Farenheit 32, Christian Dior.



Perfumers: Francois Demachy and Louise Turner.
Countains orange blossom (petitgrain), iris, rose, violet, vetiver and vanilla.

It's a real true juxtapose of higly sweetness vs. the sour and earthy notes.
There's something around It that make It little medicinal, smoky but sour too but I still can't figure out what It is yet.


I've never smelt anything like this. Even though it's good for winter, i think it's nice and clean for summer
Starts fresh and flowery. Petitgrain is the common flower of the orange tree. It has a distinctive citric soft aroma yet flowery.
I'm not really kin of this one, but then as I said above the petit grain fades away and appears the vetiver, sour and potent blending with a distinctive touch of vanilla.
The vanilla is promient yet very synthetic in an odd way. It is no as sweet as you can expect. It's much more fresh. I'm sure that contains musk, not shown in the pyramid, 'cause the dry down is more green and musty.
It's caothic the first hour, but then calms down in a real addictive dry down.


It's a new concept of modern oriental. Not spices here, It's fresh but not as much to be catalogued as a clean fragance, it's not woody at all too, to be woody. It's sweet, but fresh too in a fascinating way, specially when smelled in the distance.
it's just hard to catalogue really.
It surely has some coldness in it which I like.
Good for a summer perfume and even for winter nights.
Simple and elegant yet strong. Quite asexual too. I can see many women wearing this one.
It smells very "cold". It puzzles me: it's fresh yet not that kind of fresh, flowery and soapy but very sexy and distinguished.
I like that it's powerful and long lasting: sillage is monster and project as nothing I tried before, actually smell much better on projection than close to skin IMO, but smells too flowery and that medicinal vanilla smell going on... I'm not sure.
It won't be in my top list for sure but I have to admit that is a vey well done perfume and lots of people would find it addictive.
