Fahrenheit Cologne by Dior

I only notice that Levantine citrus touch at first, but afterwards it smells just like the EDT: super masculine and lasts a good while (7-9 hours). Ideal for warm or mild days, a mature cologne that delivers.

I think it’s a scam to charge 60 euros or more for an eau de cologne that’s not worth anything.

Fahrenheit Cologne is perhaps the flanker most similar to the EDT (more so than Absolute, 32, or Parfum), but in one of those dubious reformulations. The scent lacks presence and the performance is mediocre, even with heavy application. At first, you feel the classic DNA, but it lasts only seconds; then the classic imprint disappears and it turns abrupt, extremely citrusy between tangerine, bergamot, and lemon. Rarely do the top notes settle (about 40 minutes). Afterward, it transforms into a dark phase that doesn’t know what identity to take, lasting an hour. It’s a perfume that evolves in blocks; it’s hard to distinguish the notes until the end. You notice the citrus at the beginning, then the characteristic violet, later nutmeg and caraway. Patchouli and vetiver are very discreet in the background. Cedar softens it among so many oriental notes. It gives the impression of a softened Fahrenheit EDT that doesn’t know what it wants. It’s not for summer: too dark for daytime and summer, and too short for winter and night. At first, I rejected it for that citrus vibe, but when the majesty of the EDT emerged, I had to give in, though with reservations about the lack of personality and mediocre performance. Optimistically, it’s a Fahrenheit to introduce yourself to the EDT and other flankers (except 32, which has nothing to do with it); it’s for beginners who fear the EDT. Passes barely. Scent: top and early-mid 4/10, late-mid and base 6/10. Sillage 5/10. Longevity 5.5/10. Versatility 4.5/10.

Good scent; it’s a fragmented Fahrenheit that reminds me a lot of the classic, at least in the mid-notes. To clarify: they fragmented the classic by leaving the least attractive and interesting part of the EDT, removing the opening, longevity, sillage, and making it linear. Thus was born Fahrenheit Cologne, a disappointment. It’s not bad at all if you don’t compare it to the original. I don’t know why or who came up with this variant, which is a failure, at least from my point of view.
