Professional fragrance classification: ▪ The Technical Commission of the French Society of Perfumers; B7 - Fleuri boisé / Floral woody.▪ Michael Edwards; Woods fresh / Boisé frais. My rating (on paper and on my skin): 1. Date of review: July 2. The original version of Fahrenheit was a stunning masterpiece, consisting of various magnificently crafted contrasts, which maintained tensions throughout the perfume. It was an elusive, intriguing and intoxicating fragrance.

It transformed from a slightly cool and sweet opening, to a literally breathtaking blend of spices and flowers during the heart, accompanied by a long- lasting impression of glowing woods from the base. To me, Fahrenheit, has always been the ultimate autumn scent, combining the lustre, tranquillity and melancholy of the season; the last show of summer splendour with everywhere the brilliant fall of colourful leafs.. The first reformulation* was released in early 2. It was the first time the ‘gasoline scent’ - largely deriving from the camomile note - became noticeable, but it wasn’t that distinct yet. It was still reasonably blended with all the other notes.

The first reformulation was weaker overall and emanated fewer contrasts in comparison to the vintage, but was still a potent fragrance. While the vintage was 1. An interesting subject is why Christian Dior reformulated Fahrenheit for the first time. Fahrenheit had proven to be a tremendous commercial success since its release.

Perhaps sales figures had dropped by 2. Well, not according to the Dior company itself; they claimed that it still was one of their major bestsellers along with Poison, Dune etc. Furthermore, Dior was a manufacturer of other luxury goods, like clothing and jewellery, all very desired and profitable. So they weren’t exactly losing money and therefore decided to save on perfume ingredients. Nevertheless, companies are always afraid to lose money (in the long run).

So, perhaps ‘modernization’ was the cause. Perfume history shows us that ‘aquatics’ became the dominating perfume trend during the nineties, from Davidoff’s Cool Water, also launched in 1. L’eau D’issey pour Homme in 1. Was the need perhaps felt at Dior to ‘lighten’ Fahrenheit for the changed market? I doubt this, because in the nineties there was also another new development which proved very successful; ‘the gourmand perfume’. The first very successful gourmand perfumes were Thierry Mugler’s Angel from 1.

A*Men from 1. 99. Givenchy’s Pi - 1. Rochas Man - 1. 99.

Lotita Lempicka au Masculin - 2. Yves Saint Laurent’s M7 - 2. Gucci pour Homme - 2. The nineties were also the era that gave birth to ‘unisex perfumes’ - CKOne - 1. Salvador Dali’s Dalimix - 1. Guerlain’s Héritage - 1. Yves Saint Laurent’s Opium pour Homme - 1.

All these very different developments and perfumes, all being successful in the nineties and early two- thousands, show us that diversity and creativity were highly appreciated by people who in return increasingly spend money on ‘haute parfumerie’. Neither did the 2. IFRA amendments. The IFRA issued restrictions on bitter orange oil, oakmoss, treemoss, cinnamyl nitrile etc. Animal- derived notes like deer musk or civet didn’t even need banishment or restrictions by the IFRA since these were already banned or legislated. Pressure from societies and animal protection organisations had made an end at much animal cruelty - a truly positive transformation in the fragrance world! My point is, there had never been bitter orange oil, oakmoss or animalic notes in Fahrenheit.

No, as far as I can see, Dior/LVMH had Fahrenheit only reformulated in an attempt to maximize their profit. For this they diluted the original formula.

If this is indeed the case, I find this nothing less than despicable. The human mind connects strong emotional and vivid memories with scents. By continuously and drastically changing a perfume, we are somehow deprived of our memories. Fahrenheit was reformulated for the second time around 2. In this version the 'gasoline scent' emerged clearer at the surface, and it also became the leading note during the middle phase caused by the fact that several other ingredients were toned down further. In this regard it’s also worth mentioning that when a bottle of Fahrenheit of the vintage, second and third version isn’t preserved perfectly and kept from warmth and light, in time, the ‘gasoline scent’ will become noticeable, stronger, or will turn into a dominating smell in the entire fragrance! The current Fahrenheit was launched end of 2.

Due to several IFRA restrictions on aroma chemicals like linalool and lyral has it become a ‘soapy’ fragrance, almost without contrasts or transitions. The smell is still unique and recognizable to me, but only on a paper strip I can detect some contrasts and transitions, on my skin it has become flat and one- dimensional. I can imagine that someone who never knew the vintage version could like it, but my mind would always keep comparing. The unique smell that made Fahrenheit the outstanding floral woody perfume it once was, has disappeared with the third reformulation for about 9. Much to my regret, I have just one bottle of the classic 1.

It took me many years and a lot of failed purchases, but in the end I was delighted to find this one in a great condition! From experience I can say that it has become extremely difficult to still find a genuine bottle from the first version, kept in perfect condition. To finish my review, hereby descriptions of the appearances: Vintage version, 1.

Fahrenheit’ has been written in white letters - , followed by ‘deep red’ in the middle and finally ‘creamy yellow’ at the bottom. First reformulation, 2. Fahrenheit’ has been written - , and this finally merges into a ‘deep red’ colour. Three quarters of this box is in that ‘deep red’ colour. Second reformulation, ± 2. Above the middle of the box, still in the red area ‘Fahrenheit’ and ‘Eau de Toilette’ have been written in silver letters. Third reformulation, ± 2.

The colour is again ‘dark brownish red’ at the top which merges into a ‘deep red’ colour for the rest of the box. However, above the middle of the box, still in the red area, now only ‘Fahrenheit’ can be found in silver letters. Eau de Toilette’ isn’t written anymore in silver, but in smaller letters at the middle of the box in a ‘light red’ colour. This is also the version in which the cap of the bottle has been altered to a ‘straightforward looking’ vertical cap.

This indicates to most perfume lovers the first reformulation. However, there are some older ‘Basenoters’ who insist that Fahrenheit was first reformulated much earlier than 2. Now, could it be that Christian Dior had the large amount of chemical notes decreased in 1. Could it be that the first reformulation was in production from 1. Unfortunately, I just can’t tell! When the first reformulation exactly happened will probably remain a recurring issue in perfume discussions.

And it can be persistent to me as well, especially since I have a distant recollection from a bottle that I bought at the end of the nineties that didn't smell as powerful as Fahrenheit from the early nineties. Well, reality is that in the nineties most perfume lovers, including me, had never heard of perfumes being reformulated, so there was no cause at all to pay attention. Nevertheless did I try many times in the last few years to verify a pre- 2. Fahrenheit that have disintegrated over time, has it become virtually impossible to find unscathed bottles to perform reliable tests.
