of smell. I wouldn't make it an everyday or a must have but worth a pick up if you find it well priced.

It's not bad, but it honestly does smell like gasoline (petrol) and pine trees. Though that's not necessarily a bad thing, it would be a bit odd to go around smelling of gasoline, people would think that you had been outside repairing a car.

Very good scent. It definitely has that petroleum-green smell to it. Last 8-10 hours on my skin with moderate sillage. A classic. 10/10

every time i smell this perfume..it turns me on. I have this boss who used to wear this one, i can't resist him when he gets near me, and now his already my lover. The smell was so enchanting and romantic, i feel i am dreaming or i am a in woods. It's truly suit to those man who are comfortable with themselves.

With Dior's FAHRENHEIT, I've finally met my match: a made-for-men fragrance that I would not choose to wear under any conceivable circumstance in this or any other possible world.

But, to be honest, I also would not recommend FAHRENHEIT to any man who was not deliberately, intentionally, consciously seeking out a scent that mimicked perfectly the odor of a mechanic who has not showered in three days. We're talking Billy Bob Thornton in Oliver Stone's film U-TURN. No joke. Is dirty black automobile grease mixed with sweat a sought-after masculine smell? Well, that's what overwhelms in the opening and persists through to the finish with FAHRENHEIT. Not a scent that I myself find pleasure in wearing or would find attractive on anyone else!

However, those who like this scent will be pleased to know that FAHRENHEIT has frightfully good staying power and sillage!

Fahrenheit is a unique fragrance - true, there is a slight "kerosine" note but don't let that put you off - I think its the Honeysuckle that makes it - Fahrenheit is a lovely fragrance and there is nothing like it. Staying power and sillage are great - a deserved classic!!

A lovely fragrance from Dior - it has a very woody drydown thats the agarwood you can smell - i love it and the opening burst of tar/gasoline is amazing - this fragrance makes my mouth water seriously - i love it and cant understand anyone who would not like it . You need to be a certain kinda guy to wear this and wear it well.

I have heard so much about this perfume, but you can’t imagine how I regret of testing that.

Smell was like insecticide spray & it didn’t get off my skin after many hours.

I think Murphy’s Law shall be including that BAD perfumes are always so lasting!


در مورد این ادکلن خیلی تعریف خوب شنیده بودم اما واقعاً نمیتونین تصور کنین که چقدر حتی از تست کردن اون هم پشیمون شدم.
انگار حشره کش روی پوستم زده بودم و بوی اون حتی بعد از چند ساعت از روی پوستم نمی رفت.
اما راستش رو بخواین وقتی بعضی از دوستهام این عطر رو میزنن واقعاً احساس می کنم خیلی خوشبو هستن.
در مورد خودم که اصلاً احساس خوبی از زدن اون نداشتم.
دوام و پخش بوی خوبی داره
همینطور که از این همه نظر هم بر میاد، پسندیدن اون خیلی سلیقه ای هست.

first impression: this is what being mercilessly RAVAGED smells like.
second impression (10 minutes later): ...where did it go and when did I smother myself in shaving cream?

Fahrenheit is a great fragrance. It has a smoked floral smell mixed with a warm spice base. Great longevity and projection. Women love it on man.

I adore this smell on men. If it wasn't so recognisable, I would seriously consider wearing it myself (I'm female!).
Worn by a wonderful man at my university years ago - I always think of him when I smell it. *sigh* :)

Bleh-

Fahrenheit's definitely a scrubber. I put some on my boyfriend and I wanted him to wash it off before my nose moved near his wrist. I agree with the comparison to a gas station. This is not elegant, but maybe bearable from a distance. I am picky about cologne-I want my man to wear a cologne I like if and when he wears cologne. He usually doesn't wear any cologne, and smelling this one on him for a few seconds made me really glad he doesn't wear any. Let's face it, most guys are not going to smell and choose a masterpiece when they go shopping for their choice fragrance, I've encountered very few men who are into fragrance, and none of them go for niche. Dior is a well-respected name, and that must stop men from being able to imagine the possibilities of good fragrance, if they think this is the best. With Fahrenheit marketed as the fragrance of studs, subliminal messages will influence choices....

Since this came out, I know there are other copycat scents for men, because I smell this kind of strong synthetic busy patchouli-laced sillage out and about, and it irritates me.

Just a question for men. I love fahrenheit. I adore it. I am a woman and i c onsider seriuously wearing it. Do you think, as a man, that this could be too strong for a woman? how would you say if you felt this scent on a woman?
I think this th most unique man perfume i've ever seen. The only disadvantage is that there are too many people using it. It's a bit too popular for my taste.

I find this perfume very intresting, unique,like no other ! Fahrenheit has personality, class, it's rich, bold, sexy, misterious. A winner !

Fahrenheit only asks one question.
It asks it loud and it asks it clear.

Do You Have The Balls?

I would talk about the notes but for me this fragrance is all about the image.
If you’re the kind of guy who is overly worried about offending anyone.... this is not for you.
If you’re the kind of guy who wants to be kind, sensible, and caring..... this is not for you.

This fragrance is for the cowboy who struts into the town square and looks the sheriff dead in the eye.
This fragrance is for the pirate that unashamedly leers at the pretty girl.
This fragrance is for the 17th century man who brazenly glove slaps an aristocrat and challenges him to a duel.
This fragrance is for the man who has confidence to live his life his own way. To confront any challenge with his head held high.... But more importantly, at the end of the day, this fragrance is for the woman that secretly desires this kind of man.

Longevity is also legendary.

Sorry to all lovers of Fahrenheit, but I don't like it at all.
It's a very strong pungent smell, not elegant and very common. This is probably due to the fact it used to be so widespread and many men bathed in this back in time. It was different and original at first, then it became a public nightmare.
I also knew a girl who wore it and I didn't like her, so I could be partial to the scent.
Nowadays is less common and if worn in small amounts is more bearable. Still not a fave of mine. Sexy? Well, it depends on the man who wears it...

I have been in love with this man's perfume for 16 years. Never bored to smell it. And still, everytime I smell it, I feel like in heaven. It just smells so sexy and mysterious. Bold, charm...sexy...calm...elegant...unique. Name it what you expect to smell from a man. And here you go. Fahrenheit maybe will continue to be one of the classic man's perfume that will still be the favourite for the next decades.

I agree it smell like freshly cut grass. A hint of BENZIN and leather. And a breeze cutting through a forest. Its OK but not the best.

This perfume is the best ever made on this planet.

The first smell of it is of petroleum, ture, but that lasts only a few minutes. Then it has kinda leather smell too in the beginning, musky... after a while again it has a deep smell of sandalwood.

Do not make a decision in a minute. I suggest you to get a tester of it, and try it on you, and on your skin directly. Especially on your upper part of your palm, close to your thum area...so that you can test/enjoy the smell of it whole day.

I am so much addicted to it. This perfume is not something you get fed up of in a month, or even after using a 200ml (6.8oz) bottle.... I use this perfume 4 times a day, including using it on me before going to bed. I am completely addicted to it.

Comparing to all other best perfumes for men, this one is the most elegant, and most wonderful.

What else have I compared with this?
1, Dolche Gabbana "Pour Homme", (NOT "For Men", which is a bit different infact). (Woddy+Leather)
2, Azzaro
3, Azzaro Chrome (Sea Breeze)
4, CK One. (Sea Breeze+Savage Flowers)
5, Cartier Essence. (Sweet Fresh Flowers+Musk)
5, Dior Homme (Woddy+Musk)
6, ...and all other perfumes made in France.

(Infact I have compared all other perfumes with Fahrenheit which are Made in France, as I am from France)

I have used all these above mentioned perfumes, and I couldn't finish their 100ml(3.5oz) bottles completely, and got completely fed up... but Fahrenheit, I use 200ml(6.7oz) every 3 months one.

...And when I order this perfume on the net, I buy 4 to 5 200ml bottles inorder to get a discount. So I don't buy them in ml/oz anymore, for me I now count them in litre.

I am in love with this perfume...I am addicted...to it. This is my perfume.
I knew it was for me the time when I first smelt it when I was 22 years old.. today I am 36, and I have been in love with this perfume for almost 14 years.

The BEST perfume ever made on this planet!

Thanks for reading.

i don't know why but it put me in mind of "Twin Peaks". Calm place in the middle of nowhere (woods notes) with hudge disturbing (petroleum note) aura above it.

P.S.
i'm entranced by adverts of Fahrenheit. Posters and videos are masterpieces.

this was the smell of a man i never knew. I was aroused when i first smell it. I was 15.:) Then i hated it.

I got it as a present from my ex and it gives me good memories everytime I smell it ... great perfume

From hell to paradise. This is what you feel when you test the perfume. Magnificent!

I love it! Smells like fresh cut green grass and makes you feel invigorated when you wear it. It came out before I was born, but hey..who cares!

This conjures up 2 contrasting scent pictures which clash about in my mind:

The first is opening a huge, creaking door into an old wood-panelled room - a library - with floor to ceiling dusty books, ancient leather chairs, carefully polished wood & a slow-clock tick tock in the background. Good breeding,refined, ancient yet constantly in vogue.

The other is rushing into the garage - the petrol, the turps, the greasy rusty metal parts & machinery. Wood turnings. Swarfega. Old leather gloves. Hot, hard-working, manly.

I can't help but link it to older men - classic & refined. I'd expect this man to hold the door open for you, pull out your chair, know his way round a wine list, but then be practical enough to fix the car....in other words, a touch old fashioned, but still utterly fab in 2009.

Strangely enough, I enjoy this warm, dry, leathery scent on my skin, too.

*A friend & I have just discussed that it's like the scent that Hugh Jackman's Wolverine might have - a little bit animal, a lot of leather, forests & warm manliness....now that can't be bad! haha ;p*

This is one of the worst scents for men ever smelled for me! Also some women used to wear it back in time.
It's very strong and piercing, awful on everyone, disgusting if overdone on the wrong chemistry and it seems that lots of men are drown to it. Maybe that's because it became a classic and well-known fragrance, also well marketed. I can't stand it. It smells cheap and common with a pungent note that make me want to puke. I'm happy for everyone who likes it. If a man comes around with this I'll put him into a shower!

I recently wrote a review of Creed's Original Vetiver, saying that it, along with Pinaud's Lilac Vegetal, was the worst fragrance I'd ever smelled. Well, apparently I had forgotten about Fahrenheit when I wrote that review. Words cannot describe how much I hate this fragrance. First of all, it smells horribly outdated now - just like the Le Car, piano-key rep ties, and glam metal, Fahrenheit represents the '80's at its absolute worst. It is also probably the most chemical, cheap synthetic fragrance I have ever smelled, like one of those horrible cinnamon Yankee Candles dunked in a bucket of gasoline and Aqua Net hairspray, with a heavy emphasis on the hairspray. Literally. Also, its ghastly, spicy stench can be smelled for blocks. It is the pinnacle of bad taste and tackiness. It's the perfect fragrance for the 37 year-old guy who thinks it's cool to hang out at underage dance clubs and hit on high school girls.

Warm, subtle and distinctive, this woody flowery fragrance is characterised by a resolutery contemporary meeting of extremes.
For men looking at their future through the power of fantasy... and a sense of unlimited freedom.

this fragrance is off the chain! my mom bought my first bottle of Fahrenheit for me for Christmas of '98. i had never smelled anything like it. i instantly fell in love with it. im 24 now and my love for Fahrenheit hasnt changed. all of the fragrance notes are perfectly blended for that musky-woodsy smell. i highly recommend it for all the fellas

it's rare , It's alien it's not from this world. I feel HE wears me.

I had it ten years ago, in 199X. At that time this scent among others was cool, expensive-sounding and unusual-into-face, in a "pushy" way.
Now I think I could wear it once a month - just for variation in scent, which is needed for every resposible human.
(... thinking about women's compliments, that "FUELedbyCHAOS" wrote here...)
I know, if You have seduced a particular woman, I mean if she is ready to make love with You, barely she will compliment your parfume.
They make compliments if they just like You OR if they understand Your desire to be mentioned.
Beware to be priced as "poor boy, he wants to be complimented".
I am talking about Fahrenheit Cologne. It is good, but TOO unusual.

Fahrenheit is off the chain! i have never found a cologne that smells as good as Fahrenheit.i often reminisce on the first time i got a hold of Fahrenheit. it was back in Christmas of 1998 when my moms got me the 1oz sample bottle. i immediately fell in love with it, but i hesitated to put it on, so i just left the bottle open and the smell of filled the room over the course of a week. im 24 now and my love for Fahrenheit hasnt changed. all of the notes are prefectly blended together to produce that musky-woodsy smell that gives a guy that suave and richy aroma about him.i have a fiancee and it drives her crazy when i put it on. it reminds her of me:) i recommened it to all men.

btw, i dont know why i mentioned Spyro the Dragon, but it was my favorite Playstation game at the time and it was the only thing i could seem to reminisce on,:P

Fahrenheit is off tha chain! i remember back in Christmas of 1998 when my moms got me the 1oz sample bottle. i immediately fell in love with it, but i hesitated using it, so i just left the bottle open in my room and it filled the whole room. it smelled of Fahrenheit for over a week, while i might add that my mom got me Spyro the Dragon(PlayStation) game and for some odd reason when i put on or even smell fahrenheit, i reminisce on that Christmas night in 1998. im almost 24 now and my love for Fahrenheit hasnt changed.i dont know all the notes off hand, but every note is perfectly blended for that musky-woodsy smell. it drives my fiancee crazy! im currently trying to get my hands on Fahrenheit summer, Fahrenheit 32 and Fahrenheit 0 Degree. i recommend Fahrenheit to any guy that wants a cologne that isnt too strong, but still wants to get tha ladies noticing him.

My previous review somehow got deleted, so I'll try again. I agree with the first review in that it smells like petroleum(but not even in a forest). It smells so much like burning tires that I will move away from anyone wearing it. I hear women like it though.

I'm a collector from Hell with over a thousand bottles. I get SO MANY more compliments STILL on this in 2009 than my $800 Clive Christian or Creed lines. Nothing compares to it and it seems to change perfectly on the right individual. It's one of the few you can douse yourself in and never be overpowering. It's a perfect blend of all notes, each one adding to it's timeless distinction. The base notes are very subtly proportioned so that nothing is overpowering. Forever my favourite, since it's introduction.

I always feel confidence...after wearing this perfume...some reviews say it's too strong...heavy but for me it's so lovely yet calm openning...althougt the base quite male to someone...cause woodsy note but..so sensual for me very suitable and get along to my skin coordinately!!!...right now it becomes my signature scent and my collegues say it's very suit to me as unaggressive scent..

is it me or it really smells so feminine?I think I can smell something like water melon which is not bad at all.it reminds me a bit black XS.I can smell something like petroleum too,but it's gotta be leather or nutmeg.the notes are very complicated and mixed,but totally it's too feminine.

A classic stand out iconic fragrance from powerhouse DIOR. I went on holidays to a Club Med in Greece in 1992 (I was 19) in late summer and was introduced to the scent then. It will always remind me of that first summer I have ever spent in Greece. I recommend this scent for summer/ late summer as it represents that season of ripe citrus fruits, oozing flavour and aroma in the later part of day, and when the sun sets over the sea, you can smell the sweet sap of pines and other warm Mediterranean woods. This is the perfect holiday fragrance! While Kenzo p.h. is the cool sea-breeze daytime sensation, fahrenheit is the warm evening and mild night: this of warm stones heated up by the sun all day, think of oranges, pines, and while you stand on the warm wood on the peer you are watching the sunset...it is magical, sexy, freeing, sensual, powerful, all at the same time! A masterpiece of a fragrance.

I love Fahrenheit. I smells so warm and lovely.......even at the end of the day. I get a lot of compliments when I wear it at work.

When I first smelled Fahrenheit, I was 12. I liked it then but i didnt care of parfumes very much at that age. Later on, i used many different scents, but I always kept coming back to Fahrenheit. It is definitely my favorite parfume, and I will keep on using it forever. I have a rare 1oz bottle of pure parfume ( it lasts for more than 12h,and I used it for like 3 times in 5 years), and a 6.2oz of EDT.I guess its the uniqueness that makes Fahrenheit so special, cause I have never smelled parfume which is similar to this.

I am a woman and I used to wear this one in my college days. It was (and probably still is) very similar to a discontinued women's perfume called Ultima II Sheer Scent. Fahrenheit was a little more woodsy than that one, which was why I chose it. My then-boyfriend (now husband) sometimes wore it, too, and it smelled wonderful on both of us.

Dry, woodsy, a hint of spice, a hint of clean citrus floral. It was quite popular in the early 1990's but it has now been ages since I smelled it on someone, so you could definitely wear it again and smell unique. This was a great every fragrance for any occasion, and for both men and women.

My uncle and father (different sides of the family) wear this.

If I dont know someones tastes.. i always but this as a present as it is really a smell you cant hate.

Masculine, powerful, sexy.. mature.. WOW!

I'm sorry, this one smells like crushed termites at my home in Australia... either that or cough medicine. Not a positive outcome at all, I'm afraid.

I'm using this one now, for my daily fragrance... and i'm so pleased! I like it a lot! Just so warm and sexy at the same time... and powerful enough 2 smell good all day! I like the top notes so mutch... i can smell leather and something like petroleum at the same time... very unique, and the base notes r just wonderful! Smell like sand, sea dono exactly but smell so elegant and gives an air of wealthy man! :D And at work so many compliments... just amazing!!!

I remeber well i was on holiday in Turkey when they launched this one, and everyone there was wearing this one so when i smell it i remember my holiday . It's not one of my fav fragrances

For me - it`s smell of freedom, smell of sea and a sand in one drop, smell of dream comes true.
I love Fahrenheit more than 10 years...

i got 2 say i'm agree with "afraafra" :D... on me 2 smell like petrol... but only on top notes. After, i like it... it's a romantic fragrance, and it's intense and long lasting 2!

smells like petroleum in a forest!

I don't mean to put anyone off, but I tried some of this in a department store when it was released. It smelled kinda nice when I sprayed it on, but within 10-15 mins. I was in the bathroom throwing up. Something in it made me very nauseous. I eventually forgot about it and a few years ago I smelled it again and thought it was nice and sprayed some on in the department store and left to go out to a bar with friends. As soon as we got to the bar I was nauseous and then remembered that this happened once before. I had to scrub it off so I could stay and enjoy myself. Fragrances work differently with everyone's skin chemistry. Sorry if I put anyone off, but if it happens to you at least you were warned. LOL
