Fahrenheit Le Parfum

(Comparison of new formulations of the EdT and the parfum (Le Parfum)) We’re not going to go into vintage Fahrenheit here. Perhaps another day I will do a write-up comparing the new formulation of the EdT to one of my vintage bottles from the early 1990s. Suffice it to say that Fahrenheit is different, but not markedly to the point that you are truly missing out. Dior have fortunately and thankfully kept this juggernaut well intact over the past 30 years. To keep it very brief: the fuel accord has been dialed back in new formulations, and the freshly tanned leather put more forward. Only Fahrenheit devotees and vintage collectors will feel a need to have a (expensive) vintage original, so do not rush to your preferred aftermarket resale app on your phone with your mortgage payment in hand. It is honestly, for most people, not worth it. The Le Parfum - now that’s a different installation to the Fahrenheit saga, but despite some of the flack it has received I agree with many others that its a welcome and compelling new chapter, especially when compared to some of the other Fahrenheit flankers lobbed at us over the years. The opening of the EdT instantly states to you that you’re in for something different. I’ve never truly bought into this note pyramid; it is likely yet another example of a house overcomplicating things to grab attention. Or perhaps, given the unusual and complicated story behind Fahrenheit, they just weren’t sure what to put. There is a warm, honeyed, and slightly sweet floral facet. Hawthorn has this, but so does honeysuckle and chamomile. You pick. Then there is the “fuel” note Fahrenheit is so famous for. Violet leaf has this for sure, that chemically, volatile, hyper-herbal ammonia type quality, but hawthorn can also have this facet as well. Which one is bolstering which? You pick. Amidst this swirl of warm yet volatile contrasts are a touch of aldehydes, a shimmer of bright yellow-green and sour bergamot, and a touch of oily soapy lavender. It’s weird, and it shouldn’t work, but it does. Brilliantly. Immediately the freshly tanned leather accord plays upwards. It’s hot and animalic. This imagery has been used before but it is truly the best way of putting it: imagine a motorcyclist’s leather jacket in the summer heat, the heat and humidity forcing the tanning chemicals’ VOCs to off-gas into a cloud around the bad boy biker, and you clearly perceive that he spilled fuel on himself at this stopover. That’s pretty much it. The EdT finishes on an aromatic woody and dry patchouli inflection of this leather. As for the Le Parfum, its opening dials back the oddity of the EdT by presenting waxy-fruity and spicy rainbow peppercorns, a juicier bergamot than the EdT, and ample amounts of oily lavender. Though the contrasting and volatile nature has been mostly erased, there is a muscularity and lawless energy here that makes you think you are still speaking to the same bad boy biker, but perhaps he’s traded in the biker’s leathers for a field jacket instead... and maybe took a low dose benzo. Err... maybe just grown up a bit. The violet leaf is still present in the Le Parfum, but it’s been steered to an oily herbal direction that has significant overlap with the lavender. The vanillic benzoin-heavy amber base is making itself known, and its swirling-about with these domesticated notes from the upper layers gives Le Parfum a refined playboy’s swagger and sexiness. I wouldn’t call Le Parfum polite, but it’s just more polite than the EdT. Fahrenheit is still a bit of a lout. The leather accord to Le Parfum is darker, smokier, and earthier thanks to birch tar as opposed to the hot-animalics of the styrax in the EdT. It’s dialed in with the deep vanillic amber notes very well, the gentle smokiness keeping the amber aloft and never letting the benzoin steer Le Parfum downwards into a sweet and lumpen vanillic mess. Le Parfum does get a touch sweeter, tamer, and more vanillic at the final skin scent but the smokey charred wood facet still lingers a bit, and the “bourbon vanilla” description becomes quite apt since this smells like the charred barrels used to age bourbon. Our bad boy has maybe had a bit too much to drink, it seems. I’m going to leave the EdT right where it is because I cannot say anything novel about it that others already have not. It’s a timeless masculine leather classic that is likely going to live on for another 30 years and longer - or so I hope. If you’re an animalic leather fan and you haven’t smelled this, you’re failing. The Le Parfum deserves some more time and comments because it is, honestly, genuinely very good and a very pleasant spin on the original. It’s always a fraught endeavor messing with a classic, and I’m going to bet that Demachy was none too thrilled with the assignment (particularly given the deserved lack of success for some of Fahrenheit’s earlier flankers) - “you want me to do WHAT to Fahrenheit now??” “Make it a sweet leathery vanillic amber, Franky.” He nailed it though. This is the only Fahrenheit flanker I own, and the only one I have ever truly desired to own. Look to the Le Parfum when you want Fahrenheit but Fahrenheit made more tasteful for formal occasions or date nights in cool/cold temperatures. Keep the bike at home.

Fahrenheit Le Parfum!!! Por donde empezamos con esta obra maestra!!! Este perfumote tiene una calidad super buena y es muchisimo mas llevadero q el original osea el edt!! Duracion,pues a mi en lo personal me dura bastante diria q amanezco con el olor del perfume en mi piel luego de unas 12 a 14 horas,obiamente cuando me levanto no estara proyectando a 8 pies de distancia pero si me levanto con un aroma de piel.exquisito y facil de oler no tengo q hundir mi nariz en la piel para detectarlo!! Proyeccion,pues en mi piel esto se proyecta a unos 6 a 8 pies bien facil lo he podido comprobar con personas q se han acercado diciendome q mi perfume les llegaba hasta la mesa q ellos se encontraban y la mesa estaba a esa distancia algunos 7 a 8 pies en un club donde existen sinumeros de aromas en el.aire pero aun asi este Fahrenheit le Parfum se destaca y he tenido bastantes acercamientos de personas q les a gustado y hadta imprecionados con mi perfume incluso muchos han reconocido el adn de este parfum pero tambien me comentaron q aunque se parece muchisimo al original dicen q hulele muchisimo mas llevadero tanto q me han dicho q si comprarian el le parfum pero no el edt pues el og es bastante chillon!!

Bendiciones!!!

The one thing anyone who has loved this fragrance for years will notice is the unfortunate fact that Fahrenheit Parfum has been reformulated. This especially hits hard at the distinct depth it used to have in prior formulations. These days, Le Parfum is slightly thinner and doesn’t perform like a beast as it used to. Since the original EDT was an airy fragrance, this doesn’t bother me, but it is worth noting before buying. Besides the apparent downfalls, the blend is essentially the same, which makes it more versatile. TOP NOTES What made me smile was not that “gasoline accord” but a beautiful mandarin orange in the opening, which both EDT and EDP now share. I also get slight hints of something spicy and aromatic, along with the newcomer to this blend: rum. This rum smells more like those little rum bottles you would use for baking than a classic rum alcohol drink, which is a nice touch. HEART NOTES I wish the opening had lasted longer since it was original and pleasant, but from then on, it is nothing new and nowhere near the level of the 80s legend. As some other reviewers have said, unnamed spices are here, but I would love to hear from them about where they are getting all of them. Maybe cumin, but just maybe. Besides unnamed spices, the suede leather gets more intense, and the sweetness intensifies, making it an excellent choice for a different kind of clubbing or a regular night-out winter fragrance. BASE NOTES And, now, the dry down. Powdery vanilla, benzoin, amber, and an overload of smooth tonka bean(first mentioned on Scent Grail) are what I get. The violet, leather, and rum are still present, but this massive amount of vanillic notes, accords, and notes kills this one for me. I may have grown tired of these kinds of perfumes, or I’m at a different stage of my perfume journey, but the vanilla extreme will get tiresome to almost everyone after enough time has passed. OVERALL In my opinion, this is Dior’s third-best “Parfum” release, after Eau Sauvage Parfum and Dior Homme Parfum(also overhyped), but better than Sauvage Parfum. It’s a safe blind buy that you can easily wear during the colder months and chilly nights to gather a positive impression. But remember that this edition is far from as good or original as the one and only Fahrenheit Eau de Toilette. Read the full review at scentgrail (.) com

Launched in 2014 and designed by François Demachy, Fahrenheit Le Parfum is a jewel within the iconic Fahrenheit line. Here, the proposal is bold, dense, and extremely sophisticated, an oriental and spicy version that transforms the classic DNA into something more nocturnal, sensual, and memorable. If you love this perfume, know that you're not alone: it is truly a masterpiece. An olfactory treasure among my top 6 favorite perfumes of all time. The opening already shows that this is no ordinary Fahrenheit: Sicilian mandarin brings a velvety citrus sweetness, enveloped by the mysterious softness of suede and the dark, almost gourmand touch of licorice. It's intriguing, sophisticated, and seductive from the very first moment. In the heart, the classic violet reappears, but here immersed in dark rum and spices like coriander and cumin, creating a warm, enveloping, almost intoxicating sensation. There's something nocturnal, almost clandestine about this fragrance's mid-scent—it's here that the perfume reveals itself as a true elixir. The base is where the magic takes hold: dense, rich, and creamy Bourbon vanilla merges with hints of suede and rum, creating an ambery, oriental, and deeply striking trail. Longevity: Excellent (easily 10 to 12 hours) Projection: Strong in the first 2 hours, then moderate Sillage: Enveloping, leaves a trail of class and power Fahrenheit Le Parfum has superb performance. It's not just long-lasting; it's memorable. It "imprints" its wearer's presence on the room. Ideal for special evenings when you want to be noticed with elegance and originality. Occasions Romantic dinners Evening or formal events Mild or cold climates Date-nights where you want to make your mark This perfume is pure bottled confidence. It's neither casual nor understated; it's made for occasions where you'll stand out. It speaks for you. Final Score: 10/10 Fahrenheit Le Parfum is among the six best perfumes of my life, and rightly so. It's complex, deep, and luxurious, with a signature that balances classic and bold. A true statement of personality and good taste. If the original Fahrenheit is the rebellious soul of the 80s, Le Parfum is its mature, seductive, and irresistibly refined alter ego.

The smell of "Murder Ballads" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Some scents remind me of certain songs or even entire albums. In this case, not because it has any particularly bloody characteristics - the perfume, because Nick Cave's album is full of them - but rather because of the class that this fragrance exudes, I associate "Murder Ballads" (bloody but classy) with this scent. Maybe it's because of the iconic red bottle... Fahrenheit EDT was, for a long time, my signature scent. I don't pay much attention to the usual complaints (and laments) about reformulations and batch X being better than batch Y, but in this case, there are considerable differences between what this perfume (EDT) used to be and what it is now (although I appreciate the current version and will buy a bottle soon). I have always liked the smell of gasoline, for some reason. The more recent version of Fahrenheit (this Parfum without the "Le" that can't be found anywhere) doesn't have that explosion of scents that I got used to in the older EDT version (in 2006 / 2007 that gasoline smell was still present) but it is excellent. It's not as fresh or versatile as the EDT version, but it is a remarkable perfume. The blend of ingredients (suede, rum, vanilla, violet leaf, etc.) is done exquisitely, and this scent exudes luxury from every pore. It is one of my favorite perfumes, but it doesn't (totally) cure my nostalgia for the "original" Fahrenheit. The performance is outstanding in terms of projection and longevity (about 12 hours), and this scent is unlike any other on the market (that I know of), being worth the price it is sold for in most online stores (it is worth much more than the vast majority of niche perfumes I have tried so far). More than an excellent flanker, this perfume stands on its own. 5 stars!
