For me, Fahrenheit has always had a certain touch of nostalgia, because I come from a generation that knows the smell of childhood.
At that time I didn't know what the fragrance was called or what fragrances should be in general, I only knew that my parents wore them.
When I started to take an interest in fragrances myself, I inevitably came across Fahrenheit at some point and knew the first sprayer directly: "I've known that from before! I felt like I was in some kind of bubble.
After sniffing my way through the currently available Fahrenheit family (perfume, EdT and EdC, I haven't been around long enough for other Flankers) I got stuck with EdC. The scent that is in my memory is of course only a picture of my fantasy and so in the form as my thoughts draw it there is nowhere else, but Fahrenheit Cologne really comes close to me! I'm not saying that it's actually more similar to the 90s version than the current formulation or something like that, I don't have anything to compare with and I honestly wouldn't care, but it reminds me of what burned into my scent memory back then and it's really valuable to me.
The scent itself: In the top note I perceive above all a broad bouquet of citric notes in which the Fahrenheit DNA is integrated. After about 10-15 minutes the violet appears more clearly, accompanied by the cedar wood. The fresh and light feeling is not lost. I don't mind the missing leather note mentioned by the previous speaker, because I'm not a big friend of leather anyway.
After about three hours, the fragrance ends woody and the woody note remains on the skin for another two hours, but can only be smelt there immediately. Considering the fragrance concentration and the many citric notes, the durability is quite okay for me.
The weight/depth that the "standard" Fahrenheit brings with it is not so present here and because it is a lighter and not so distinctive fragrance, I can well understand that it doesn't find much approval, especially if you like the EdT.
But fragrances are subjective and I personally am totally enthusiastic about this fragrance. Not only because it smells like it does, but also because it reminds me of my childhood days and triggers a feeling of light-heartedness.
