SOTD: Fahrenheit edt by Dior 22/04/2026
This was one of those fragrances that immediately vibes with me. Went straight into my no 2 spot any has been there ever since. Most famous for that gasoline accord, the edt was launched in 1988 and created by perfumers Jean-Louis Sieuzac, Michel Almairac and Maurice Roger. Fahrenheit is a complex Woody Floral Musk that creates a fiery atmosphere. The Gasoline opening, which is the most famous aspect of this scent, is a combination of violet leaf sicilian mandarin, which creates a sharp, industrial, metallic aroma. As it settles, it becomes more floral and spicy, featuring nutmeg, honeysuckle and jasmine. This adds a softness that balances the harsh opening. It finishes with a deep, masculine base of leather, cedar, vetiver & amber. The leather here is smoky and burnt, rather than soft or powdery. Performance here is rather great for an edt, easily 6hrs on skin, if it sticks to your clothing you can still catch it at the end of the day. It has a heavy presence in the first 2 hours and leaves a noticeable trail. Best suited for colder weather and evening wear. There is nothing else that smells quite like it; it is instantly recognizable.Despite being over 30 years old, it still feels modern and nichecompared to mass-market blue fragrances.
