Not sure it's the most interesting child of Angel, but it isn't the worst. Need to give it another try. And it is far too gourmand to be a chypre to me... I didn't love it, but didn't hate it either.

As the fragrance develops it has a few sweet notes in there that mixed with the strong patchouli have a touch of Angel about them. Fine if you like Angel - a little bit cloying and sickly if you don't. What is remarkable about the fragrance are the orange notes. They used three different oranges, seville, bitter and one other (which escapes me right now) but the result is a lingering orange scent that you can smell hours after you apply it. To many people it won't smell like a typical chypre. Instead of lemony top notes they used orange. And instead of oakmoss and labdanum they've used patchouli. Bit of a revisit of the 1970s.

On the other hand, they could also have thought of a name that would ring similar to that of Fahrenheit. How about Celsius? Ok, I admit it sounds awful... :-) Yes, you do have a point there.

I think that is why we see so very many flankers these days (see today's lead article for the rest of that rant). Anyway, this one sounds like it could be interesting -- I will certainly give it a try. Why the same name — well, why not capitalize on an existing group of fans?

The new scent though (why the same name if it's the opposite, I ask you) is definitely my cuppa tea, hoping however that vanilla is well-behaved :-) Agree that Fahrenheit is a great scent but not for me – the smell of gasoline makes me nauseous, although I did wear it back in the day.

Both descriptions of the scent I've seen are so brief that I wouldn't make any judgments for sure. Could be rind, could be blossoms, could be anything. I've heard the "white flowers" are frangipani.

If it is a great scent, you'll forgive it, but if it isn't, I know the feeling: they had no business naming it Fahrenheit anything. Its a great name though, Fahrenheit 32!

I shall have to sample this. I think an orange rind chypre would be smashing..must experiment. BTW, I'm probably very late in mentioning this, but I do love your new logo for NST!
