Fahrenheit Absolute Dior for men

This is clearly my favorite in the Fahrenheit line.

I find it to be far superior to the original Fahrenheit which, to my nose, is more of an olfactory experiment than a wearable, enjoyable scent; more of a smell than a fragrance.

Absolute makes me think of the original Fahrenheit as a raw material that, in its pure form, doesn't smell very good, but begins to shine when combined with other ingredients, lending an interesting touch to a composition.

The original's motor-oily theme unmistakably reverberates in Absolute, but it has been toned down – which is not to mean that Absolute is merely a watered down, blander version of the original: it rather takes what made the original unique and enriches it, embeds it in an overall much more wearable, enjoyable, but still captivating, intense, dark and very masculine fragrance.

An intense mixture of incense, myrrh, oud and violet that is somewhat reminiscent of sweet licorice with a salty undertone. It is headache-inducingly dark, heavy, sensual and smoky-sweet, in one word: Perfect.

This is such a perfect scent!

I always loved the original and i love this one just as much!
At the initial spray i thought it was exactly the same scent, it's only in the drydow that you notice an obvious difference, this one is a lot darker and smokier.

It really smells like incense, dark smoky thick incense, i'm totally in love with it!

This is by far the best Fahrenheit version and one of the few examples when the flanker overrides the original, with its name fitting perfectly the nature of the scent.
Absolute is absolutely ;) beautiful end enchanting! So smooth, enveloping, mystical, spiritual even and I feel virtually in heaven wearing it myself... If you want to meditate or seek internal balance or connect with the Absolute - this is an essential fragrance for this purpose! Yup, this is for the incence/myrrh/oud lovers of both sexes.
Fantastic longevity - lasts up to 8 hrs on my skin and much longer on clothes.
A masterpiece for cold season.

Maybe there was something wrong with my nose and my skin yesterday, but I put a couple of sprays on my wrist of this, and it was an absolut terrible experience, I wish I could elaborate more on notes but simple I cannot stand it, so I had to find the nearest restroom to wash it. Thumbs down!!!

This one takes some time to get use to. I bought a small 50 ml bottle after testing it. It wasn't love at first smell, but after a week of use, i started to really like this version. Had many compliments and FYI this EDT is really STRONG!! I find it smoky and somewhat sweet. The scent lasted more than 12 hrs on skin. I rate it 9/10

This smells almost exactly mid-point between the highly original, up-front Fahrenheit and the cooler, ice-cream like Fahrenheit 32 - the petrol/incense notes have been softened and the vanilla and musk content have increased with the addition of a cold note (is it a touch of mint perhaps?) I can't smell any Oud here, despite the claims.

I think of it as a slightly colder version of the original. Very pleasant and wearable throughout.

So far the only fragrance I've found that smells both hot and cold is Fahrenheit. A masterpiece: it leaves you puzzled and in awe.
This Absolute version recaptures the magic of the original, non reformulated one. It's different but plays the same magic trick.
It's the only perfume where the incense does not remind me of a church but manages to be sexy and evocative.
The hug between the sacred east (the oud) and the sacred west (incense) produces a miracle. Sorry, now I have to spray it...

Very balanced, masculine, stylish, sexy, powerful, with character.
I really like for some winter nights.

To keep things simple and short, imagine the original perfume with black pepper on top.
That's what "Fahrenheit Absolute" is all about!
If I wanted to become even more iconic, I'd say that this is the olfactory representation of having a punch in the face (yes you read it right!).
Especially in its drydown you can almost feel the blush, the heat and the pain.
Not for anyone, but valid somehow for a once in a lifetime purchase. Peace :)

I'll tell you that I really wanted to be impressed by this fragrance, and in fact this is really not a bad scent. As others have noted, it grows on you over time, and definitely is much more heat reactive than the original. I'd like to be able to say that I'm in love with this, I'm really torn by it for a few reasons.

One is that it's truly NOT the original, so if someone bought this expecting the same wow factor the original created (I still have a bottle of the non-reformulated juice), I must tell you this left me just a little flat. The next is that it's really a culmination of incense and oud. Oud. Just about every fragrance now makes some claim as to having an our note, which doesn't differentiate this quite as much as one might think. Oud is the new "aquatic" that was thrown at us during the 90's and somewhat after. If it was a superb Oud, I might have a different opinion, but this smells of a very synthetic note. Compared to other Ouds, I found this lacking, even when the myrrh and incense is factored. In short, there are better Oud fragrances than Absolute.

On its own merits, I'll admit that it isn't bad and it grows on you after being on your skin for a while, but it's just not something that I'd scour the globe to recommend to others now knowing the composition and totality of it. Again, it's a good fragrance, but for me, it falls short of the greatness of the original, and the original still carries that x-factor that makes it truly unique. This lacks that element, and while not the worst blind-buy I've had, it's not one I'd been keen to recommend very highly.

3.25/5 for me.

this was a blind buy(big bottle),too strong to give a real test in summer so will review in fall.But wow this is strong, like the original.I should have waited to buy it however I was very curious as to this oud fad.Initially I'm a bit disappointed ...
UPDATE;I find this to be a headache inducer,and if this is oud than I guess it is not for me.Always try before you buy!

I like it, but i still prefer the original Fahrenheit, which is a scent to die for.

Tested this again today, it is sweet, the agarwood and incense is very prominent. I think it smells quite simular to M7 YSL and I already own that so to me buying FA would be a waste of money.

I tried Fahrenheit original and Aqua, I love them both. This Absolute version take it one level up.

It is 70% similar with the original one, gone is the nasty gasoline smell, but they introduce a very warm and heavy incense smell, for me, it is so potent through out the second and last notes! It sort of give you such warmth and hot feel! Perfect for cold winter!

And this version last so long and it survive after my bath! Easily passed 10 hours. Amazing lasting power! Absolute Fahrenheit!!!

This is the winter version of Fahrenheit, wear it with care! Definite a buy for me! 9/10 from me!

Out of all the Fahrenheit flankers (summer, 32, aqua) Absolute is the only one that makes sense to purchase. Original Fahrenheit is a great versatile fragrance that can be worn all seasons. But if u want something for the really cold weather that's SLIGHTLY sweet, extremely unique, and maintains great projection and longevity than absolutely buy absolute. To me absolute smells like burning vanilla!! Smoldering feeling as described in the box. Not really your everyday fragrance, so i find myself wearing this for special nights only(cold nights even better). This is an extremely awesome smell will give you compliments. I hope its never discontinued.

sexy elegant man at night ...

opens sweet powdery oud with soft dark incense with a hint of Myrrh
dry down powdery oud .
close to YSL M7 but not that close

i'm ready to strip down

original mix according to Dior :
Top note
ESSENCE OF ETHIOPIAN MYRRH
Heart note
SOMALIAN INCENSE
Base note
OUD WOOD FROM LAOS

Dior has done it again. Another unique, captivating launch for men. Fahrenheit absolute is one of the best winter fragrances for men today. Flowers, woods, rocks, leather. And oh hey what is this burning like smell? Burning leather? Must be Dior house burning the perfume industry again!

Love this fragrance. It has the basenotes that I search for in any . I might buy it for my husband and use it My self to layer with any sweet and fruity not I happendto comeback across and like. Lovely long drydown. Great from the verv first sents, a mature fahrenheit.

Other masterpiece from Dior House. For me that got sick after using M7, i found a agar well balanced in a base of Fahrenheit, that i really loves since i was 15. So, i loved Absolute too, its more elegant, refined, i only wish the projection could be better.

I think I have changed my mind about this cologne. It´s really very nice. Even if I like the M7 better, I find it much better than the original.

It's a fragrance that I have to go back to a few times yet, to actually understand it. I confess it's a bit offputting in the beginning. Too dark, maybe, and I find myself a bit lost when choosing the right place and time to wear it. I keep putting it off because of that. After once again reading the reviews here, I'll keep in mind to revisit this fragrance once again.

If you're not familiar with oudh or like it in a softer interpretation Fahrenheit Absolute may be a good point to start. A nice variation on the original violet /leather theme, lightly enriched with a tiny dose of oudh (absolute) and incense. Pleasant, very wearable and still one of the best Designer's releases in 2009.

Rating: 7/10

Spicy, incensy, and dry. Fahrenheit Absolute is a great winter fragrance that just cuts through the cold and warms everything up. Only thing I could wish for is a bit smoother rounder base. I think also that the oud note could come forward a bit for my taste. In any case, it is very much in the vein of M7, but different enough that it is worth having both.

Better version of original.
It's similar with that violet effect.
More dark ,serious and a lot less popular.
Longevity 7-9 hours with good projection.
Fit perfect those snow days.

A new smoldering interpretation of Fahrenheit by François Demachy, Dior Perfumer-Creator.

He creates an intense Eau de Toilette that evokes this new voyage: the emblematic notes of Fahrenheit (violet leaf and leathery notes) are enriched with sensual, smoldering notes in Fahrenheit Absolute. Resins and rare woods that reveal their power and richness when warmed: Myrrh Essence, Frankincense, Oud Wood.

A smoldering leathery woody fragrance, an elegant and extremely masculine scent with sensual and mysterious accents.

به نقل از سایت دیور

it is just perfect... perfect in every meaning.

so warm, smokey, fiery, but yet subtle and pleasant. it is very complex and has few notes i can't really define, but some stand out such as agarwood, violet and resins. in the beginning the combination of incense and aoud gives a mystical, gothic, medieval character and also warmth and fieriness; later, a violet redirects the fragrance evolution to a totally different level, softens the intense aromas of aoud and resins in a groundbreaking way...

for some people its opening could seem a little too heavy, but i personally don't think of it that way; it is both intense and gentle at the same time... however, depending on your skin, it may vary, i guess;

on my skin the evolution is slow and the violet-less woods last very long, but also does the violet part of evolution - on me, its longevity is above average, about 10 hours maybe; however, the scent tends to be very close-to-the-skin, and that is something i actually like... it seem to be a fall, winter scent, and should be used in special occasions; it is a perfect combination with a suit and a tie...

unlike the other members here, i haven't tried the original one[it does seem weird, maybe] so i can't compare them, but i will eventually...

maybe it's a little bit heavy and even offensive for some, maybe it's not suitable for a guy who is just 20 years old as i am, maybe it is not compatible with my style and clothes, but it doesn't change the fact that it is totally one of my favourites and must-haves, maybe even the favourite one... this is definitely my next buy and maybe my signature scent one day...

my personal evaluation - on the scale of 1-10, i'd give it 17...

I was looking forward to smelling this one as the notes made it sound really exotic. I love incense and aoud and thought i would be transported on an olfactory journey to distant lands....unfortunately it smells like i have borrowed someones t-shirt that has been doing heavy labour for a few days in it. It smells of BO...not just any BO but stale BO.

Unlike the original Fahrenheit, this one is gasoline-fuel-free. The dry down is woody enriched with violet notes and a hint of aromatic (not sugary) sweetness.

Guys, I must confess somethinng. I am a lady and I recently bought FA - for myself :-)
This is a spicy and fiery scent which appears very unisex to me. As I also wear Black Aoud for example it was impossible for me to resist this hot temptation. I love incense and oud - how could I say no to Fahrenheit Absolute ?
Pepper right in the beginning, acompanied by lavender.Followed by incense and woods (the famous oud wood ?). Very uplifting and refreshing but never sporty.
Yes, a men´s classic on the one hand but the absolute version is much more oriental, spicier and has lots of fire. This scent almost smells "smoldering".
Well, I am no "Thierry Mugler Angel" lady and rather enjoy this first real men´s cologne in my collection :-)

So, I'm currently experiencing Fahrenheit Absolute in it's hottest degree. The first spray is an evening volcanic blast at Mt. Saint Helens. The intensity is like embers firing up your senses. Heated wood and burning violet incense... deep mysterious florals, and shadowy oud. Wait, what is that? Body odor? Surely its not mine. That same odd scent briefly experienced in Armani Code and HM. Will it go away, or do I just ignore this?

I've evaded the unpleasant aroma, but now after the lava in the bottle has cooled, I'm finding a very similar HM EDP quality. Of course Absolute isn't anywhere near as sweet, but richer, woodier and much darker with a dry-down nearly identical to Cartier Must for Women. I need some time to make up my mind about this one.

I wasn't sure if I sniffed the original or this version, but let me keep it simple. The scent I experienced was dry and smoky with burnt rubbery leather note. It's strong and had zero sweetness. It was definitely musculine and got even more macho when the woodsy notes came in, especially cedar. I think that's about it. I personally don't care much for it but it smells great on other people, especially for a macho man.

After two months that I use Absolute i can say that finally, after the bad Fahrenheit 32, Dior can places on a scene a worthy brother of the classic Fahrenheit. Fahrenheit Absolute not want to be the heir of classic Fahrenheit, but Absolute is a variant with Oriental notes / floral / woody notes.

Absolute starts with a stratospheric storm of violet, myrrh and incense. After less than an hour begins to emerge the oud and incense, the violet is still in the background. After two hours the oud decreases and woody notes, but especially incense, remains making the heart/middle notes.

After 4 to 6 hours is still a slight sense of oud and beautiful notes of oriental spices, wood and myrrh that makes the base notes.

A true masterpiece by Dior, worthy to stand alongside the classic Fahrenheit.
A scent of high rank, without doubt.

Wow, I'd definitely like to smell this one on a guy. I think it's actually a bit better than the original Fahrenheit, more oriental and mysterious but also (surprisingly so) less intense. It's a rather refined scent.

I love the rubber note, it's well blended in the composition and even though it stands out less than in the original, it has a more profound effect, on me at least.

I have tested this a little. I think it´s nice, but, there is a but to me. If feels like a mix of old F. and old M7. F I don´t like and old M7 I love. So I think there it is for me, I choose M7.

Hi.

Usually i dont buy other versions a fragrance but DIOR is one of exceptions as after original FAHRENHEIT and FAHRENHEIT 32 too i bought this one a few days ago.I find everything in a GOOD way.The scent,The name and The packet.

A surprise for FAHRENHEIT fans However in my opinion it is not as Amazing as original version because i think FAHRENHEIT is a UNFREQUENTED FABLE!This one has more tendency to be Young Character and is popular too Maybe because is less Strong than it.

A modern Classic,Masculine,Cryptic, Seductive and Warm fragrance for a Needless Man.Definitely not for Everyone.If you smell it in a Hot days it seems quite Heavy.it is like to walk through a Beautiful garden in the EVENING autumn when your Lover is with you,give you positive status About her.

Perfect for a concert too but it is not ideal for Office use.Anyway FA is much better of more new fragrances are without character.Overall i never tired The DIOR fragrances because they are like BRILLIANT in my collection.

Sillage?Good.

Longevity?Admissible on my skin.

7.5/10

It has many layers to my nose, firstly a lovable one, followed by Hugo Boss - like spicy notes, and lastly a dark caramel-like note. Finally this is fantastic, and the best one of the Fahrenheit group.

Has a spray of this the other day in Wigan. I think, so far, it's a fascinating frag and dark. Only tested it once but it certainly has grabbed my olfactory imagination. Want to try more..........

After one year of having this fragrance i can say that i was wrong. First i said that it's good but won't become so classic like the oryginal. . Every time i back to this scent i always have the same feeling "wow!" maybe it's not the everyday use perfume but it's classy and has own legend. you can't mistake this scent with anything else.
This is 21'st "Fahrenheit" with as great advertisin as oryginal one.
Respect for creators and marketing ppl.

Wow! What a great scent!
I think Dior's concept of a volcano is very well represented here.
Fahrenheit Absolute starts with the eruption, very aggressive, smoky (oud) and dominating. A rude character, indeed (I love it).
After 1 hour it starts a transition to a state of floral sweetness (iris comes to my mind), very pleasant I'd say. The beast is getting calm and transforms into a really admirable smell, sculptured by the initial turbulence of the lava.
I totally agree with Maddyrain that it has the Dior Homme's drydown, very elegant.
It's an incredible and surprising metamorphosis. Just like having two great fragrances in one bottle.
Fahrenheit Absolute may become my signature scent.

I must say that this one smells like a church. Incense + some wood = the exact smell of a church. It's dark, strong and this will suit a vampire just to make an anthitesis. I think a woman can wear this too.

Later edit: I smelt this today (08.06.10) and I must say that I adore the smell of a church with a light hint of the make-up that surely comes from the violet.

From me 5* out of 5.

Smells just like "casual friday" by Escada (discontinued) with a splash of the original Fahrenheit.
Note: At the store they wouldn't let me take a real sample,
only on paper.

Very sexy indeed! I wear the original Fahrenheit and the absolute at night and I wear Fahrenheit 32 during the day. You can't go wrong with any of them.

I think this is a wonderful, dark scent. Do you guys think a woman could carry it off? I'm thinking about getting myself some but my husband might think I'm crackers. Still - I could always pretend it's for him and then 'borrow' some....!

Such a good scent! I adore it because it s smells like holy water in Medieval days...

shocking! Great!

This is a twist on the origional fahrenheit . Bold but not as daring as its counterpart .

I still rate this as a top fragrance

The evolution of his notes is fantastic. Sillage and longevity are above average... really they are perfect!I love this stuff. Bravo Dior!!This is a masterpiece. 9.5/10 for me

Comparison to the original Fahrenheit; I have to admit this one is very better, less aggressive, more mature, less happy, more complicated, darker and mannish!
I tried it many times and I got many compliments each time. It took a year for me to get use to it and like it!
Now, this is it! I’m in!

در مقایسه با نسخه اصلی فارنهایت، این یکی خیلی بهتره. کمتر تهاجمیه، بیشتر بالغانه هست، کمتر خوشحاله، بیشتر پیچیده هست، تاریک تره و مردونه تره تا پسرونه
من بارها تستش کردم و هر بار کلی تعریف و تمجید شنیدم. یک سال طول کشید تا ازش خوشم اومد
دوام و پخش بوی خوبی داره
کریستین دیوره دیگه ناسلامتی

Absolutely fantastic!
I have always been a fan of the tradicional Fahrenheit, just because it is strong, different, virile. I have never felt the gasoline or motor oil that everybody always complain about.

But this Absolute version is even better. In this, the agarwood (also known as OUD) is very well mixed, not being aggressive as I felt in Black Aoud, by Montale. The incense note helps to keep the scent exhaling during all the time.

However, what conquered me was the evolved aroma, which tends to a floral-vanilla, hotter and sexier than the tradicional one. As time goes by, it becomes more sweet and creamy.

With no one doubt, for those who didn’t like the tradicional version, this is the solution.

Available in Canada, only if you are getting it from duty-free stores(paid 72 USD, including taxes, for 100 ml EDT). My wife likes much more the original Fahrenheit...I like the Fahrenheit Absolute too, but it doesn't last longer on my skin, after 2-3 hours I can't even smell it on my own skin...Because it is too weak, I will stick with the original one (planning to buy 200 ml EDT). Too bad, that is so weak, I didn't expect this at all, in special after I was reading some of your reviews....

Fahrenheit Absolute or should we call it Dior Homme Oud Version? It has a floral note that reminds me of Dior Homme's iris, but I guess it's the violet. The oud in the beginning recalls YSL's M7, but weaker.

Not very strong on my skin as well. As an eau de toilette intense, I expected more from this.

i had it recently and i have to say
although the original fahrenheit was so arguable i loved it to the core and it's my favorite till this moment but i never owned it though
the absolute has a bit of the original but darker and hotter it's a real quality scent longevity is great
but i still keep my loyalty to the original

Got it ultimately,simply awesome!specially the drydown,a scent worth the buck.

As a fan of Agarwood scent and a Dior enthusiast, I was counting seconds to see this product in the market. So, yesterday, upon seeing it, immediately purchased a 100ml bottle of it, though might had gone for the smaller flacon, if there were any testers around. :-(

Top notes are a bit intense and spicy, but nice. The middle phase is creamy sweet leather, in a lovely way. But drydown notes are a bit intense dry woody, but yet acceptable. You can feel a touch of smoke all the way, in a perfect style.

Longevity, specially considering an ABSOLUTE version of a cologne, specially a Dior product, was a bit weak on my skin. When I wore more to make it lasting longer, the drydown notes were too much in the face that made me reluctant, if not to mention that even at home they started to complain! :-(

Experimentally, I realized that just 2 whiffs would make a very nice attractive smell. Do not wear it more or it might turn out to be unpleasant.

Conclusion: A nice and classy masculine frag. Not very romantic, but nice for special occasions. Could also be worn even for mild warm days. Humid weather could even upgrade the smell.

IMPORTANT: As many other Dior and Chanel products, it takes time till you go liking this stuff.

About 7/10... but... guess I wouldn't buy it again.

the perfume is really good :) , i really like it , im seriously considering it , but although its not in the notes , there is a very noticable vanilla in it that takes about 30 minutes then shines through !
its nice but imo will not be a classic at all but worth buying , the original fahrenhiet is in the background but this one has a new character , test it , its worth the try , and if u like it , go for it its a dior !!

i think absolute is far more olfactive & exotic than the regular one ; must try

the best fragrance i ve ever smelled sexy classic & piercing///////////////////

I am using this now,it is great when the same perfume stays but grown a bit,I smell vanilla in it,but the old F stays on a side

I love Fahrenheit; but this intense flanker is to die for!

If you love the original and comfortable trying new fragrances you have just got to try this new 'absolute' intense EDT!

The packaging and bottle are brilliant works of art and very appealing to the eye. It speaks class, sophistication and daring all in one look.

Although an extremely male-oriented fragrance, I'm sure lots of women will also love it; It's quite similar to 'Kingdom' by Alexander McQueen, but it's not for the 'girly' of girls, nor the conservative of men. It's not a youth/teen/nightclubbing scent at all so don't waste it at raves and parties or in casual/sporty/hot occasions.

In my opinion, wear it moderately to the office to impress when meeting people as it goes really well in good suit, even more for an intimate dinner date and in the bedroom - well you have to use your own judgement there.

This is a fragrance I feel very guarded about; like original KOUROS, Body KOUROS or JOOP! Pour Homme. They are intense creations so they need to be worn on the right occasions.

'Fahrenheit absolute' starts off as a darkly sweet violet, then in about a minute, the dirtiest, sexy, 'musky' scent takes over (agarwood, myrrh and incense), so incredibly intense it was enough to knock me into a hedonistic state of euphoria which left me wanting more!

Oddly enough, for such an intense fragrance, it quickly moves to another phase of 'smouldering' discretely on the skin like the hot magma it was inspired by.

The fragrant hint of original Fahrenheit lingers, but this close-to-the-skin perfume stays on for a long, long time and reminiscent of 'Eau Sauvage Extreme'.

The lasting strength is not strong, unfortunately, but I know I'm wearing it because I can smell my own skin and that's pleasure enough for me. I can absolutely guarantee that this will be a wardrobe staple for me as long as I can appreciate and still find it on the market.

it is absolutely nice parfume, woody and floral, it will be a classic like the first fahrenheit!!

It shares common base with the classic one.
This is more woody and incensy which makes it more darker and bitter.
I dont like the classsic one and this one i didn't like as well, but better than the original for sure.

Fahrenheit was my first signature scent, and I always loved it's beein special and different. Among years I have tried various Summer, 0°, Fahrenheit 32, but only the original one was the one, was untill yesterday. I have tried Absolute and now I have a new love. I reckognize myrth, incense and violet with a new warm vanilla note, truly a great scent, good job Dior.

I'm not a fan of regular fahrenheit but i like "absolute".

My first thought - "Absolute" doesn't have those characteristic note of motor oil that "fahrenheit" does. This one is more wearable version of "fahrenheit" which means that it isn't so controversial like oryginal. I must say that "Absolute" also has it own soul. It's warm, close to the body and long lasting. I really enjoy those specially note of hot magma (incense+myrrh i think).

After wearing it for about 3 weeks i like it more and more. This one shows us that also "commercial" and "popular house" scents can be great.

It's my type for winter and fall!

I tested today aswell and I LOVE IT too good work !

OMG!
This is THE olfactory sensation of this year so far and arguably might be the best so far.

I have always been a fan of FAHRENHEIT, the original, that sadly has been reformulated since the LVMH group has taken over the smaller independent perfume houses.

Essentially, this is a completely NEW fragrance rather than a mere "update" of a dated original similar to the relaunch of the VW Beetle back in 1998, with the difference of this being a total winner!

The first spritz was somewhat unconvincing, just like a "new colour" you'd try in a watercolour exercise, but this stuff literally grows and reacts with your skin over a longer course of time!

Initially, you'll smell dull wood, some spicey, citrusy something but after a while the incense emerges and the final dry-down is a lovely warm, homely and sensual/ sexual vanilla, amber, musk, plum, heliotrope note that is "to die" for!! This is an absolute classic, whether you call it nouveau, retro...it definitely is an INSTANT classic and I am so over the moon!!

I have only just discovered it today in the UK in a BOOTS drug-store in London, but I will DEFINITELY add this sensational scent to my autumnal olfactory wardrobe!

THIS IS A WINNER!!
