Elegant and deep....Caracter, personality, masculin,mature.....Few words for this classic Farenheit.
Old scool style with great longevity and sillage. Absolutly recommend it. Nothing more to say. A masterpiece!

Great fragrance ........ that belongs to 10 years ago. Yeah some scents are classic as always but this is not!. It was a great scent on its time, but now, it is just a everyday scent.

Smells the same as in the 80s. Goes on sweet with the honeysuckle in the forefront of the charge. Lasts long. Powerful sillage. Never cloying. Garners compliments. Unique smell. I don't associate it with fuel unless I put my nose too close to a sprayed patch of skin. Long in the tooth but not at all dated; nothing 'old man' about it. Excellent bottle and spray mechanism. Have seldom been without a 100ml the past ten years.

It`s no secret or suprise that Fahrenheit has been re-formulated. I have worn both versions, and although they have some differences, they are one and the same scent. It`s like the old one was EDP and the new one is EDT. Hats off to the one behind the modification, it worked out very well indeed.

The old formulation is a bit stronger, more leathery with lots of dirty musk. It`s also smoother, denser comparing to the new one. The famous "petroleum" isn`t any weaker in the new one, to my nose it has remained the same.

That new formulation is much more nuanced with great amount of undertones to it. It is more fresh with very prominent orange / mandarin note at the top which lingers on skin for a long time. Still, very leathery too.
Both formulations are forever lasting.

Fahrenheit, old and new, is a wonderful leathery floral with animalic charachter. Captivating and strikingly unique. One of the best ever made.

Theres alot in this one and is great for colder weather. I don't care much for the oily/gasoline note that many have complained about...but the rest is decent. Its fairly unique...I'll give you that...but not for me.

Another of my all time favorites. I intend to re-introduce it to my wardrobe. An absolute classic.
