This was the juggernaut of the Men's fragrance world for a long time. Many Men would be pleased and agree with your review because we still love it.

I absolutely love this stuff. I don’t care how old it is, how it’s perceived as a scent “my grandpa would have worn.” I’m 32 and rock the shit out of this stuff.

[@degenerateautismo9987]

That's exactly my thoughts but with Guerlain's Derby instead

[@AodhanBulger]

Yeah, I'm 38 and I like to wear a lot of what I smelt when I was young

[@cliffordnorton2674]

AMEN!!! i wear this every winter, it just bangs, don’t care about the age, some fragrances stand the test of time

[@JustysFrank]

Agreed. I think personally it's time and ageless, I'm 15 and it's my signature. My girlfriend loves it on me and it's just such a nice blend.

[@admiralthadcastle4376]

[@norarazaai]

One of THE BEST fragrances ever created, in my opinion.

Said with a smile and a light jab...you must not get out very much. ;p (I can't stand it, one of the most vile things I've ever sniffed)

A great artist recognizes and appreciates the work of others, even if that work doesn’t suit their personal tastes. You are a class act, Aaron.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Love your reviews!

[@brianesbaugh6897]

I was completely floored when I smelled this. I thought it was quite simply the greatest scent I ever smelled in my life. Uber, masculine, leather jacket, scruffy beard. Such superb blending. Kinda, had an old-school feel to it, but worked for me at age of 59. If you’re looking for something that will make you stand out, this is it. Outstanding perfumery

[@stephenwalters2076]

The quality of your microphone is super clear! Content is in depth with amazing key points. Thank You for these very informative videos Aaron!

[@michaelbaez8417]

Glad you reviewed this one, Aaron. Such a classic perfume. I personally love this. Smells fantastic and very masculine. You're right. It's definitely a love-or-hate type of scent.

[@cliffordnorton2674]

finally! thank you for reviewing this absolute GEM! A 90’s banger

[@Jay-bw3fl]

Just went and tried this out at Sephora the other day. Reminds me of my grandfather after he came in from working on cars. Not for me but I totally get the petrol vibe. Very unique. Love how you break down the actual ingredients and explain why we smell what we smell. That’s what makes you the best fragrance reviewer imo.

[@nickn3512]

Fahrenheit EDT is a 1988 release. The perfumer was Maurice Roger. Dioriviera was created by Francis Kurkdjian. Thanks for the review, Aaron!

[@martijnrosenbottel3616]

The original Dior Fahrenheit was released in 1988, it was my first cologne.

[@nickn3512]

@@martijnrosenbottel3616 Slip of the finger!

[@andrewperez791]

I think it was Demachy who created it.

[@nickn3512]

@@andrewperez791 Maurice Roger, with Suizac and Almairac .

[@rncrntdh8]

Roger was never a perfumer by this. He was a creative director of Dior back then. The perfumer who created it was Jean Louis Sieuzac, one of the greatest perfumers of all time, who also created Bel Ami by Hermes (the best leather in the game, imho), Opium by YSL (another masterpiece for women), Or Black by Pascal Morabito (super understated oriental) and a few more. What interesting, he is very much known for quality of the work, and not quantity. Probably that's why he only has like a dozen perfumes in his portfolio, but all, ALL of them are absolute wonders.

[@pegah_pegah]

Such a nostalgic fragrance ❤Thanks for the review😊🦄

Untouchable & timeless fragrance! True masterpiece!

EXcellent review Aaron. Thanx for your great knowledge, very helpful. Blessings.

Fahrenheit was so good in the 80's. Great review as always 🦄

[@onedadinplaid159]

I wore this in high school, and that's been decades ago. And I still love it!

[@bobobignutz]

Currently rocking this in high school🤙

[@alsmith5404]

Appreciate your truth Aaron!! This has been my most LOVED fragrances since 1989(senior yr H.S) I will always have this in rotation & in the winter the Parfum concentration!! Keep em coming

[@ncpmadhead]

Love your videos. I binge watch so many of them. Never stop please!! Great review I would love to see you review Fahrenheit Le parfum and compare it to the EDT would make a great video. Keep up the great work

[@mrharryrag]

Thanks for this review of this classic fragrance, Aaron. Fahrenheit was hugely popular for a number of years back in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was the Sauvage of its day. I was blown away by it when I first smelled it. It was love at first sniff. I wore it constantly for about two years, but familiarity can breed contempt and I became a bit bored with it and started buying other fragrances.I still have a bottle of it of. My wife loves it and I still like it, but I don't love it like I used to. Like many classic fragrances, I think it lost it's X-factor when it was reformulated. Having said that, it doesn't smell old and I'd rather wear it than the countless identikit sweet synthetic bubble gum fragrances that are so popular with young people today.

[@raulsaavedra709]

Great review! Dior Fahrenheit as signature/all-rounder, Dior Homme Cologne for the Summer, and Dior Homme Intense or Parfum for special ocassions. Dior truly has it all. Imho Fahrenheit is one of the greatest all-rounders in perfumery.

[@keep_walking_on_grass]

DHI is perfect for all occasions for men 25+ who are dressed nice/ elegantly, even in the office in a controlled dose.

[@raulsaavedra709]

@@keep_walking_on_grass I also think DHI can be a great signature scent, one particularly elegant and sophisticated

[@IanBianchi]

The fragrance that started it all for me. This evokes so many scent memories for me. I always have a bottle in my collection!!! Love it ❤❤

[@kostasdondinnie2002]

My fav Sifu perfumer, greetings from the hot greece,,great work great mood keep teaching us that magic world of perfumes!

[@jimsimpson546]

No one reviews fragrance like you and for that I am so appreciative!

[@tenore8]

Another excellent review. I have two bottles of Fahrenheit, when Dior's Paris address was 30, Avenue Hoche. This stuff is legend. IMO, right up there with vintage YSL Kouros.

[@khalfani321]

Thanks for this review. This fragrance has been on my mind lately though I haven’t worn it in years. I found a bottle of Gucci Guilty Absolute , which I hear is a modern take on Fahrenheit,pretty cheap online so plan to rock that when the temperature drops.

[@matnasa8292]

Ive only got 2 bottles of perfumes and looking to get a few more, just wanted to say i love your video format. The aroma breakdown really thorough and understandable compared to all the other channels with a chill vibe. Easy sub👍👍

[@Gym_Anime95]

I like you being able to say its great and respect the craft even though it's not for you. Very well articulated review iv never had it and am currently waiting on it to be delivered looking forward to trying it 👌🏻

[@xmanual]

Well done! I love your reviews!

[@re-z8296]

This is easily one of my favourite fragrances of all time. I have probably gone through 5-6 100 mL bottles over the years! PS. Aaron, you are incredible! Great perfumer and a great reviewer! I am a big fan of your Maverick and Supernova!

[@Dale_Blackburn]

I bought a 2 year unopened original Fahrenheit EDT. Do they last and smell fresh even after years? I had to buy this 2 year old bottle because it was not expensive for me. Please help me, i wonder if they go bad or not, and when they start to go bad in quality and intensity.

[@NiKoJlaY]

After this video, we need a review of Amouage Portrayal Man.

[@stevepinnock5668]

An excellent review from a perfumers view point. Dior is my favourite fragrance house. (ATH fragrances aren’t far behind). I don’t own Farenheight Parfum yet. Be great to hear your thoughts on that one Aaron.

[@djpleidian]

Its fascinating how you translate the smells into images!!!

[@edmeri_1526]

During my job training, I HAD to ask my coach what he was wearing. I just couldn't stop smelling his perfume, it smelled like paradise to me! It was fahrenheit, and for sure I will be getting it for my fiancé 😂

[@Mesut_2641]

🙂

[@eaudebaldy5275]

This was always one of those fragrances that was very polarizing...people either loved or hated it, and you summarized it well. Even if you don't like it, you respect it. This thing was everywhere in NY way back and it still stands the test of time. This is a staple in my winter collection...

[@peepeepp4972]

I think it works perfectly for all seasons tbh

[@arshadhusseinn]

one of the living classics!!

[@lyndapetera]

Thank you for your review I was wanting an honest review on this scent as I've been in my head over getting my nephew whom turns 30 and was wanting to know if it was outdated and you've confirmed that it's not, will be purchasing him a bottle as I've always loved the scent hope he loves it too.

[@doubleduck7743]

Love your reviews!! You should consider reviewing Diaghilev. It’s a Chypre perfume that might be the best on the market! Would love to hear your input on what kinda blending/material is used

[@scrumpy213]

For me Fahrenheit was in 1990 what Sauvage was 5 years ago...it seemed to be everywhere, as was Joop! and most guys over applied them so they came across a touch noxious, especially in an enclosed space. Each fragrance has its time then the world moves on but we keep wearing them mainly because of the memories they evoke even if the DNA of the scent is, well...'vintage'. Top review/breakdown as always ATH👍

[@jesuscotto1331]

As eloquent that you broke that down some fragrances are timeless. And don't you date argue with me on KZbin comments!

[@Fatedcauze]

Wow! Forgot about Joop! Another great scent.

[@BillyLydon]

The Le Parfum version is where it's at! Maybe, one of the most unique fragrances of all time? Great review! ;)

[@fouroverseven7799]

After 30 years, it’s still one of my favorite fragrances.

[@vd89198]

The parfum is even better imo, the vanilla is so good in that one. I wear it all year round.. Have a good day!

[@jamieh5371]

I wear Fahrenheit in the fall. One of my go-too.

[@ulisesmurillo1942]

Thanks Aaron for updating reviews! 👍...no change on the rating though 🤷‍♂ Another topic, I just found that your review of 'Grey Vetiver' by Tom Ford is not in your playlist, although it is in "videos" section.

[@butchiej404]

Hi Aaron, love your quality review, your knowledge and nose is spot on! Where did you get your t-shirt?

[@Adri4n0]

I love how you are able to dissect and recognise the craftsmanship of a fragrance… even when you don’t like it! I’d like to make a suggestion for a review. From a French household name that is more famous for feminine fragrances. Cacharel Pour Homme was released in 1981 and is still on the shelves today. Here in Portugal it retails for around 50€ for 100ml. I have an old sample and enjoy it very much.

[@dr.magnifiscent]

Man the Le Parfum flanker is pure magic ❤🪄absolutely love it but yes, great review on the (meh) modern day OG Fahrenheit EDT👍

[@Memories.in.a.bottle]

Fahrenheit is the best perfume ever made and anybody who disagrees with that is wrong. 😅

[@ronniemann9209]

Agreed

[@YellowBrickFloyd]

They're not " wrong ", they just have different tastes....it's subjective. It's OK to have varying opinions or disagreements.

[@kinoko510]

Wedding fragrance 21 years ago. Still my favourite

[@chickenslothstudios699]

I suppose I could say that this is one of the few blind buys that I did not like personally, but I was blown away by the longevity and character. Gave it to a picky friend who loves ombre leather. I think it might be his signature scent now.

[@xocoyotl4]

[@user-wu5nc4no5h]

Nope…The best perfumes ever created are Dior Homme Parfum and Armani Attitude

[@ok-et8vz]

⁠​⁠@@user-wu5nc4no5hwhat does Dior homme perfume smell like? what does the smell remind you off?

Greatest ever.

[@OblivionRatula]

I used to wear this in college (mid '90s) and no other scent has ever gotten me more attention and comments. Don't know if it would still be as complimentary to my body chemistry 30 years on, but I almost want a fresh bottle to find out. Cool review.

[@paulwinter5609]

Would love to see you compare range like you did with channel blue. I thinking this a few days ago then you did the EDT 🙌

[@ruddle1168]

Great review Aaron , never actually purchased this one . I used to wear Jules in my early 20s Now discontinued.

[@twok665]

Hey Aaron, reminder for u to make a review of Acqua di parma oud. You will love it ;)

[@AodhanBulger]

Love this one!

[@TheLuminousOne]

The original Fahrenheit 1988-1998 was out of this World, a sexy, exotic, spicy, intoxicating scent. Dior need to engineer it back to its former glory, the stuff nowadays sucks in comparison.

[@buergermeistaa]

Aaron, never EVER change your background music, please!

[@tommcfadden748]

I was gifted this today!! I love it!! I remember it's launch well, a huge oversized bottle of it in the Switzers window, 89 I think!

[@PremiumWater]

I find these reviews very relaxing but I have made two blind buys off these reviews and I have loved both!

[@irevisibel9237]

Loved it when it was new 30 yrs ago (aswell as the original Drakkar Noir, Antaeus,…), “KL” by Lagerfeld was as huge back then, Cool Water soon to be released. Either way: Fahrenheit is a piece of art but I neither used it back then nor today due to the “Diesel”/fuel-esque note which unnerved me back then as it does now 😊

[@y00bz]

I randomly found a vintage KL homme about 10 years ago very cheap, and I love it, it's a shame I'll have to cough up so much more money if I run out

[@jordanmaginn7733]

First time buying it. I love it! Smells good. Last all day. Not over powering. Great smell.

[@matt100100R]

If you can get your hands on it; could you review D&G the Luminous Night? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

[@DonnachaWalsh]

Been waiting for ages for this review. I've been wearing this for years, I think it got a reformulation a few years back (2016?), I found it difficult to buy in the shops too here in Australia, can anyone tell me if it's being discontinued? And if it is being discontinued can anyone tell me where I can get some sort of industrial sized 20 litre container of this stuff.....

[@jimdough2018]

Check out Fahrenheit Cologne, basically the last Demachy Fahrenheit flanker, great for summer.

[@matheya]

I Love it ! The perfume has vanilla instead of the diesel so I assume I can wear it! Still haven't tested!

[@frankp1648]

You are probably referring to Francois Demachy, but Fahrenheit was created by other perfumers before his time. I do agree that it's unique.

[@Memories.in.a.bottle]

To be fair, the current formulation probably has more to do with Demachy than the OG perfumers.

[@frankp1648]

Okay, you may have a point.

[@mohamednayad]

Yes , The old one was created by Michel Almairac and he recently worked on the Brioni fragrances (EDP, éclat and intense) the Brioni EDP also share some similarities with Fahrenheit 👍

[@BoomBoom-tm5xw]

All I smell is gasoline when I smell that perfume. Does it change later to where the gasoline smell goes away?

[@CarlosHPena]

I would like to hear your opinion on Xerjoff Homme; it's similar to Dior Fahrenheit's description.

[@wolfbear7]

I swear i got this earlier than 98 but no matter, iove it. So many scents are what i call "fish cologne" because it's so strong it overpowers many feet away, but i love this one. I also love Eau Sauvage and tragically for me, Gucci Rush for Men, which many times had people in a room sniffing the air till they got to me and said "Is that you I'm smelling?" It was my sweat and Rush as i used it as deodorant, lightly. I loved the way it mixed with my chemistry. It's so hard to find and sometimes didn’t survive intact due to age. But i have one half bottle and wear it on special occasions. For me, Gucci Rush for Men is amazing, with Fahrenheit and Eau Sauvage 2nd and 3rd. Iove your reviews and you seem to look even healthier than you did in the past. I Thank You and wish you happiness.

Where do you go to buy raw materials and know your getting it from a safe and reputable source/supplier?

[@NiskRanThawll]

I love Fahrenheit, as i despise the blue frags full of clary sage and sea minerals... just makes me think of radox every time, so this is my go to for the hot red and green notes. the honeysuckle and violet are what carries the scent for me. I just wish absolute version wasn't discontinued. but absolute was myrrh, violet and oud... it was fantastic dark but warm.

[@christopherkenyon7112]

Have you ever sampled Amouage Beach Hut? If you like green in a fragrance, you may like that one. It’s very green with mint, vetiver and oakmoss. Very strong and masculine. I love it!

[@JD83000]

Yes I despise blue frags too. They remind me of locker rooms, teenagers who have sprayed too much deodorant and blue collar guys who have a good scrub, and gone out desperately looking to get some action. But hey, I'm in a minority, people love them, both guys and girls.

[@truthseeker5863]

Could you review 40 knots by Xerjoff?

[@jeffwatkins72]

I've been wearing Fahrenheit since the late 90's, along with YSL's Opium. Sadly Fahrenheit is nowhere near as strong as it used to be, but still, I'd say my scent for life, from maybe 150 different ones in my collection.

[@Vico649]

[@withhazelnuts2108]

Fair review from a professional chemist. Fahrenheit was the best between 2000s and 2012, then they went back to the dominant petrol notes. If you want to get the best version of the fragrance, look them up, might not be as difficult to find as it seems(bought 4 bottles my self). And never forget, men admire this scent, not women. Thanks for another great take on a scent many of us love, Aaron!

[@JD83000]

I love this, but i stopped wearing it as so many people absolutely hate it and think it smells like a dirty petrol station. (Yes i know you should wear what you want but I would rather not disgust people]
