Dior Fahrenheit - A Current Version Update

[@user-li1mj1jx2j]

Some recent reformulations have actually improved. It's possible to work around restrictions as long as the company cares enough to put in some effort.

[@gg41r]

Fahrenheit is pretty much my fave fragrance of ALL TIME. Its the stuff of legend

[@garyrose2681]

Wearing Fahrenheit today and it's still amazing. Thanks for the video Pep

[@leandronicolas8848]

Really appreciate the reviewing of a current version. Since these are changing almost yearly you never know when they might come up with something that's particularly good or faithful to the original.

[@TheScentinel]

@@leandronicolas8848 I don't update new bottles often, but it's something I'll do on the channel when I can

[@perroli]

I tried a 2019 bottle, and I also own vintages of the original formula. Honestly the difference is not that pronounced. The base is more resinous and has more oakmoss but the current one is an excellent reformulation all things considered.

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I like this fragrance and I give it a 9 out of 10 in my opinion and have a blessed day

[@mausespeck_hans5389]

Your channel polished my taste in perfumes. I really liked Fahrenheit but currently it’s not for me anymore. I think some fragrances should be remembered for what they were.

[@Radhatter1]

It was my signature cologne in 1989-1994 along with Guerlain Vetiver

[@theo2z1z94]

Thank you for the comparison it is helpful 👍

[@richuncle9689]

I also had a 2015 version and have to agree with everything you've said compared to my new bottle. Great review

Great to know about the newer formulation. As compared to the old.

[@abdulkayyumjusaab5531]

Thoroughly enjoyed your review. When you talk about comparisons i actually have the aftershave lotion which not many people seem to talk about... some people just think it's a weaker version of the edt when in fact it is absolutely terrific 👌🏼. I did want ask you though about the evolution of the fragrance... does it still evolve well because that is what I loved about it. Thank you for doing this review pep

[@TheScentinel]

@@abdulkayyumjusaab5531 I think it still evolves smoothly

[@lineplanevolume]

My bottle broke close to 30 years ago. I think it's about time I replaced it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the latest. I like to hear the petrol's more prominent because that's what I recall loving about the version I had. I wonder if this one will beef up with a little time?

[@TheScentinel]

@@lineplanevolume I'm hoping!

[@marshjj3788]

23 year old here bought it for the first time. Quite a funky leathery animalic opening but it dries down into a green forest smell mixed with leather and lighter fluid. Manly stuff

[@carlanderson08]

Forever Fahrenheit!🎉

[@lasiqueiros]

Holy grail fragrance. Did not like it when I first got it 7 years ago, now is one of my favorites.

[@ivantrudeau8974]

@@lasiqueiros Why didn't you like it?

​@@ivantrudeau8974 underdeveloped nose, it gave me old school vibes and could not find the right time to wear it.

[@SquallMonteZ]

i owned a 2015 (or a bit older) bottle of Fahrenheit and i loved it but at the time, i thought that it was very "transparent" in the drydown. Then i ran out of that bottle and bought a 200ml sealed 2022 version. Its great because you smell a lot of oakmoss that is absent in the modern versions. And i understood throughout the years that Fahrenheit is not a dense scent at all. It opens up stronger with the petroleum / violet leaf note but the drydown is soft. The big difference between my old 2002 and the 2015 version is basically the oakmoss. It's nice to smell the oakmoss but i still like it even without it. The newer versions i never tried but sometimes you need to let it macerate a bit. perhaps in moths to come, you'll notice that it is stronger and richer.

[@TheScentinel]

@@SquallMonteZ I have a feeling this will happen.

[@krasimirkunchev9987]

My most worn in the 90ies- emptied 3 bottles back then. Thank you for reminding me of it- not it my current collection but this will be mended. What is it- EDT, EDP?

[@TheScentinel]

@@krasimirkunchev9987 original edt

[@Polyfusia]

EDT. They released an excellent Parfum version a few years back which can still be found. It's tremendous. Highly recommend it

[@krasimirkunchev9987]

@@Polyfusia Thank you! I have completely neglected this jewel for more than 20 years, but thanks to the Scentinel I am back on track. I have looked it up, the perfume version is from 2014 by Demachy, apparantly there was an absolute version but discontinued unfortunately. From what I read the perfume is missing the gasoline note but seems solid enough. So, I will probably take both. And if you are into the gasoline note, try Vorrei from Venti4- white flower/leather concoction (not in the negative sense) with a character. Take care!

[@Polyfusia]

@@krasimirkunchev9987 What a nice response to receive. I hope you enjoy reconnecting with this fragrance. To call it a jewel is accurate. I appreciate the Vorrei recommendation too. Cheers!

[@euchre1o]

Back in the day, i could smell my Fahrenheit on my pillow the following night i used it, i could smell it from my laundry as i was loading the washer. The bottle i bought this week the scent is gone after an hour or so. Terrible. It wasn't counterfeit, it was purchased from a reputable seller.

[@jasonmfalconer]

The car I had when in Oz was a Holden Kingswood, 4 litre, bench front seat, Auto. Is that the car for your farenheit?

[@TheScentinel]

@@jasonmfalconer pretty much. Definitely pictured the bench seat.

[@adnanarif2878]

Its true lov from 2002

[@KeithHowells]

I just finished my bottle which i believe was a late 90s vintage batch 3603N and need to replace. Do you have the Parfum in your collection? I need to smell somewhere and perhaps pick it up too

[@TheScentinel]

@@KeithHowells no, I have never liked the Parfum enough to own it

[@slingblade37814]

I have heard the 2010ish to 2018ish bottles have a more vanilla vibe and less petrol than the vintage or current. I just got really lucky and scored a sealed 200ml 1999 bottle and 30ml 1998 bottle for 200bucks.

[@TheScentinel]

@slingblade37814 very nice!

[@Zepster77]

2010-2018 Fahrenheits are VERY fuel-like… I have 2011, 2012, and 2016.

[@ScottCutshall]

Great video, Pep... avid (like completely unhinged avid) Fahrenheit collector here (21 bottles of the EDT ~ ranging from 1989 thru 2023 ~ all the flankers as well, and even more embarrassing to admit, collectibles like banners, scarves, travel duffles, etc... like i said, Unhinged). In my opinion, 2015 was the last great year ~ all the notes were prominent... 2020 - 2023 bottles have a great opening but, as you perfectly state, are very smooth and disappointingly short lived. Pro Tip (again, from a Fahrenheit Nerd), if you want an extremely close representation of Fahrenheit's glory years (1988 - 1995), and for dumb money, try Dua Brand "Celsius" (creative name right? 🙄)... as much as I typically loathe dupe houses I must admit, after a few months of maceration, the juice is nearly identical to my most vintage bottles in terms of opening, mid, dry down and longevity. No, I am not affiliated with the brand and truthfully despise them as they have a history of not only duping the shit out of everything but also purging anything but 5 star reviews. But that said, their Celsius is fabulous... and for $33 dollars US is a bargain. Outstanding content as usual, Pep!!

[@TheScentinel]

@@ScottCutshall ugh,you are almost tempting me to want to try a DUA

[@LowQualityVideosOG]

100% right, Celsius and Celsius water(Fahrenheit Aqua) are 99% identical and last all day

[@ScottCutshall]

​@@TheScentinel I know, they suck but Celsius does not.

[@ScottCutshall]

​@@LowQualityVideosOG it is true.

[@Polyfusia]

Your old bottle may have started to degrade a tad over the years. It changes. I adore this fragrance, it is brilliant and singular. Theres nothing else like it. It stands alone. It can be rock n roll or it can be classy. It is a fusion of both. It works year round because that gasoline and leather facet is perfect for fall winter and spring and it works in the summer because of the fresh ozonic grassy violet leaf and florals. I have over 50 bottles and Fahrenheit has the biggest dent in it. I think I will get a 200ml bottle next time. Cheers

[@TheScentinel]

@@Polyfusia my old bottle still smelled good, I didn't feel like it had degraded.

[@isobutylquinoline]

Just picked up a small 10ml of vintage early 90s and it smelled exactly like the bottle I had in high school. Brought all the memories back. This past weekend I smelled the new version at Sephora. It was absolutely disgusting and synthetic smelling. The opening is harsher and smells cheap, but after you get through that it actually smells fairly similar just cheaper smelling, and then the drydown doesn't smell anything like the original. It's 'semi' in the ballpark but they've really cheapened this one out over the years.

[@olo9963]

Remember that since the 80s/90s many ingredients have been banned or restricted by IFRA, so today a 1:1 recreation of the original Fahrenheit formula, in accordance with regulations, is impossible.

[@YoTratoYTrato]

I just received my Fahrenheit edt 2024 formulation. batchcode 4A06 (9 months 10 days) quite weak, and Im REALLY hoping it gets better. Quite soapy too🤔
