Reviewing 'Fahrenheit' from Dior. www.aaronterencehughes.co.uk Instagram - AaronTerenceHughes #FragranceReview #AaronTerenceHughes #Dior Music: Sleepdebt - I C U
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.
@@norarazaai If I can go in my garage and dab on a little lawn mower gas...and basically smell like Fahrenheit at a fraction the cost...maybe your tastes aren't as refined as you'd have hoped. ;p
@@norarazaai "Hater"...that favorite go-to word that makes people feel morally superior to others when no actual hate was ever intended nor expressed. 🤗
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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👍👍
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.
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 👌🏻
Love your work and your reviews! Fahrenheit is just an amazing perfume, that every men should have in their collection! Blows my mind everytime I wear it! P.S. : Love from Romania!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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...
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.
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👍
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.
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 😂
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.
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 😊
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.
Hey Aaron, could you smell some stuff from Profumum Roma and give us your thoughts. My favourite is Acqua Viva but most of the stuff is pretty good in my opinion. Would love to see what you think about them ?
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.
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 👍
Dear Aaron, not sure if you have time to read all your comments but just want to say thank you for the terrific content. Would you consider reviewing Amouage Jubilation XXV? Do you have plans to review more of the Dior Privee perfumes as well as more of the YSL Vestaires line-up?
Hey Aaron, wana start off by saying love the way u break down and review fragrances quite different than the rest of the reviewers. I had a few questions, and since u are a perfumer as well as a chemist, I figured noone better to address some possible myths or misinformation going around the fragrance community. 1) What does the expiration date mean on a bottle? Does it mean once opened and used, even if stored correctly in about 30 months, the bottle will start to go bad? 2) Can fragrances be maserated, or is that a myth? If so, what is the correct method or process? Some reviewers have used bottles from 10-15+ years, they're babying. Are they just holding onto a chemical mess because air has gotten in, or has it actually gained potency. 3) What does skin chemistry mean? Since skin chemistry makes fragrances so subjective, especially on longevity and performance, can we be categorized or just 8 billion different possibilities? Ex oily skin/dry skin, does it just sweat out of pores faster on ppl sweat more. In my head it was one big ramble so I tried my best to break it up I'm sure the fragrance community has more questions.
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.
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!
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.
EDT or EDP. In the UK, you can het the EDP everywhere, but you cannot find the EDT. As soon as they replenish the shelves, it is gone before you can purchase it.
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.....
Aaron, please try the Parfum version. It share the same DNA with the original, but is way more boozy, vanillic, smo(oooo)th and not as petroly. It's the most "niche" designer fragrance out there.
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!
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.
Fahrenheit EDT was one of my first perfumes back in the day and try as I might, I just didn't like it. It was headache inducing. Thankfully, I discovered the Parfum version - it's much more palatable and has made Fahrenheit wearable for me.
I love the EDT more. I love the aroma of it. The scent is better than the EDP. The EDT smells much closer to the Fahrenheit formulation in the mid 1990s.
