The Man Cobalt
by Milton Lloyd
The Man Cobalt by Milton Lloyd is widely regarded as one of the most accurate and powerful clones of the iconic Dior Fahrenheit. It closely replicates the original's signature blend of sharp citrus, aromatic lavender, medicinal leather, and violet-tinged powdery musk, with a slightly bolder and more concentrated projection that lends it a denser, more substantial feel. Many users note that it captures the character of the vintage 1990s version better than the current reformulated Fahrenheit, particularly in terms of longevity and sillage, with some reporting up to 10 hours on skin and days on clothing. The scent opens with a heavy, rubbery gasoline note reminiscent of a car repair shop, which evolves smoothly into a rich, musky-woody base with a prominent violet powder dry-down, making it feel both nostalgic and deeply complex. Despite some users noting a faint pickle-like note in the opening, the overall effect is overwhelmingly positive, with strong comparisons to classic formulations of Fahrenheit.
Pros
- +Extremely accurate replication of the original Fahrenheit scent, especially in its vintage form
- +Exceptional value for money, making it accessible and repeatable
- +Strong longevity and projection, often exceeding the official Fahrenheit formulation
Cons
- −Some users report slightly weaker longevity than advertised, particularly on hot days
- −The powerful spray nozzle may result in over-application, leading to intense sillage
- −The initial medicinal rubber note may be overwhelming for sensitive noses
