Fahrenheit Dior Eau De Toilette

Fahrenheit by Christian Dior, launched in 1988, is a revolutionary and highly distinctive woody-floral-musk fragrance for men. It’s renowned for its unique blend of contrasting notes, creating a powerful, sophisticated, and often polarizing aroma that stands out in the world of perfumery.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Unique & Iconic Scent Profile: Stands out with its “gasoline” or “violet leaf-leather” accord, making it instantly recognizable and unlike most other fragrances.⁴ It’s a bold and artistic creation.
• Contrasting Notes: Masterfully blends fresh, crisp notes with warm, woody, and leathery accords, creating a dynamic and evolving scent.⁵
• Masculine & Bold: Exudes a strong, confident, and somewhat mysterious masculinity.⁶ It’s a fragrance for a man who knows what he wants.
• Excellent Longevity & Sillage: As a well-formulated Eau de Toilette, it offers impressive staying power (often 6-8+ hours) and a noticeable, but not overwhelming, scent trail.⁷
• Versatile for Cooler Seasons: While it can be worn year-round by those who love it, its warmth and depth make it particularly well-suited for autumn and winter.

Fragrance Notes:

Fahrenheit is often described as a Woody Floral Musk.

• Top Notes: Sicilian Mandarin, Lemon, Bergamot, Lavender, Chamomile, Hawthorn, Nutmeg Flower (Mace).⁹ These provide a fresh, green, and slightly aromatic opening.
• Heart Notes: Violet Leaf (very prominent, providing the “gasoline” or slightly metallic, damp green accord), Nutmeg, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Carnation, Honeysuckle, Jasmine, Lily-of-the-Valley. The heart develops into a complex floral-woody blend.
• Base Notes: Leather (a signature note that adds depth and character), Vetiver, Musk, Amber, Patchouli, Tonka Bean.¹⁰ This creates a warm, earthy, and leathery dry down.

Scent Profile:

Fahrenheit is complex. It opens with a vibrant, slightly tart citrus blend combined with aromatic lavender and green notes. The unique and often polarizing “gasoline” or “petrol” note comes from the prominent violet leaf, which is almost metallic and damp. This blends seamlessly into a rich, warm, and distinctly masculine leather accord, supported by creamy sandalwood, earthy vetiver, and a touch of nutmeg spice. The overall impression is often described as bold, daring, sophisticated, and somewhat melancholic or introspective.
