Hard shell, soft core

Rarely has the saying "hard shell, soft core" hit the nail out of the head better than in Dior's Fahrenheit.

When I think of Fahrenheit, I see a very masculine man, with hair on his chest, cool charisma, who at first glance is not liked by everyone and does not want to be, who appears tough on the outside and always asserts himself in his job. This image is mainly created by the very present rubber/petrol note at the beginning of the fragrance, which will probably repel some people at first.

Like people, you have to engage with Fahrenheit, explore it more deeply and not rely solely on first impressions to experience its full character. The pungent petrol note recedes as the fragrance progresses and is complemented by a pleasantly warm vanilla-like note (I think tonka bean). This also changes the image of the wearer in my head. After work, the tough, unapproachable man becomes a caring husband and father who lovingly takes care of his wife and children.

So this Fahrenheit not only enables us to have an extraordinary fragrance experience, but also teaches us an important lesson: "don't judge a book by its cover!"
That's what makes this fragrance a true legend for me.
