There is no need for any other fragrance. This is what I smell like.

After reading all the raves of Fahrenheit, I tried a whiff at a department store a few months back. My initial reaction was…”oh my God, it’s old man stink.” I couldn’t believe how peppery, smoky, and…well, STANKY it struck me. I kept sniffing my wrist as I walked through the mall and each time was freshly amazed that Fahrenheit was such a huge seller. And yet…like so many women who smell Angel for the first time, are turned off, but oddly compelled to go back and try it again, I want to give Fahrenheit another go. I’m really jonesing for an earthy, dark, smoky fragrance as of late, what with the cold weather and my own expanded fragrance experience in the past year. (Plus, I feel that sort of scent fits my personality more than the ultra-clean, sporty, marine godawfulness omnipresent in the men’s fragrance market.) The IDEA of Fahrenheit appeals to me immensely, I’m just split on the real-life incarnation. But if I go back to the store and experience a revelation, I’ll be sure to report back.

I adore Fahrenheit – the first time I smelled it I thought no other man’s perfume had the appeal or personality that Fahrenheit has.Too bad almost everyone seems to wear it lately, it’s ruining the charm.

Fahrenheit has only a slight family resemlence to Fahrenheit 32, the latter is VERY similar to JPG Fleur du Male IMO.

Hi Kevin: I too get that “telephone pole coated with tar” feeling, though my brain translates it into creosote. I can’t decide if I like it, or hate it .. but it certainly sticks in my mind (that old commercial “I can’t seem to forget you/Your Wind Song stays on my mind”, I am dating myself!!!). I know what this “do I or don’t I” really means … I’m gonna buy a bottle! Thanks for leading me to another intriguing scent!

Cyprus1: sorry for the confusion in the long ANONYMOUS section since we switched from Blogharbor. .. but I hope the person whose lady friend was searching for a Fahrenheit replacement finds you comment!

I know that I am late to this discussion, but I have been trying to replace my favourite fragrance Ultima II Sheer Scent for Her by Revlon. It has been discontinued for a couple of years now and I have found it impossible to buy anywhere on the planet. What I have been told though, is that Fahrenheit has very similar notes, so I tried it out. On first sniff, I was excited, but within seconds the excitement was gone, it’s just not Ultima II Sheer Scent. Close, but just not quite there. So Kevin, I think that your lady friend would love this, if she could manage to find a bottle.

This is my first and only bottle of aftershave thus far. I picked it out in Belk's last Christmas because I wanted to spend some of my cash on something like this. I sniffed about 20 different ones before I got to Fahrenheit and it really stood out to me, plus I wanted to go old school so I didn't want a cream. As a neophyte olfactor, I had no idea what I was looking for in a scent, but after reading this I must have been on the right track. Everyone around me likes it and no one has ever said anything negative. I am also glad that I found such a unique scent. All of the other ones smelled really moist (if that makes any sense). I really liked the harsh beginning (someone above said something about tarred pine logs and I agree) and I have now found the subsequent notes since reading this review. After a year I think it is time to branch out, so any suggestions or starting places? Also, can you wear cologne and aftershave (I really hate having too much scent)?

I bought this socalled common parfume at Douglas, although I dislike this store and therefore prefer to buy those character-performing goods at little boutiques, but well, what should I say, it was a nice scent which normally wont be found in those stores where more and more pre-prepared average-scents are offered at comparingly high prices….I often think that those parfum cartel's like P&G Prestige only support a lack of creativity because they are to much afraid of flops…..but Fahrenheit was a good invention.

The new “Vaporisateur de Voyage” 40 ml Fahrenheit and Fahrenheit 32 can be seen on Marionnaud's website.
