69 Fahrenheit

This scent just took me through a trip down in memory lane as I was only in my early teenage years when I last smelled this. So classic so nice 1990s just came back 69 Fahrenheit is the reminiscent of the vintage release for Dior Fahrenheit performance test projection strong for first 4 hours then going smoother but not a skin scent directly. Still there and actually complimented by my daughter 16 hours later A very well done scent with an unbeatable price

I pretty much agree with the previous review. This is a reinterpreted/deconstructed take on vintage Fahrenheit, with the petrol accord (to my nose, a result of how the citric top notes and violet leaf octine esters interact) removed and a medicinal sweaty nutmeg "body odor" accord amped up a bit. Additionally, the fougerey "aftershavey" aspects of the original are gone, making this a bit more of a straight up chypre than Fahrenheit is. 69 Fahrenheit focuses on the late summer/vernal (insects chirping, cut grass, sweltering heat fever dream) aspects of the original, with a vivid chamomile/hawthorne/honeysuckle floral soapiness, a bit of an ozonic methyl octine ester green violet leaf, and a lot of Terre d'Hermes-esque iso-e super/vetiver in the base. There are not much in the way of top notes to discuss here and I prefer to wear even the modern Fahrenheit formula, but this is an interesting novelty fragrance if you want to smell that specific aspect of Fahrenheit amped up.

Great job. It's a bit more funky in the opening that what I remember from Fahrenheit but it is dense, bold and it lasts. When spraying I see the perfume oils stay on my skin for 2~3 min while the alcohol evaporates. This is indeed highly concentrated and the 'parfum extract' claim seems plausible.

I love the way the older vintage Fahrenheit smells on my husband. This was supposed to be a dupe or inspired by fragrance. While the opening is spot on to the originals opening smell, the disappointment is in the dry down. Very very quickly it fades and turns to a much weaker scent that leans away from Fahrenheit all together. I would not purchase this again just because of the performance and staying power is ultra lacking.

Dry down is similar...the great classic petrol opening is no where to be found. Longevity is above average...projection is average. If you like the opening of Fahrenheit and can’t live w/o it, pass on this. If you like the dry down of the OG but not the opening, this might be for you. Either way, always worth getting a sample and checking it for yourself.
