Being an Irish brand, I was really hoping this would be good. Although they have been around a while, it's relatively new for me. I picked up a bunch of bottles earlier this year, their Luxurious Leather was a descent effort. https://www.skool.com/bos/sotdluxurious-leather-by-regency-fragrances-07062026?p=7a049c7a

Sadly their attempt at my beloved Fahrenheit was piss poor. Having recently learned from

@Lon Chaneyfield

about how many of these dupe houses operate. The fact that they have no perfumer listed, suggests they are buying in fragrance oils from one of the big suppliers, they they blend with alcohol and bottle. Whilst their is a hint of Fahrenheit here, it's seriously weakened, by either a low grade oil, or the concentration has been watered down, or perhaps even both?

Whilst they only list three notes. Sicilian Mandarin, Leather Accord and Bourban Vanilla. I'm thinking they are aiming for the parfum version. There is a touch of violet in the mix but it's all rather faint.This is a stripped-back take on the Fahrenheit DNA, but it lacks. After showering, I added a base layer of yesterday's Friday Night Leather, which helped boost the overall effect.

Honestly, this was a massive disappointment. €12 for a 50 ml ain't a huge loss, but It's one I won't make again. Without layering you get a watered down cologne strength juice. Will last an hour at best then it's gone. I'd rather save and get the real deal with this one, it is budget friendly, but the trade off just ain't worth it in my opinion
