Fahrenheit Dior 1988 Eau de Toilette

Three years ago or so I wanted to try a new fragrance, after I had worn about 20 years exclusively CK One. Can also be that my dear wife wanted to give me like times "something new". So we both stumbled into the D****** at the main train station in Cologne and immediately got to a somewhat over-motivated consultant. Shortly thereafter were with me on all possible body parts test sprayers - from Bleue de Chanel to TF Noir, it was really every scent - until it was enough for me at some point and we left the store in a hurry. At home, I then frantically tried to wash everything off me... which did not really go well.

A few days later, after I had gotten over this shock, my wife rummaged out of one of her baskets a small red 30ml perfume bottle. The logo and name of the perfume were scuffed beyond recognition. She handed it to me with the words:" Fahrenheit. You used to smell it a lot and I thought it was so great back then that I bought it for myself just to smell it now and then." Me: "When, d-a-m-a-l-s?" She back, "Joah, like 1991 or 92". I so: "Oha, if that is not yet turned over. Well, at least it was apparently dark stored, all' the 30 years. "She again: "No, it's in top condition, I can smell it. I know the scent. But you can forget the new version. The old stuff is still really good and also keeps longer."

"Well, okay. Then let's give it a try." Black curved cap off, and on it with the stuff (two sprays on the forearm). Tz, tz, ... sniff... uiuiui ... that smells like gasoline! Can you light it? And... after freshly cut grass! So strong, that really makes the airways free! Does not violate any EU directives and is such a thing today even permissible?

Since then, I have really taken a liking to Fahrenheit. However, I can wear it only in the fall and only on certain occasions (there, where exclusively people in the age group 40+ run around), because somehow I feel so oldschoolig with it that I prefer to spare younger people with it. My wife loves it on me, anyway. Definitely, the fragrance itself (from 1991, as it turned out based on the batch code) is really an absolute hammer and I'm amazed at how well the perfume has held up - probably the "good old Stöffchen" were still used back then - ingredients that are probably no longer allowed today. This probably also ensures the very good sillage, which unfolds clearly and persistently already at a- two sprays.

I have' now, after about three years (and a few fragrance experiences older), half of my 30ml vintage bottle consumed and sniff like to also just times so at the bottle. Is a bit like standing in a leather jacket at a gas station and smell the fresh gasoline (only in delicious), and I'm still surprised every time how fierce and fresh Fahrenheit smells :-)
