Dior Fahrenheit

Eau de Toilette Leather floral woody, crisp violet leaf, iconic gasoline accord, Russian leather, and noble cedar Men of uncompromising individuality, leather jacket styling, crisp autumn weather, and lovers of revolutionary classics

A groundbreaking 1988 masterpiece: metallic violet leaves, an unmistakable fuel-tinged accord, and supple dark leather with warm woods.

Dior Fahrenheit shattered conventions when it arrived in 1988 and remains a towering beacon of avant-garde perfumery. The fragrance opens with its world-famous accord evoking petrol, green violet leaves, and crisp mandarin, accented by nutmeg blossom and lavender. The heart unveils a captivating floral paradox where sharp violet leaf harmonizes with cedarwood, carnation, and sandalwood. The drydown settles into an unapologetically masculine base of raw Russian leather, smoky vetiver, tonka bean, and patchouli. Delivering 8 to 9 hours of resolute wear, it radiates uncompromising rugged charisma.
