Fahrenheit from Dior, released in 1988 and composed by Jean-Louis Sieuzac, Michel Almairac and Maurice Roger, is a woody leather with a famous violet-leaf and petrol-like edge. People describe it as woody first, floral and citrus for most, with spicy and gourmand facets for a minority.
It opens with lemon, mandarin and bergamot against lavender, hawthorn and chamomile, fresh but already a little odd. The heart is where the signature lies: violet leaf, green and metallic, over honeysuckle, carnation and nutmeg, with cedar and sandalwood underneath. The base is leather and vetiver with patchouli, tonka bean, musk and amber, warm, dry and long-lasting.
Most wearers report long-lasting performance, and sillage is split evenly between strong and moderate. It is voted for winter and autumn and slightly more for night than day. It suits someone who wants a distinctive, slightly challenging scent with decades of history.
