Very good clone of Fahrenheit
Very good clone of Fahrenheit. Doesn't smell exactly the same in the opening but gets more similar as time progresses. Good longevity and projection. As with all Milton Lloyds, the sprayer takes getting used to. Considering the very low price this is a 10/10.

Fresh / Dirty / Sexy / Attractive !!
I have had the fragrance with me for a few days now and I really have to say that it is simply amazing !!.
It starts off quite harsh and overwhelming but quickly becomes more pleasant and reveals its magic and power.
The scent is very masculine and at the same time fresh, the wearer is surrounded by a very attractive, mature, fresh, and simultaneously dirty aura. really sexy !!!
The comparison to Fahrenheit is unmistakable and what surprised me a lot is its really good performance.
For the first 3 hours, it projects really strongly, then it tapers off a bit and becomes quite close to the skin after 6-7 hours but is still noticeable.
The big surprise is that when sprayed on clothing, it still smells very strong after 24 hours, so really phenomenal.
So for the price, the longevity and projection are sensational.
As a fan of Fahrenheit, you should definitely test this one, it's really an absolute hit !.
The spray nozzle sprays like a deodorant, so be careful when applying as a lot of perfume comes out.

Conclusion
Sensational scent for little money that performs very well, a must for all Dior fans.
Definitely test it !!!!

The Alternative
A few weeks ago I received The Man Cobalt and today I applied it for the first time.
I can't make the described comparison to vintage Fahrenheit because I don't know it. So I measure it against the "current" Fahrenheit, which I once owned; mine was from 2012. The Man Cobalt is clearly a very successful Fahrenheit dupe.
The original, in comparison to this, seems more mass-appealing to me, perhaps even softened.
The Man Cobalt comes across as much more rugged and spicier. I also perceive the well-known
"gasoline note" as much more intense than in the original, which of course also always depends on the dosage, but it should be used sparingly, as TMC has quite a good sillage.
All in all, when I compare the prices, I really don't need to think long about which fragrance I would choose. The differences are there, even significant. However, for my taste, they are not so drastic that I would necessarily choose the current Fahrenheit.
But that's a matter of taste, or in this case, more likely a matter of smell.

A great dupe. If not the best one for Fahrenheit that you can buy. Very good longevity. It smells exactly like the original Fahrenheit. It surprised me a lot and I have been ordering it regularly for years.

My Abitur
It is the year 1998. A young me on the graduation trip in Crete. Just before, I bought "Fahrenheit (Eau de Toilette) | Dior," as it was considered a wild scent and I wanted to finish my high school years wild anyway. Alongside drinking, partying, and girls, I met my first love.

So, I have many connections to this fragrance, which I thought I had lost forever. I still remember as if it were yesterday how unique the herbal notes were highlighted by a pronounced benzene scent.

Without great expectations, I ordered "The Man Cobalt | Milton-Lloyd / Jean Yves Cosmetics," as many describe it as the OG scent of "Fahrenheit (Eau de Toilette) | Dior." A few days later, it arrived. With slightly sweaty hands, I opened the package. Can it be that such a cheap item in an even cheaper bottle is really worth something?

The first spray from the pressurized bottle, which works like a hairspray. Very unusual already, and then...... the scent penetrates my sinuses and I am 18 again, standing next to the girl by the pool that I shyly flirted with. It really is it! Hard to believe!

The longevity is impressive for the price and an EDT. 8 hours. No problem. Sillage is also slightly above average.

Conclusion: Thank you for that, Milton Lloyd! Don't judge a book by its cover.

I spent a year buying over 100 bottles looking for a masculine fragrance. Sometimes I think this is the only one I really needed.

Fahrenheit triggers me, and I also don't like the gasoline note from the strongly synthetic leather, citrus, musk, and violet here.

Spicy-woody, fresh, with a hint of gasoline, delicate violet, rough leather. I like you. Actually similar to Fahrenheit.

Vintage Fahrenheit. My original batch from '96 smells exactly the same. Enough depth, leathery, and with a lot of petroleum. Price? Oh right, €5 for 50ml.

It smelled like the shaving foam of the original Fahrenheit. After about 4 hours, the scent loses its shape.

Awesome stuff. Just like I remember the OG Fahrenheit. Herbal petrol. It's 1998 again and I'm graduating high school.

Herb violets under cedars in an ivy bed. Dry-herb-woody with a blue heart! Fahrenheit?
Not at all! To my nose's delight - much more herbal!

The citrus bomb lands in the flower bed. The depth provides the animalistic leather, and the cedar adds seriousness. Fahrenheit is unrecognizable.
