Amazing

I was curious, when I saw this fragrance for €7 on a webshop. Is it really that something this cheap can smell almost similar to a much more expensive scent?
Does it come close? Or will I get this really cheap cloud around me of some louche company?
So I decided to give it a go for this price.

And upon the first few sprays it already hit me... and was blown away!
Unbelievable that for this price, this smells almost identical to Fahrenheit.
Yes, almost...of course.
There are some slight differences. Mainly the quality, longevity and silage.
The quality is not bad, but you just know it's less. For this price.
Longevity was about 5 hours.
Silage was weak. It stays close to you, which isn't bad but could be better.
Also, the scent doesn't develop. After spraying it stays like this until it's gone.

BUT... for what's it worth...
It was unbelievable and I'm amazed. Well done La Rive.
Very well done!

A better "Fahrenheit" than current one

I bought it for about 5 euros. Smells very, very good, for me it smells better than actual formulation of Fahrenheit, but projection is average. A sorty of Fahrenheit cologne. Good for office, where you want a discreet perfume. Logevity is OK, I smell it on the skin even after 7-8 hours. But it smells stronger only in first 1-2 hours. For the price it's OK, IMHO.

Fleeting Floral Potpourri

My first comment in this forum - at this point, many thanks for the suggestions I have been able to take away - is about an outsider, a true budget option. Schlecker no longer exists, but Hitfire by La Rive does. Is it a bargain? I would say: yes. Of course, this is not a top product. The expression of the various notes is too flat and barely perceptible. The opening is very pleasant despite a floral, slightly sweet fullness - the violet sets the tone and maintains it without much nuance - I sniffed at my wrist so often that my colleagues started to look over at me with concern. However, it largely remains that way; there is hardly any development; the floral aspect recedes a bit after 1 to 2 hours, and something herbal, slightly burnt pushes forward... but that is already the dull conclusion; I would say: a bird flew past me that sat on a cedar for 10 minutes. After that, for me after about 3 to 4 hours, the potential of this special offer is exhausted, and one has to reapply. If one wants to. No, Hitfire is by no means bad, and even more expensive perfumes do not last significantly longer on me. At this price, you can't go wrong. A scent for occasionally - and it doesn't necessarily turn its wearer into a bargain bin offer.

La Rive's Vintage Clone Workshop

OK, maybe the headline is a bit exaggerated. Of course, Hitfire doesn't smell like Dior Fahrenheit 1988. How could a 93 vintage like me even determine that?
But it is a very good Fahrenheit clone, which possibly has more in common with Fahrenheit than today's Fahrenheit.
The ozone-leather note comes across very realistically, and the longevity is not worse in direct comparison to the reformulated version of the original.

"I know that one, isn't it Fahrenheit?"

Hitfire Man surprised me a few years ago.

It comes quite close to the original, although with this price, one shouldn't expect miracles in terms of longevity and sillage. However, I was able to fool one or two colleagues who, upon catching a whiff of the light fragrance breeze, asked me directly: "Isn't that Fahrenheit?".

Due to this positive surprise, I can recommend the scent to anyone looking for a very affordable Fahrenheit clone for casual wear.

Masculine, easy to wear and a ridiculous price. You can consider it as a signature scent for daily but never for a special date

When copying, you can take it word for word, but it still ends up with a different handwriting.
Well-made Fahrenheit dupe!

The fact that the good old Fahrenheit is still being copied shows that it's still wanted in 2021. A successful dupe of the violet classic.

Violet and lavender scent - sweet resin fills the air. Lemons shine brightly over the wooden frame - quite sweet, but well done!

Dior Fahrenheit, at a great price. Exceptionally close to the original. 5.50€ for 90ml. You can't go wrong! Fresh, spicy, OLDSCHOOL.

Cheap. Fahrenheit for a small budget. Not as dominant. That can be good too. For example, at the office..

Freshly cut wood with beeswax on a summer meadow, a splash of citrus freshness on top. Great dupe!

Fahrenheit is my father's signature scent. When I smell Hitfire, I think of him. Craftsmanship is average, but great value for money.

Remarkably similar to the original Fahrenheit in direct comparison. A bit softer. Longevity is okay for the price.

Significantly sweeter and softer than Fahrenheit. I tested it against a vintage sample. With Hitfire, you’re not a real rocker. (Or something like that.)
