Fahrenheit Le Parfum

Fahrenheit Parfum is a masterpiece. The way the mandarin, coriander seed, liquorice root, and violet leaf pull together to give you the olfactory texture of suede is phenomenal. It’s a real olfactory treasure. Boozy Bourbon vanilla, amber, and vetiver overlaid with a green, suede-like haze. It’s actually quite arresting, and I often find myself thinking “why don’t I wear this more often?” when I pick the bottle up for a sniff, only to remember it requires a certain masculine chicness to pull this off on a more regular basis than I can muster up on a regular day. This, like the discontinued Fahrenheit Absolute, is an interesting going out perfume. I’ve never smelled either of them on another man, but I distinctly recall original Fahrenheit being everywhere in the early 90s, and whilst the DNA is present, this is not the same, not even close, and unique enough to be a standalone treasure in the Dior men’s lineup.

It stands on its own. No need to compare with others nor the edt. My all-time favourite fragrance. Manly, deep, boozy, the vanilla is somewhat sweet but paired with suede and violet leaf, it is magical. Longevity and sillage is great. Once I die, I'd like a bottle buried beside me. And I have some fragrances, even niches, and tested many in my life. So that is how I maintain my opinion: my all-time favourite. Demachy knew how to create.

Fahrenheit version for seniors. It's different but definitely correlates with EDT. I love the EDT because it has the anapologetic burning rubber drive. Le Parfum is made to avoid drama and enjoy peace, like a retirement. Dior produced a flanker but stripped my favourite part. I still like Le Parfum and respect its awesome blend.

This really underdelivered, People on yt are LIARS this has got no corelation with the original fahrenheit AT ALL it is something very different taht resembles DIOR HOMME and GIVENCHY GENTLEMAN EDP which I HATE https://youtu.be/jQnmMbycmic heres a proper review.

Now thats a classic one. Difficult to pull off, imagine it like a nice bottle of smoked whiskey. It can definitely become a signature scent. Its strong classic and masculine. Definitely not for any younger person. I used to wear it but it ain't for my age honestly, even tho I got many many compliments with it. Its price is alright. Like any other designer fragrances honestly and it lasts. Perfect if you are into strictly masculine and strong fragrances and you just want to smell great. Be careful not to overspray because it will be overwhelming. Note: this fragrance for me it's a winter/ fall one (day,night) any other season it smells heavy. Goes well with anything leathery

It's definitely not worth the price. I smelled it at someone I know's house and it smells like cacık made with rotten cucumbers.

برای دومین بار دارم تست می‌کنم. نسخه اصلیش از این فلنکر خیلی بهتره. این یکی به خاطر وجود وانیل خیلی شیرینه و اجازه‌ی بولدشدن بقیه نوت‌ها رو اونقدر نمی‌ده ولی درای داون کندری جذابی داره. حالت بنزینی توی این نسخه خیلی کم شده ولی همچنان حس می شه.

I just filled up at the gas station on my way to a get together. It is Fall 🍂 🍁. I accidentally spilled some petrol on my Alden 504 boots. I get to the soiree and pour myself a glass of some limited edition Bookers or equivalent and I sit down on the leather couch. The host is burning all kinds of Autumn themed candles around the house filling the air with a caucophany of pleasantness and I start to catch wafts of the gas on my shoe. Should I apologize and explain to anyone who may catch a whiff? No, I am not self-conscious about it, quite the opposite. I wear it proudly. It is so strangely comforting and addictive. I feel destined to be right here and now.

This is hot, spicy, gourmet fragrance that has very nice sweet dry-down on skin. It is so unique and sensual but still smells masculine. The booziness of this fragrance makes it perfect for romantic nights our and winter holidays with family.

I used to write sarcastic comments about this. But I've changed my mind — please forgive me ! I have small 1ml and 2ml bottles that I kept sniffing more and more often until .... I fell in love with them . Full bottles smell different than samples I told myself I wouldn't buy any more perfumes, but I just went ahead and bought this one, from a reliable store that scent, that Incredible scent. It's like burning mandarin, vanilla doused with alcohol and herbs, with a hint of violet. It's kind of like an EDT, as a fiery scent. smell like fire. Better than EDT I love this shit. This will make you feel like the main character in a movie. Edit: mandarin tone is noticeable for a longer time now as bottle is opened for some time. amazing. And It still HAS that rebellious bad boy atmosphere as EDT. That box, bottle, the color of the setting sun. Absolutely amazing. It's such a perfect idea as a whole.

An excellent, complex fragrance with leather as a key component. Opens fresh with minty citrus, spice and something sweet, like tea with honey. Smoked green notes, possibly pine, follow, along with brief aromas of plasticine which is experienced as dark waxed leather on the skin. It remains citrus forward but becomes very floral with an expansive ozonic quality. Smells "oriental" and very natural. Develops a boozy aroma along with oakmoss and nutmeg, it's complex and does have the famed petrol note of the original albeit in a much softer rendering. I wouldn't call this a vanilla fragrance and was surprised it's given as the top accord? Performance is excellent all round and will wear fine from spring through to autumn but will shine best in hot weather. Will also work in the evening. It's a little mature leaning, ages 25+, but could be unisex by today's standards. Unique and memorable.

The original Fahrenheit, with its black petrol and cheesy violets -I’m still in love with it- is a postmodern revolt, but Le Parfum is a marvellous subject of modern art. Demachy has presented a contemporary art painting with old paints. Classic dna just gives you a glimpse through the doorway and then you are left with boozy, spicy vanilla floating on a mesmerising suede. The quality of Dior is beyond dispute.. For me he is Fahrenheit’s most charismatic son. His respect for his father, his adaptation to the present and his outstanding performance are enough to make him a unique collector’s item. Simply 🤌🏻

A great variation on a same theme. It's still very close from the original, and yet clearly different. It doesn't smell like gasoline on the opening anymore, and more like leather and liquorice. Even if you dislike the original, you might want to give this one a try. Not blind buy safe. Very strong fragrance, do not overspray this baby. And don't use it on hot summer days.

Probé Fahrenheit por primera vez hace poco y entiendo por qué tiene tantos años siendo un clásico. Desde el inicio se siente algo diferente a la mayoría de perfumes modernos. Tiene una salida fresca pero al mismo tiempo un toque extraño e interesante que con el tiempo se vuelve más cálido y profundo. Lo que más destaca para mí es ese aroma entre cuero, madera y un matiz ligeramente ahumado que lo hace muy reconocible. No es un perfume dulce ni juvenil; tiene una vibra más madura y con bastante personalidad. En piel me duró varias horas y la estela es bastante notable, especialmente durante las primeras horas. No es una fragancia para todos, porque tiene un carácter muy particular, pero justamente eso es lo que la hace especial. Si te gustan los perfumes diferentes y con identidad propia, definitivamente vale la pena probarlo. Para clima fresco o de noche funciona increíble. 🔥como lo conozco? mi padre lo usaba de joven. el me lo mostro. es una ganga de perfume! recomendado

(Comparison of new formulations of the EdT and the parfum (Le Parfum)) We’re not going to go into vintage Fahrenheit here. Perhaps another day I will do a write-up comparing the new formulation of the EdT to one of my vintage bottles from the early 1990s. Suffice it to say that Fahrenheit is different, but not markedly to the point that you are truly missing out. Dior have fortunately and thankfully kept this juggernaut well intact over the past 30 years. To keep it very brief: the fuel accord has been dialed back in new formulations, and the freshly tanned leather put more forward. Only Fahrenheit devotees and vintage collectors will feel a need to have a (expensive) vintage original, so do not rush to your preferred aftermarket resale app on your phone with your mortgage payment in hand. It is honestly, for most people, not worth it. The Le Parfum - now that’s a different installation to the Fahrenheit saga, but despite some of the flack it has received I agree with many others that its a welcome and compelling new chapter, especially when compared to some of the other Fahrenheit flankers lobbed at us over the years. The opening of the EdT instantly states to you that you’re in for something different. I’ve never truly bought into this note pyramid; it is likely yet another example of a house overcomplicating things to grab attention. Or perhaps, given the unusual and complicated story behind Fahrenheit, they just weren’t sure what to put. There is a warm, honeyed, and slightly sweet floral facet. Hawthorn has this, but so does honeysuckle and chamomile. You pick. Then there is the “fuel” note Fahrenheit is so famous for. Violet leaf has this for sure, that chemically, volatile, hyper-herbal ammonia type quality, but hawthorn can also have this facet as well. Which one is bolstering which? You pick. Amidst this swirl of warm yet volatile contrasts are a touch of aldehydes, a shimmer of bright yellow-green and sour bergamot, and a touch of oily soapy lavender. It’s weird, and it shouldn’t work, but it does. Brilliantly. Immediately the freshly tanned leather accord plays upwards. It’s hot and animalic. This imagery has been used before but it is truly the best way of putting it: imagine a motorcyclist’s leather jacket in the summer heat, the heat and humidity forcing the tanning chemicals’ VOCs to off-gas into a cloud around the bad boy biker, and you clearly perceive that he spilled fuel on himself at this stopover. That’s pretty much it. The EdT finishes on an aromatic woody and dry patchouli inflection of this leather. As for the Le Parfum, its opening dials back the oddity of the EdT by presenting waxy-fruity and spicy rainbow peppercorns, a juicier bergamot than the EdT, and ample amounts of oily lavender. Though the contrasting and volatile nature has been mostly erased, there is a muscularity and lawless energy here that makes you think you are still speaking to the same bad boy biker, but perhaps he’s traded in the biker’s leathers for a field jacket instead… and maybe took a low dose benzo. Err… maybe just grown up a bit. The violet leaf is still present in the Le Parfum, but it’s been steered to an oily herbal direction that has significant overlap with the lavender. The vanillic benzoin-heavy amber base is making itself known, and its swirling-about with these domesticated notes from the upper layers gives Le Parfum a refined playboy’s swagger and sexiness. I wouldn’t call Le Parfum polite, but it’s just more polite than the EdT. Fahrenheit is still a bit of a lout. The leather accord to Le Parfum is darker, smokier, and earthier thanks to birch tar as opposed to the hot-animalics of the styrax in the EdT. It’s dialed in with the deep vanillic amber notes very well, the gentle smokiness keeping the amber aloft and never letting the benzoin steer Le Parfum downwards into a sweet and lumpen vanillic mess. Le Parfum does get a touch sweeter, tamer, and more vanillic at the final skin scent but the smokey charred wood facet still lingers a bit, and the “bourbon vanilla” description becomes quite apt since this smells like the charred barrels used to age bourbon. Our bad boy has maybe had a bit too much to drink, it seems. I’m going to leave the EdT right where it is because I cannot say anything novel about it that others already have not. It’s a timeless masculine leather classic that is likely going to live on for another 30 years and longer - or so I hope. If you’re an animalic leather fan and you haven’t smelled this, you’re failing. The Le Parfum deserves some more time and comments because it is, honestly, genuinely very good and a very pleasant spin on the original. It’s always a fraught endeavor messing with a classic, and I’m going to bet that Demachy was none too thrilled with the assignment (particularly given the deserved lack of success for some of Fahrenheit’s earlier flankers) - “you want me to do WHAT to Fahrenheit now??” “Make it a sweet leathery vanillic amber, Franky.” He nailed it though. This is the only Fahrenheit flanker I own, and the only one I have ever truly desired to own. Look to the Le Parfum when you want Fahrenheit but Fahrenheit made more tasteful for formal occasions or date nights in cool/cold temperatures. Keep the bike at home.

A nice bold fragrance. Smells like Robert Graham Fortitude. Very masculine boozy fragrance. Yet sweet.

Hate me all you want but for me this screams best bold summer fragrance when applied properly, 1-2 sprays to not hit that too heavy side of it. The vanilla is just amazing and the leather is pelasent in the warm air, masculine, stands out. 10/10

The best version of Fahrenheit but I just dont find it very versatile. Its more of a formal day or night out scent that I just dont find enough situations to warrant owning a full bottle. Very addictive bourbon vanilla added makes this DNA much more mass appealing and easier to wear. Overall score. 9/10. A great fall and winter Masterpiece!

I got a full bottle and it got a hint of sauvage elixir.

I really love this fragrance. It is quite strong and therefore situational. I used to have the OG back in the 90's 00's and it was everywhere. This is a more mature version of it and probably a better fragrance (modernised a bit). I like this so much that I sometimes spray the back of my hand at night/bed time to chill and enjoy the fragrance. I only have one bottle so I might get another in case they reformat or discontinue it. Scent wise the notes are pretty accurate reflection I think it is way more feminine than the OG but I honestly think it is one of the best smelling fragrances out there, no matter who is wearing it Top Notes Suede yes Licorice not so much to my nose Sicilian Mandarin beautiful opening MIDDLE NOTES Violet Leaf OG vibes yes Rum yes nice dry down Coriander dont get this much BASE NOTES dont get this much Bourbon Vanilla yes nice dry down

Le Parfum is better than the original - yes, it might not have as much of the polarising petrol note/effect as the OG had, but there's this sun-burnt tarmac that replaced it with some anisidic sweetness whilst preserving the DNA of the Fahrenheit that I used to smell everywhere in the early 2000's. Actually, the original had also this urine-like drydown that I remember rushing to wash off, back in the day. I dare to say that this is likely the best version of Fahrenheit that was done with an understanding of the changing trends. Dior preserved the legacy of this iconic scent. The bottle has also much better proportions; just cannot fault it. 10/10

Francios demachy is a great genius!! I will explain why. First, i want to say a few things. I was 19 when the og fahrenheit came out. Had it, loved it, and experienced the impact it had on the nightlife scene and in general. It was awesome! I also have a vintage bottle. Now to the possible triggering statement. The Le parfum is better then the OG ! Certainly the current version. That's how i feel , and i love and loved the og for many years. For a long while i avoided it because all the talk of the vanilla. But to my nose, it's not a vanilla centric parfum. Not at all. People say there is no gasoline accord. I disagree. It's a bit different then the og's accord, and here is Demachy's genius move. The mind is a complex mechanism and what Demachy made me feel is, it's just like i am surrounded by fahrenheit. But a better, warner, smoldering,sexier and stronger fahrenheit! It's an amazing achievement, because i had already came to terms with the fact that fahrenheit is dead and gone. But here it is ! Resurrected. And a whole lot stronger and better then the current edt. A miracle! And it's true, there is a sweetness vanillic accord. But not the usual vanilla slapped and forced into the fahrenheit dna. It's more like an awesome fahrenheit rock candy with rum and brown sugar. Not too sweet. To me, giving that warmth flame vibe better and sexier then the og. This flanker gives so much respect and deep understanding to the fahrenheit creation, that it manages to refine ,enrich and ultimately to enhance and upgrade the og. And that is an accomplishment i have not witnessed in the frag "game". So, to Mr Demachy.. thank you for this huge miracle.

Am i the only one smelling a strong iris tone in this? Smells similar to Dior Homme Intense/Valentino Uomo Intense

Niche quality, Dior masterpiece. Loungin

I like everything about this fragrance...except the ozonic violet leaf. Under that violet leaf I get lots of vanilla, rum, and even a nice little hint of licorice. I just can't stand the overwhelmingly dominant violet leaf that makes up such a huge part of this fragrance. Ah well, you can't win 'em all.

Okay, its iconic. But I don't get it, why would someone want to smell like petrol? Smells like petrol to me and it makes me nauseous.

I'm still getting used to it, but I haven't been able to like it so far. I keep coming back to this perfume, yet it just doesn’t click for me. There is so much booziness and bitter sweetness that it actually makes me nauseous (probably because of the vanilla–rum combination). I also miss the uniqueness and freshness that were prominent in the EDT version. To be honest, this scent isn’t unique at all. For instance, it has a very similar scent profile to Givenchy Gentleman, except that one includes an additional orris note, which makes it more wearable in a professional environment, at least for me. I admit that this is a high-quality fragrance with strong projection, and it could be a great choice for those who enjoy this level of booziness in a perfume. It’s just not for me. EDIT after more than 6 months: Okay, now I like it. The more than half-year maturation period was really needed for the fragrance. The cloying rum note has softened, the beautiful mandarin has become more prominent, and the leather accord is now more noticeable as well, accompanied by subtle floral nuances... ahh finally.

It may not be appealing to you or others at first, but it has its effect

Perhaps the vial I got was a scam or something because all I get is pencil shavings & bugspray.

Dior Fahrenheit Le Parfum Longevity: 9/10 Silage: 9.9/10 Scent Profile: 8.5/10 Words do not describe how long I had been waiting to get a bottle of this fragrance (It is my profile picture, that's how bad i wanted it). I had trouble sleeping because every time I tried to find this failed. So, I just bit the bullet and decided to commit to the blind buy. My first impression of this fragrance was an intense peppery-mandarin note that none of the reviews described, but after about an hour, it settled into a violet-boozy vanilla drydown that just screams holiday spirit. Then the base reveals a very smooth and spicy pepper and suede, with a dominant vanilla note. A few days later, I wore this fragrance out for the first time to church. After a while, the fragrance started to smell like chai tea due to the intensive coriander and vanilla suede. I got a few compliments, but not too many. Overall Fahrenheit Le Parfum is a professional fragrance that you wear to serious affairs, like meetings or funerals. It wasn't meant to be youthful, but instead meant to be sophisticated, grown, and mature. Not a safe blind buy at all (Yes, I blind bought it but because it's so rare to find a tester). But besides the fact, this is one of the best Dior fragrances of all time, and one of the best leathers of all time. Very reliable, but not everyday, fragrance. (Side Note: I sprayed a single spray in the air, and I walk across my entire home and it smells like Fahrenheit Parfum. I guess bonus points, but I don't know how to feel about this.) 8.8/10
