Christian Dior: Fahrenheit, Eau de Toilette

I first discovered Fahrenheit by Christian Dior when I was in my first year at university. A friend had recommended it and as such I had been a teenager when I first started wearing men’s fragrances, namely Jazz and Kouros by Yves Saint-Laurent. As such I wasn’t heavily into wearing aftershave until I hit my first year at university, so it made sense to shop around and check what was on offer at that time. Even when I think back to growing up at 17 and starting to shave, there weren’t a lot of unisexual fragrances out there and indeed I met plenty of girls who loved Fahrenheit for themselves, not just purely for men. Thus Fahrenheit is one of my favourite all ...  Read the complete review

This is the first Dior eau de toilette I ever owned and it has not been the last. Although it is more expensive than many alternatives (currently selling for £49 per 100ml at Boots), the cost is reflected in the quality. It it is an incredibly intense and powerful scent, which demonstrates both longevity and finesse. A little goes a long way... Of course fragrance is a very subjective issue, and what one man likes another hates. However, for an average bloke this hits the right notes - it has a sandalwood base, and ginger overtones. It is more masculine than many other brands (notably CK which opt for more floral ...  Read the complete review

A surefire bet as a welcome present, this is an elegant, rather sweet, spicy, warm scent. Not exactly cutting edge, perhaps it has become a little too familiar but it has earned its place as a classic mens fragrance. Nicely packaged in its distinctive tinted bottle, the Dior name gives an assurance of quality though you do feel that you are paying rather a lot for said name (but isn't that the case with all scents?) Lasting, it mellows rather than fades the moment it goes on. Like other scents that I associate with the 80's it has perhaps dated a little but it is not as overpowering as some. Comes in a range of products, Eau de Toilette, ...  Read the complete review

Fahrenheit, what a classic and soft fragrance. My husband only uses this aftershave that must be in spray form! It costs him a fortune though and I do think its expensive but have to say, love the smell on him. Its quite a gentle fragrance, thats not over-powering.... no matter how much he sprays on, which is normally a lot! I do however find it very hard to purchase but have managed to track it down at [The Perfume shop] were they always do special prices and are most reasonably priced against boots and superdrug. This product is also available as a deodorant body spray and shower gel, so for you ladies that like your men to smell nice... this is a must have ...  Read the complete review

Fahrenheit by christian dior is my favourite all time men's aftershave. My husband has been wearing this ever since we met and I loved his smell straight away. It is just gorgeous and has a rich woody smell to it which is strong but not over powering. The spray bottles are more expensive than the splash bottles but it is worth paying extra as it goes so much further in a spray form. Its really good value as even a tiny bottle can last around 3 months even when used frequently. It is easy to get hold of from chemists, supermarkets and various online retailers. Its one of those scents that will suit most people. The packaging is just a ...  Read the complete review
