Fahrenheit Le Parfum
by Dior
Fahrenheit Le Parfum by Dior is a rich, evolved interpretation of the iconic Fahrenheit DNA, transforming the classic gasoline-ozonic scent into a smoother, gourmand-forward fragrance. The opening features a crisp blend of licorice, citrus, and suede, followed by a bold, warm heart of rum, spice (coriander, cumin), and violet leaf – giving it a more rounded, sophisticated profile than the original. The base is dominated by smooth, creamy bourbon vanilla and suede leather, creating a deeply comforting and luxurious finish that lingers well on the skin. Performance is exceptional, with longevity spanning 12+ hours and projection turning from moderate to strong initially before settling into a quiet, intimate trail. It's ideal for cooler months and formal settings, making it a versatile, masculine scent with a modern, wearable depth. While it retains some connections to the original through violet leaf and subtle leather notes, its vanilla-rum core sets it apart as a distinct fragrance. It’s widely admired for its elegance and quality, though some find it too sweet or unisex if seeking the hard-edged masculinity of the original. It’s best experienced on the skin to appreciate the full journey of its evolution.
