Perfumer: Unknown.
Notes of violet, carnation, nutmeg, myrrh, leather, amber, guaiac wood, incense and oud.
For the 21st birthday of the original "Fahrenheit" fragrance, Dior introduces its new reformulation, "Fahrenheit Absolute", more intense and darker than the original.
"Absolute" begins just hot & fiery.
Intoxicating bitter woods with moroccan spices, similar hot dry spicy top notes as "CDG Harissa".
Then the same violet leaf as the original Fahrenheit but much softer.
I can smell the oudh faintly mixed in with incense and myrrh.
The drydown has definately got the myrrh more emphasized with it's signature dry woody smell.
It develops sweet and soft in the heart, (very to my taste) not as original but the myrrh, the incense and mossy elements put the juice in its own place.
The leather appears as a real punch on the drydown. Agressive sticky sweet and overdosed with the fiery undernotes and woods.
On my skin " Absolute" calms down in a candy perfume with a powdery mossy drydown.
Kind of too messy to my taste.
"Fahrenheit absolute" doesn't reinvent any new concept, but it will claim its own position on the market and for sure, will be admired & followed for a vast group of public.
It takes the best from the original creation and the best from the sweet oriental woody notes that are around in the male perfume market for several years. Even though not really my coup of tea. I will stand on the original so far.
