Our take
What does Fahrenheit Le Parfum smell like?
Fahrenheit Le Parfum, launched by Dior in 2014 and composed by François Demachy, takes the DNA of the 1988 Fahrenheit and makes it rounder and darker. Hawthorn, lavender and bergamot open with a lightly floral freshness. The heart keeps the line’s famous violet, now more powdery, bound to supple leather and a lemony, resinous elemi. In the base, benzoin and tonka bean add a balsamic, vanilla-tinged softness while vetiver keeps an earthy trace. The petrol-like edge typical of Fahrenheit fades into a warm, elegant, almost comforting velvet. It smells like the same man, older and in a darker coat.
When to wear it
For autumn and winter evenings; it suits men who love the original Fahrenheit but want it softer.
It belongs to the Woody, Leather family. Fahrenheit Le Parfum is one of 15 creations by Dior in our encyclopedia.
